I do really like the Vagabond. ...its your style!

Thanks again, folks.

Yes, that Vagabond just took right to me. The brim doesn't even distort around in the back like most fedoras do on my lumpy head. Nicki noticed that and said, man, that's YOUR hat. I am really jazzed.

Unfortunately for my willpower (and my checkbook!), Garrett and I wear the same hat size. In the last week he tempted me with the following lovelies and they all came to my house today:

Mallory Ten

Venerable Borsalino that will add just the right touch to my collection of vintage fur coats. (Rather hot taking this image today!)

Really cool boater that's just the thing to top off a black linen suit

Barbisio velour that will be smashing for the symphony this winter.

Thanks, Bart. You are a true gentleman.

Oh - and here's the tan Borsolino that arrived yesterday from eBay. Did some preliminary creasing on it.

It's a good thing my husband just acquired a collection of WWII-era movie cameras or I'd really be the victim of some teasing. ;)

Gene - That is a fabulous hat and it looks incredible on you. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

marvelgoose - I love it! The color's terrific on you. I, too, can't wait for crisper weather so I can move from straws to felts.

The "eat" part was more a reference to the fact that my baby actually encourages me to get more hats instead of gripin' about it. She's a sweetie!

THANKS A LOT. Just rub it in will ya :mad:...

Actually, a good woman love's a man's passion

and visa versa

I happen to have some passions myself

and a good woman too :D.

My wife would disagree with you wholeheartedly about that. lol We were penpals for 4 years........you would think I could've convinced her to marry me quicker. But there is something about ladies in fedoras

late 1940s Stetson Mode Edge

I can't compete with Gene, but here's my latest arrival. The good news is that it really is a Mode Edge, has a fantastic sweatband, has incredibly soft 3x felt, and it fits me perfectly. The bad news is it needs major work.

It's a very nice bluish-grey. This is the best I could prep it for 'before' pics, but looking forward to showing a rejuvenated version tomorrow:

Maam, those are some excellent choices for you. I can identify with the checkbook issue...
