Post New Hats Here!

Color was very hard to capture with my Canon point and shoot... it's a loden green with copper colored ribbon. Very clean example, soft felt of fair quality. An interesting comparison to my earlier ******* which, in it's modest unstructured style, is sublime. The later version is sublime minus, I would say.

Gorgeous *******, Alan!! My favorite thing about the hat is the liner. It looks like a stitched liner tip and Im a total sucker for those. Is it?

Thanks Josh... do you mean an embroidered logo on the liner? It is, yes. I hadn't noticed it at first, the crown protector is heavy and hard to see through. Looking at the odd color scheme last night I noticed it was embroidered and not printed. Posted a picture to the Stetson liner thread. I'd like to add my two *******s to the dedicated thread later today. It's in need of a bump.

Tropical Helmet from Cairo

Any pithy comments?

 

[alanfgag]

That's a corker!

 

[Feraud]

Very nice pith!

 

[zetwal]

That's quite a hat. As it happens, I saw a guy in a pith helmet walking only just this morning.

I have no words for this Borsalino Mascotte. It's just outstanding, immaculate...

 

[DJH]

Thank you Nazarin. I'm really enjoying this hat already!

This is my brand new CD in mid brown. I'm not wild about darker color hats but I really like this one. It was almost too easy to bash. The only thing I don't like is that Akubra's thin ribbon is 1/2" wide and not 3/8" so I have changed out the ribbon to a 3/8". The 1/2" ribbon just donesn't look right to me. Not thin enough to be a thin ribbon and not wide enough to be on the dressier side of the scale. The 1/2" ribbon and bow look almost cartoonish to me, but that's just me. I got this from Everything Australian after the obligatory 3 month wait. I'm thinking about springing for the new silver belly in Heritage grade but it is a little pricey when you figure in the shipping. I love these Camp Drafts.

Super hat, Alan. You look ready to hit the trail in that one!

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks Perry... I'm a NYC boy, animals larger than a big dog scare me. But I can do the outfits OK, especially when they feel as good as this hat.

 

[hatophile]

You got me fooled, Podner!

Alan;
That is one cool hat and you wear it well! Do you happen to have the middle name Wayne?

Had to add a few pics of this Borso., snagged out of the bay. Not sure of it's age, must be newer, but is this a soft furry hat, wow is this nice! I have never felt a hat this soft! It's incredible, and difficult to take off! So soft it won't hold a pinch crease.
It has that silver/sage green color that is so nice.

I love the color of that liner, Alan.

My Akubra Camp Draft I picked up here on the Lounge a couple of weeks ago from Dundee. I love it and I get tons of compliments on it.
