Post New Hats Here!

I wish I looked as good in a Homburg as you do. Great look.

Thanks CS. You need to try one. Once you have one, you need every color!

I gave myself a present.

Welcome to the Fray! Very nice way to make a splash.

Fantastic looking hat, Mike. I guess you took some inspiration from the Cavanagh you sent to Matt. Wonderful how you managed to smuggle these little details, like the brim stitching, in and still keep it clean and classic looking. A triumph!

This one was a real collaboration with Mike Miller. He has always wanted to make a Bone Burg! He had it in his display case and it was a big hit. More will probably surface.

There. Now it's a Boxcar ribbon.

I think I like it, too! Depending on the occasion, this could really work well. Vegas trip, anyone? Vegas Night fundraiser, etc, etc.

I have one. I really like them but I don't think I look good in it. Actually I have two but I shaped one to look more like a derby. Went open crown with it.

Ha! As if.

Nah, I've long considered myself to be one of those "parallel parked in a diagnonal universe" type of people.

Most days you'll see me in jeans, running shoes, some collarless shirt and a nice fedora. Is it a style? Yes. It's my style.

That's why you fit in so well here, sir! Kindred spirits, variously angle-parked in a parallel universe!!
And your style IS perfect; as the lady said, "fashion is something you purchase, but style is something you must posess," and you do!

I like it!! Maybe a little smaller, I'll have to look for a pin like this. I would definitely do this. Thanks.

The funny thing is that I whipped that up for the joke, but when it was done I thought, "Y'know, that doesn't look half bad." The dice on the hat, that is, not my amateur Photoshop results.

Nice present! Welcome to the lounge.

Only myself

Do you like dice games? Is that correct English.

It got me thinking about commissioning something like this from my wife's jeweler. Or maybe something in ivory. More money out the window...thanks.

If Red does this, I'm going to be forced to call him Diamond Jim.

If you do, trademark it. Beats the hell out of matchsticks.

I used to use the Aces & Eights card hand as a business logo. I probably should have trademarked that.

I just can't pass up a cheap Resistol. I didn't have a green hat, so now I do.

Took a chance on ebay. My first Vintage 50's era Hückel. This one worked out, very impressed at the rich black felt and overall good quality of this fedora.

Something about a black Huckel that just looks so smooth.

I've always wanted a gray Stratoliner. At last, I have found one! Early 1950's era

No Sir, not really; I'm not much of a gambler. But I do know the term "boxcars" is American/English slang for rolling two sixes (allegedly because they resemble two freight cars, or "box cars", of a train). So when Redfokker mentioned the ribbon on his hat is a "Boxcar style" my mind immediately put the two together. And yes, your English is very good!

Sorry about that Chief! Silly me, my first thought was to turn it into a project for myself--get a couple of those "lapel pin" backings and a pair of dice, cut the "six" faces off of the dice, glue the pin backings on, and call it done. Then it occurred to me that I couldn't possibly be the first person to think of this and a quick Google search turned up a couple of options, but they're clearly "jewelry" items that don't look like real dice, so...

I like the green. What do you have in store for this hat? I’m curious to see if you keep it substantially as it is it if you’re going to rework it into something quite different.

I’m lusting over that and I don’t usually even like black hats.
