New Acquisitions

TonyB was cool enough to let me take some stingies off his hand that he felt weren't quite his style. They DO fit me to a "t".

Grey Knox

Tan-ish Vauxhall. The color is a tad faded but I think this will be my new work hat since khaki chinos are part of my work uniform. Can't decide if I like the brim up or down.

Chocolate brown stingy Stetson. I like this one best. The perfect color for my favorite suit.

There was also a size 7 Champ that I'm giving to my brother. He has a much smaller dome than I.

Looking good. All you need to do know is find a nice smile!

They look much better on you than they ever did on me, ortega76. As to the Vauxhall: At first glance I vote for brim down, but then, I wore my 1957-vintage light blue Stetson Ambassador snapped down when I first got it, and now it's the only hat I wear with the brim turned up all around. I'll admit that I was inspired to change my ways when I saw a period ad for that hat, which jamespowers was good enough to post. Yup, it showed the brim up.
I'm happy that you're happy with the deal. And I'll take this opportunity to once again plug the FL classifieds department. My experience with it, as both a buyer and a seller, has been entirely positive.

Lookin good Ortega, but I'd have to agree about finding a smile.

Cheers!

Point taken.

I DO smile on occasion.

 

[DanielJones]

That's better!

Cheers!

Oh leave the guy alone! I hate when some guy on the street tells me to smile. Why should I smile for you, impolite stranger on the street?

Hm I guess that doesn't really apply here.

In self-taken pics with the digital, I "forget" to smile as I look at the little screen, craning my arm around and trying to push the little buttons. I guess I could break down and buy a tripod but what fun would that be?

 

[Charlie Reader]

Wow, they're all nice. I like the second one's shape in particular. And I'd wear the brim down.
