Gotta agree with Mario -- that's a really nice lookin' lid!

I wore this hat yesterday, a Dobbs 20. Nice hat with really nice felt, but the brim is a bit wider than I usually like. Still it's the first overwelt I've snagged for my family.

What is that, BobC? a 2.75 brim?

What is that, BobC? a 2.75 brim?

Yep. 2 3/4. I guess I've tended to do things in the reverse from a lot of people. When I first started to fall prey to fancying fedoras I bought wider brims and then moved to narrower ones. These days I much prefer 2 1/2 or 2 3/8 to 2 3/4, but this Dobbs is a very nice hat and was in great shape so I jumped on it. It is the only Dobbs I have and the only overwelt.

Great lookin' lid, BobC! Those Dobbs 20's are really nice.

I'm in your will..... right?

BobC, I think that most of us find that (in most cases) 2.75 is too wide. And I'm not at all surprised that to hear that you have come to the same conclusion.

By the way, here's the brim width Poll. New members, be sure to participate in the survey.

Went to Delmonico's Hatters (only 5 miles from my house) yesterday to drop off a hat to be reblocked and well I can't leave without a new hat. This one was on the clearance rack. Since I am a Bagpiper I can't pass up anything plaid. They validate parking so it only really cost me $20.00. The Stick Pin is for the Pipe Band that I am Pipe Major of.

It is so tacky that it is great

Mystery vintage Resistol (possibly a San Antonio) today...trying to work up a Hollywood brim, still needs a bit more "swoop" I think....
