I must say This lid is beautiful! With varying shades of red available, I think that I could pull this or similar shade of this off! I like the shark gill treatment which for me, helps to occupies my eyes in addition to focusing on the overall color... The taller crown...Shorter brim...I like! Even though it's bright, there's a certain subtlety to it. DOGMAN, you've piqued my interest...
jlee562,I dig your Black Cherry.I need to get me one of those.Thanks again everyone for the positive comments.Makes me want to wear my red hat more often.
Dogman, that is one great looking lid and you wear it well.
I've always liked the idea of a red fedora, but you don't seem them too often. I got a wide maroon band and binding on my oxblood Optimo, to bring out the red in that complex felt color. I don't know if it makes the felt look more red, but it is definitely my wife's favorite hat and it gets the most compliments from strangers, too.
I've got a few hats in the pipeline right now, so a true red will have to wait for the future. But I could see it happening
I don't have pictures at the moment since the bulk of my belongings are in storage, but I own a red Akubra snowy river. Not quite a fedora, I know, but a hat and a very red one. I wear it mostly when running errands and especially when hiking as it lets everybody know where I am lol. But honestly, I receive more complements on that red hat than all my other hats combined, and I own a lot of hats. It's such a strange thing to me, and maybe it is because the color stands out so people notice it.
I've also found that because a red hat doesn't exactly go with anything, I can pretty much wear it with anything but green. Green and red just sets off too many holiday signals in my head lol.
Now I'm also the guy who wears Hawaiian shirts nearly three seasons of the year so I'm not the most fashionably inclined many might say. But I wear what I want and with much enjoyment and isn't that all that matters lol. I'll see if I can dig up a picture of my red Akubra.
Not for the faint of heart, Lando, I would be more surprised if you didn't have a red fedora! If any member of the Lounge can successfully pull off a red felt, it's you, sir! It's no surprise that folks are moved to comment, as it must be eye-catching.
