No Love For Black Hats

[Snowman]

This black Fed IV has become one of my favorite hats, especially in rainy weather.

In an effort to contribute to this forum I offer an Optimo Dearborn that I enhanced with a feather to add contrast.

I'll go for black most any time!

This black Fed IV has become one of my favorite hats, especially in rainy weather.

I keep telling myself that I have two, respectable black fedoras (and a third with a bottle green ribbon) and so should look at something else, but I love the Akubra Fed so much I fear that once I have all the other colour options covered (just a moonstone and maybe a new brown to go, my MkIII DLX in brown being still in very good shape but getting on in years) I might well weaken and buy a black. I'm telling myself it could be a candidate for an unusual bash, like the Al Capone 'coffee bean' look... In terms of the combination of style, quality and price, the Fed is a world-beater for me.

Thanks BB. It’s not a high quality hat but it resembles the style Cole wore during the last yrs of his life.

I believe that a black hat looks nice with silver hair. Black also has s slimming effect.

These are the things that a fat old man whispers to himself when he looks in the mirror. Lol Yeah, guilty as charged.

I do wear black. Always in the cooler months though. Not out of fashion consideration, more like survival in the hot Texas sun.
