I've just received a two-toned, Biltmore milan from Hatsdujour, an Ebay vendor:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Biltmore-Natura...496781302?pt=US_Hats&var=&hash=item9503945dcd
The international shipping was really quick. The hat is very nice: 2 1/8 brim, crown not too skimpy, and the milan braid is far, far finer than the modern Dobbs I have. It is almost vintage 1960s fine. It also has a real lether sweatband. I'm very happy with the hat and impressed with the quick shipping.:)

Jauntyone, you wear the 1960s as if you'd been there. I always enjoy your pictures and your outfits. Thanks for posting.

best,
Alan

Royal Stetson Playboy

Color was very hard to capture with my Canon point and shoot... it's a loden green with copper colored ribbon. Very clean example, soft felt of fair quality. An interesting comparison to my earlier playboy which, in it's modest unstructured style, is sublime. The later version is sublime minus, I would say.

Thanks chaps! I do have a French surname so maybe it's some natural instinct asserting itself... At least I fought off the urge to put onions around my neck.... :)

Yes. Have really got into scarves and cravats recently. I think it's a great way of giving a vintage feel to a non vintage outfit :)
