On the fourth day of Stingymas, I chose one of my European slim brims. This Borsalino has all the classic lines of a true stingy. The color is Mirtillo (Blueberry) and the felt it just crazy nice on this one. This is one of my favorite slim brims.

Stingy Strat!?!?! I don’t suppose this 40s to early 50s Stetson Stratoliner started its life as a stingy but somewhere along the way it likely got a trim to a nice tight two inches. I might be disappointing... but it really makes for an awesomely proportioned grab and go light weight stingy with an unusual for short brim thin ribbon.

I really like this one Joe. The stingy brim is very cool!

Yesterday Dobbs hats made their presence known, today it's Knox, so...

Initially I thought this hat would look good with a taller than usual (for me, that is) crown with a good amount of rake, but changed my mind after seeing these photos and I re-creased the crown lower in front. Unfortunately, I haven't taken new photos yet. I'm also not a long oval, but the hat fits my regular oval head comfortably.
