What hat are you waiting for today?

Nope. I'm confident that I'm hideous in all lighting and from any distance or angle.

But I have a great personality!


Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Reminds me of this cartoon.

You have a New Slant ... correct Mike?
what are your thoughts on it?
Love it to death, it is a true light weight. Even though it is lined, it feels lighter than my unlined hats. Of course, what I love about it is the 50's manly man liner and the felted ribbon treatment. I think mine is of the mid-late 50s. The "New Slant" shows up earlier in ads though.

Most of the photos I find of the New Slant they have either a pug style ribbon or a traditional bowed ribbon.
Yours and I think maybe only one other are the only ones I've seen with the felted belt style band like mine ... interesting
