Post New Hats Here!

[Zombie_61]

Brims go up and down depending on how you like it and want to wear it. I believe the hat would look better with less crown drop from front to back. The back of the crown can be raised up a bit.

Oh, okay. The rake was not intentional. I was trying to add a little height to the crown with the new crease and, as I posted upthread, it took on this shape almost immediately; by far the easiest crease I've ever done. For a change I "listened to the hat" when it became clear that this was the shape it wanted, and it fit so well when I tried it on that I thought it best to leave well enough alone. As the saying goes, "The enemy of good is better". I might try to re-shape it again in the future, but for now I like it.

It's clear to me that you have good taste in hats (or that our tastes are similar), and that you know what works and what doesn't, so I sincerely appreciate your opinions!

The mature blonde in the beard will ensure no one confuses you with a hipster. OTOH, a variety of brims, crowns, and materials seem to be the mark of a man who knows it's the man who makes the hat.

Besides that, it looks good on you.

"Mature blonde". Ha! No need to be shy with me my friend, I'm a graybeard and proud of it! And thank you!

I guess you're getting there.

Mature blonde is a term I coined a while back. Feel free to use it at will. No royalties involved.

I like that. My drivers license still says "blonde", so that gives me official verification that I have not gone grey!

My driver's license photo says I'm still 35, 'cause they haven't taken a new one in 20 years.

Ladies and Gentleman. I just wanted to share this pic again of my newly acquired Dobbs fifteen in light blue grey with blue ribbon.
This hat embodies to me what a fedora is all about.

Sharp, and looks like it's in excellent condition! Great color too, it should be very versatile.

Thanks all.
Yes it certainly is in great shape for its age. Liner is nearly stain free.
Some moth nibbles here and there.

Love the style on this one.

Looks like a Guild Edge on there. Nice.

While visiting NYC, Adam with JJ Hat Center just hooked me up with a new Akubra Bushman.

Thank you, Adam!

Nice hat. What's the story on the Stetson poster in the background, @bluesforchallah ? Is it an original from back in the day?

I couldn't tell 'ya, the photo was taken in the entrance of JJ Hat Center.

Fabulous! With the box, a true historical story of fashion and aviation history. I am in awe!
