Hello all!
I recently received a NOS Adams Porkpie from Jhonnyphi. I love the look of a porkpie hat, but in this case I think that my face is a little too long to pull it off. My wife however has completely fallen in love with it and wants it for her very own. In order to keep domestic tranquility, we have decided to put it up to a vote. I ask you Gentlemen and Ladies to participate in the poll above give us your honest and cultured opinion, Who gets the Hat?

Hate to do this to you, Bill

It's a hit on the missus! Best, Sam

PS You might stand a better chance without the glasses. Why do I suddenly crave a Ballentine beer? (the older Easterners might get that one).

What they said.

I wish Mrs. Funneman would wear my hats. She look FANTASTIC in them.

Looks like she has you beat eight-to-one, give her the hat.

I'm sure you have plenty of others.

the call from one of the FL ladies here...

Hello, its Simon(e) Cowell here. I've seen plenty of hats on the guys here, I give this hat a 10, BUT in my very biased opinion (IMVBO)-- the missus gets the hat !

MahogonnyBill, I'd like to see you on a lovely panama or vintage stetson fedora. Keep the eyeglasses, they look very sharp on you, adding a nice sense of pizzazz to your look.

No hanging chads. No faulty ballot machines. No recount. And, as MS stated, "no contest".
Concede now.

Your wife looks absolutely adorable in that hat. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

The new question:

Did Bill vote for himself or did someone throw him the sympathy vote? :p

You have to "Balance" your decision

It boils down to two things, and you decide which is most important:

1. Balance. Your face (with beard) and body shape demand a wider (much) brim and a much taller crown. The hat should balance your general appearance. The hat shown looks (on you) like a little kids hat.

2. Wife. They win, they are happy. Nexus, you are happy. Long term happy marriage. No brainer.

If my wife showed even the slightest interest in hats, I give it to her. No matter what the hat was! And then I'd use that as an opportunity to buy another one just for me.

And btw, she looks good in that hat.
