What a great combination! I love that No.1! The boots are beautiful, are those the hippos?

Thanks Steve. I don't have much in the way of new clothes, or hats for that matter.Great vintage menswear, Michael. Re-use is good use both for the environment and sartorial elegance [emoji4]

A bee in your bonnet? That's a fine looking hat.Wearing my Bee Hats Fedora this evening. There's something truly film noir about an American Fedora. $6.50 got you a lot of hat back in the day.

All great hats, but I'm very taken with the black/maroon homburg. That is fabulous.The rest of my week...

Have a good one,

I know it's blasphemous around here, but I'm going hatless today since it's a beautiful day in North Texas and I'm riding the bike. Gotta wear the helmet.....

Very funny, Mister Haywood. I suppose you may be forgiven...if your helmet is made by Stetson. [emoji51]
Nice bike!! You look righteous on it! Honda Fury is a sweet looking scoot! How do they ride?
I’m seriously in the market for a Yamaha Stratoliner. I guess I like the fedoras and the bikes.

I have this same GC 25. The felt is impressive. It’s my stingy Inspector Gadget hat.View attachment 193643 View attachment 193642 View attachment 193641
Today’s lid is my favorite slim brim. 1 7/8 wide. A Dobbs Twenty five. When stingies are this sweet, who couldn’t like them?
For my liking, a narrow brim is fine as long as the crown is tallish, with zero to very little taper. The only good taper is reverse taper. [emoji3]
However, I’m not against anyone’s taste in a fedora of ANY type. Fedoras rule!

If I may suggest. Decal film from a hobby shop printed with a Stetson logo/name will solve the bubble cover dilemma.Lol, I haven’t seen a Stetson helmet yet.
I do have some packable BC leather hats that I throw in the bags when I’m riding, but haven’t wanted to chance it with a nice felt yet. I guess I need to find a good beater, I do have my eye on one on Goodwill.....
Fury rides like a dream for me, but I’ve always liked the Chopper style, lean and mean. I’m sure not as comfortable on long trips as a touring bike, but I’ve never been a bagger kind of guy. Love to take the twisties fast !!
Thanks Hagwood. Stingy Dobbs do seem to be more common. I think this one and the Hanover Square are the only ones I've found that are over 2".Love that hat !
I can't seem to find a vintage Dobbs that's not a stingy brim......
