On the move again...
Why thank you Lauren, most appreciated. That was a great trip to Disneyland. We'll be doing another trip there in December and I hope to get more of a "It's a Wonderful Life" look to some of the photos with all of the Christmas decorations around. Here are a couple more of my B! Wear Gatsby Cap.

I have to say, you have some very fine hats yourself. Would love to know where you acquired some of them.

Cheers!

DanielJones, I get my hats from all over! I try not to spend more than $20 a hat, but every once and a while I'll go in for the big bucks if they're special enough. My absolute favorite place to find them is estate sales or garage sales because it feels like you're rescuing them! I also run across them on Ebay or in Antique stores. It's getting harder and harder to find good and stylish 30's and 40's hats! All the years of girls playing dress up with them, or they are way out of my price range. Here's some more of mine:

Here's the back of that one. I forgot to get rid of the black hair tie for that one. Oops!

I agree, the Biltmore!

Looks great with the pinstripe suit. My favorite suits always had that super light pinstripe. The beachcomber hat I can really see in the keys with a frozen beverage of some kind.

With Respect,
Rob

Great Photos, Alan!

A very nice collection...I'd be happy with any of them. I haven't tried a homburg yet - not sure that I could carry it off as well as you. The Biltmore looks great, and the ribbon treatment on the Miller is first-rate - an unusual but very flattering color. My favorite however, is the beachcomber. It might've been 45 degrees outside, but you look straight off the beach.

...and now, as promised, a photo of me wearing the Pilgrim that you were so kind to sell to me.

(...and, before any one asks, Alan and I are NOT brothers! But with a collection like his, I wouldn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t mind having familial access to the hat rack!) :)

Biltmores Anyone?

Johnnysan: This would be a great thread to show off your new Biltmore, hope I didnt tell any secrets!! I'll try and get my wife to stop laughing long enough to shoot me in my new Dobbs (camera that is).
