Thanks, fellows!

My NOS fuzzy Adam

Rainy season is officially here, hence the smile. I used to dread colder weather, but not with the new fedora fetish.

(I have an Apple computer, so the right-clicking process to make photos appear doesn't work. Maybe photobucket's "Forums" linking option won't either, but I'll try it.

How about that: another speedbump behind me on Technodolt Highway!

 

[RBH]

Ah, the week-end! An old and comfortable green tweed suit and my Campdraft; I'm starting to get used to its proportions.

As well you should!!!!
It looks great on you!

That is my kind of hat! I love the velour tyrolean-types. I've been looking for that color for a long time. I think the cream colored band is what really makes it stand out.

 

[RBH]

Nice one Randooch!!

Happy Halloween.....

Doing a little light yard work while enjoying my Mallory !

Jauntyone, you look like you are already feeling comfortable with the hat!

Bolthead, that additional eye must be useful! ;-)

Rusty, you look like you own the whole place!

My turn... I chose a Mallory porkpie/telescope, with back bow. It was rainy and it shows!

 

[RBH]

Thanks Torpedo, you need to try you one of these thin ribbons!!!
You might like it!
That one you have on looks great on you. You, like Bolt look very good in these style hats.

THANKS!
Yep Jim thats 'The Dallas'. Man this hat has some thin felt.

But one thing... the bow is stitched high on the side. Well above the brim break. Has anyone else noticed this?
Or is this only with my Mallory? [huh]

I hear ya. I think that the Mallory Pliafelt is really pretty extraordinary -- extremely dense, lightweight and smooth.

Cheers,

Great job of hat-wearin' by all!

Today was a double-hatter. Daytime saw one of my Stetson Medalist Eagles:

At night I switched over to a Brodt's Homburg which Bolthead sent to me in trade for one of my fedoras. Thanks Bolt!

Dobbs

Brown Dobbs, overwelt. The welt on this hat has been glued rather than stitched. It has been sanded and squared off to give a really neat appearance. It was perhaps a compromise between a regular stitched welt and a more expensive cavanagh edge. I think this is my favorite edge treatment, even more so than the cav edge. 1 7/8" brim.

Mine too. What is the make?

 

[RBH]

Today I am sporting my vintage Stetson Stratoliner.

You look great RBH! The white shirt is perfect with that jacket and hat. I love a nice whit shirt.
What's the brim width on your Stratoliner?

 

[bolthead]

Coolbeans....

Looks great on you Gene, better than it did on me. :eusa_doh: I''m glad everything worked out. :eusa_clap

Russ, that Strat looks great as well....:eusa_clap

 

[randooch]

Superb bunch of lids, indeed.

Jauntyone: something about that Dobbs goes great with that zippy tie.
Harp: darned nice styling on that Medalist, and the homburg paired up with those round specs is spot on!

RBH: For doing yardwork, that's a darned spiffy look! Good thing it's not a push-mower.
