Oh, sorry, that's Mallory at fifteen, not a hat.

Not to worry, it's an easy mistake to make.

Tina was 14 when we first met, she's 15 in this photo. We were dance partners for three years before I had the courage to date her. She's some catch eh?

Dobbs Fifteen - Taupe
5 1/2 Open Crown - about 5 inch as Shaped
1 1/8 Antiqued Pewter Grosgrain Ribbon
2 1/2 Brim with Dobbs Edge
Leisure Flex Sweatband

Identical in specs to yesterday’s Dobbs Fifteen except for color…. This one I believe you’d call Taupe… sort of a color shifter depending on light. Shows anywhere from a brownish grey… to a dark tan or light brown… in direct sun it even starts to show green. I don’t think it’s so much Loden… but in that vein… Loden/Taupe?. The mid ribbon appears antiqued pewter and just as yesterday’s I suspect it may have been swapped out as the ribbon tacking goes right through the manufacturing tag. I decided to widen out the crease a bit on this one. It also has the Dobbs Edge and like yesterday’s was purchased from Higbees in Cleveland… making it part of my A Christmas Story Collection.

Thanks Phil!


Definitely looks to be the same era as mine. I also very much like the darker felt/lighter ribbon configuration you’ve got.

Thanks Nathan! You wear it better.

Love that one, Bob.

Thanks Joe! You’re rocking that Fifteen (and the dozen other hats you’ve received of late).

Tell you what Randy, Stefan @steur could run Joe a close second.
It’s not a competition…though I do often feel like I’m losing!
With the lounge going so slow, and my focus being on the rugby World Cup, I found myself several pages behind on this thread. I’ve caught up now, and man, there have been some stunners of late.
Here are a few I’ve been wearing in the last few days…
A silverbelly Campdraft for a visit to the fish market.

A Lagomarsino nutria for work…

A navy Borsalino, also for work…

Today I wore my Fed IV to work, but didn’t get a photo, so here it is in my relaxing-at-home clothes.

Oh, and I also put the rubbish out the other night wearing my PJs and my Resistol Roper. The place where we have to put the rubbish out is a two to three minute walk each way from my house. I don’t think anyone saw me.

Now you're talkin'. That Resistol actually looks natural on you. I think I like that Western on you better than the hats your other pics. Westerns seem to suit you well. You need more of them. You're a natural for the Westerns! You've got that bad guy cool factor going on! (Pictured: Scott Glen, "Urban Cowboy").

Thanks, Terry. I wear the stingy hats to work for the most part because they fit under the seat of my 50cc scooter that I usually go to work on. Today, the forecast was for rain so I took the car, hence the bigger brim.
As for westerns, I have the Resistol and a western weight Hornskov, but the Resistol is the only full on western style. My wife says it suits me, but that she doesn’t want to be seen with me when I wear it!
Two of my favourite hat photos are of me in the Resistol…

I always figure my neighbors get a laugh.. here he comes putting out the trash or getting the mail with his hat and shorts/pjs/sweats. LOL

Your wife is right about one thing, that Western definitely suits you, same as I said. BTW, what's the brim width on your Resistol?
