Post New Hats Here!

[RobFedoraField]

sorry about that

well my first post didn't go as well as I'd hoped,

I didn't intent for the pics to be quite so "supersized"

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Welcome, Rob!

I don't mind the photo size. I like to be able to see the details.

You seem to do well in a variety of brim widths. Happy hat hunting and g'luck with the missus.

Interesting - the same color as a Rhodesian Ridgeback too. Symbolic?

Welcome to the Lounge Rob. Good luck with the hat hunting!!!

Not a bad idea, since it kind of takes after another dog...the Whippet. Incidentally, didn't Lee make the Penney Marathons? That DuPont Aridex tag reminds me of the Lee ad that I recently posted mentioning the Aridex waterproofing.

Once again, great lid, IC!

Cheers,

Some new hats, a gift from an Aunt:

1960s Moroccan Fez:

Early '70s Russian Astrakhan hat, possibly for a woman?

This one not from Aunt, a 30s-40s Russian rabbit fur Ushanka:

Nice looking group of hats, Rob. Welcome to the lounge. You'll like it here.

Ridgeback, good name for that hat, IC, but the hat's no dog.

[indycop]

Very nice, love the color!:eusa_clap

 

[RBH]

Very nice Ken, what kind of crease do you have in it?

 

[Colby Jack]

Ken is that the deluxe or the regular Fed?

 

[Boxerken]

I put a diamond bash in it RBH, my fav crease, Colby it's a reg fed. I was very suprised at how soft it was.

 

[Garrett]

[deelovely]

Bolthead sent me this hat! Thanks Bolthead

 

[bolthead]

Glad it fits......:eusa_clap

IndyCop, I have a Penney's Marathon in silverbelly with that ridge in the crown. Love that hat. Yours is fantastic. RBH rules!

LordBest, is that middle photo of a smoking cap, perhaps?

Boxerken, the Fed' looks superb!

Dee, you always look great - and that is a very nice addition to your hat collection. Way to go, Bolty!

The Capital by Portis

Here is the Portis I won on ebay last week. It looked green in the pictures but it's more brown than anything else. The ribbon needs a good cleaning but I don't want to take it off.

I thought the diamond with a cross would set this one off.

 

[LordBest]

Boxerken, your picture just convinced me to buy a Fed, I had been prevaricating.

HarpPlayerGene, it could well be, it is a similar shape to a smoking cap I believe. I have never seen one in Astrakhan before, but then, I have seen many smoking caps at all.
