Post New Hats Here!

[StylinLA]

Latest VS

Got it awhile back, but here's a beauty from Art Fawcett. Silverbelly with diamond crown and burgandy ribbon.

Went right to the source of the Dillinger hat from PUBLIC ENEMIES; Graham Thompson at OPTIMO.

Hat is blocked a little differently than the movie version and lower crown.

Oxblood, 2.5 inch brim with underwelt. (The hat in the movie is evidently 1 7/8 brim).

I really like his new liner color.

That's way cool! Did Graham throw in a few hundred rounds of .30-06 for your BAR? :eusa_doh: :whistling

Nice dents. Yours or Art's?

No, but he should have thrown in some .45 ammo for the Thompson!

All Art...I've been too chicken to start messing with the steam and all. I will eventually though.

 

[St.Ignatz]

Stylin', is that the Neptune Blue?

...is this Stetson Temple I got from Not-Bogart. I like it a lot.

Great lid Blackthorn!

Say...weren't you on "The Love Boat"? "Get Smart"?

Great looking lid! I'm planning a pilgrimage to Optimo in October. I'd better take my credit card.

I NEED a hat exactly like that! Beautiful!

The Art VS is Silverbelly. It mostly has a gray tone to it.

The Optimo is Oxblood, which is a brown with a heavy red tone.

Maybe take a couple...

Tough photographing these hats....it looks sort of neutral colored in the photo...or maybe beige or off white.

But in the real world it's a light, light gray. If you wear it with gray suit, it really brings the gray out.

I believe Silverbelly is a classic cowboy "dress" hat color. I also think it's commonly used on the Stetson Open Road and the Penny's Marathon (as seen on Jeff Bridges in the movie SEABISCUIT.)

Put this on my head and it just kept going. The size tag is wrong, its really a 7-1/2(stamped on underside of sweat) and generous at that. This is a big hat, 6" open crown and 2-3/4" brim. 23-11/16" Circumference(8-1/4"x6-3/4"). Good bit of dust, I think the areas that appear a little lighter would probably disappear with a proper cleaning. The original basher stuffed it low ala Bogart to 4-1/4 at the center front and 4" at the rear.

Do you want to get rid of this beaut? I'm a 7 1/2..

No, but he should have thrown in some .45 ammo for the Thompson!

Right, I think I got Dillinger mixed up with Clyde Barrow. I can't keep track of my bank robbers.

Nice hat Blackthorn. I have a really nice black Temple that I like to wear in the cooler weather. Looks good on you.

That is a beautiful hat, StylinLA. That color and ribbon are incredibly well suited for each other and you did well with the wider brim choice. Looks like quality inside and out!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

My new Campdraft in Glen grey arrived yesterday

Unfortunately, it was a very very roomy size 62, so it will take some serious shrinking before I can even consider giving a bash and wearing it in:

Looks like a hat for the whole family!

My Glen Grey seemed to be the largest of my 3 Campdrafts. With soaking for creasing & letting it dry quickly is sunlight, it drew up nicely. I don't need spacers behind the sweatband anymore. I didn't have quite that much to shrink, tho. Best of luck...
