Blue-Gray Ambassador from johnnyphi. It says "Hats with character" or, maybe "Hats for
characters", either way it's a nice hat.
By the way, Paladin, that oxblood VS is the cat's meow!

Man in Black
This pic could as well be placed in the New Hat thread, as well as in the Fawcett Hall of Fame. My best wishes go out to Art Fawcett, for making this beautiful black VS, and to Donato, who commissioned the hat and from whom I did obtain it.
I do not consider myself a Man in Black, but today that was what happened to be. Apologies for the photographing technique. (I am working on it...)

Mr P., I remembered last year's bowler pics and was awaiting for the new ones! And TREMENDOUS gift too! You must have been a veeeeery good boy... 
DRB, nice "cozy" pic.
Hatophile, is there an actual end to that string of great hats?

Dobbs "Fifteen". It is a warm grey felt with a hint of purple; the dark maroon ribbon is great for combining with like-hued complements... so it was an ideal chance for this particular bow tie!

Nice one. A good brim size for you.

Great black VS, Bantam man, looks great with those eyeglasses.
Thank you, Torpedo, you are looking sharp as ever with that hat and overcoat. As far as hats, I'm just trying to keep up with RLK, but it's a losing battle, I'm afraid.

150719541, RobFedorafield, Bart--Thanks guys! I love the new Art! It is superb in every way and I am so excited to have it. It is all I have worn since I got it. Rob, the traditional "wearing of the bowler" occurs in the Paladin household only on Christmas Day to pass out presents and spend the day with family, because it is the only hat I have my wife does not want to appear with me in public while wearing. She is English and says only British bankers in black suits with silver handled umbrellas can wear a bowler and not look affected. Since she enjoys all the other 50+ hats I have, I am happy to confine the wearing of the bowler to Christmas Day; hence the tradition! The grandkids love it and the stick I carry with it.
Today, my VS Oxblood again!
That is a grand looking lid Mr. Paladin!
Cheers!
Dan

Well, I did actually wear this hat today too, but the picture is from Christmas day:
Looks like Christmas in Yosemite. Very cool indeed!
Cheers!

That's a classic shot, as a matter of fact. I like the bash and how you've got the brim. You wouldn't know what era the photo is from without a date.

Thanks very much! I am quite taken with this hat, it's a vintage Resistol open road type. It may be a San Antonio but the dimensions seem a bit smaller (this one has a 2.5" brim [I think])

Wow, that is some stretch there pardner... looks like it came off without a hitch. Gorgeous hat. I am waiting for a vintage 7x clear beaver to arrive from a shop in Arizona... it will be my first firsthand look at one of these. Can't wait to wear it.
