Because he doesn't want to be called Indiana Jones?

But what about wide brim black?

I was resisting brown myself until Gary White told me he still had 2 vintage brown bodies with cavanagh edges, I had him make both of them since they were different dimensions and different shades. Now those 2 are my most favorite hats. He has one body left in steel gray in my size, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger since it only has a 2" brim. I'm not ruling it out forever yet, impulse can always get the better of me.

Just curious, why not?

I really don't want to look like I'm wearing a "Costume" or Uniform(unless that is the goal for a particular event). It does depend upon the whole ensemble and the state of my facial hair at the time too.
As mentioned, brown of a certain style has the IJ association. Black wide brim, depending upon the particulars, may look like a Western Villain or Orthodox Jew, appropriate for some at certain events or locations but not a look I'm generally after.

Thanks, Randall. So far 3 "that hat is crazy!" which, judging by the expression of the three folks (two of them hatted themselves) I took as a compliment :D

Green Dobbs Rainbow today.

Great hats, gents. Ale I really like the color and props on that W and W. What style is it?

Thanks, Perry. The W&W is their "Venezia" Style in champagne color.
What's the liner like in your Dobbs?

PS

Why is Zetwal freaking you out?[huh] I feel I missed something.
