Wow. If you come up with some pics, post them for sure!
Right on!! Without pictures, it didn't happen.... ( alright, maybe it did!)

David, is that Silverbelly? What color is the ribbon & binding? Maybe it's because of the red brick behind you but that is the best photo representation of what Silverbelly should be that I have seen me thinks.
Thanks David! That certainly explains why it looks more like the old Silverbelly on my monitor; not too white but not too beige either. You have a nice looking hat & I really like the color!Hi HJ. I'd say the Courtney is more of a cream colour than Silverbelly, it's certainly a warmer tone than any of the "Silverbelly" hats that I have.
I would like to canvass the opinions of my fellow hat-wearers....
I prefer a stiffer hat, which is why I like bowlers and boaters. I wanted a stiff hat with a broad brim, but I couldn't find one at a reasonable price. Then I thought to look on eBay and found Pennsylvania Amish straw hats. Since I wear a beard without a mustache, it looked too Amish on me.
Incidentally, my brother thinks this is hilarious. When I wore my black porkpie hat to a Christmas family gathering:
I told him not to quit his day job....
- He kept calling me "Brother Yoder"
- He would ask me to pass something at the dinner table, then say, "Thank thee"
- He asked me if I had to go home to milk the cows.
Anyway, I bought a hat band for it, and it was narrower than I wanted it. I put it on anyway and took a selfie (unfortunately very low-resolution). So...your opinions please. If it looks ridiculous, please do not hesitate to say so.
NOTE: Photo taken using a mirror, so I know the band ornamentation appears on the wrong side.
