:eeek: Oh man ... now I'm really bummed out!! :cry: I've been planning to get a custom "Cagney" (with Powell brim dimensions) from Matt, and had to postpone my order until December. Now?????

Wearing the Powell in 2 countries @ once!! Thought I'd share a photo taken earlier today (09/05) after a friends casual afternoon wedding at the Peace Arch State Park in Blaine Washington. I'm standing with one foot in Canada (to your viewing left) & the other in the USA (to your right). I...

Solid black?!? Matt, your killing me!!!

Thanks! There were a couple "false starts," but those were production issues (fur felts not up to Matt's standards for instance), so I had a little bit of a wait *but* it was worth it in the end. :D It'd probably be better to ask Matt what the current wait time is.

My Powell is a 7 1/2 long oval:

Looking good Jaunty 1 :eusa_clap I'm enjoying mine too! :D

My Uncle's early 50's H-D cap: Well, I've got booku homework to get done for tomorrow, so I'll look through my files in the next day or two for the "authentic" repro Brando cap that I saved about 5 or 6 years ago (& *maybe* I'll locate the manufactures name with them too). Earlier this...

I'll have to check my favorites when I get back home but there was a company a few years ago making exact replicas of the one Brando wore in the Wild One. There is also a company that specializes in original vintage m/c gear, including hats. Their name escapes me but I've done business with them...

Pendleton Wool Tweed Newsboy Here is my beloved and well worn 8-panel "Newsie" made from Pendleton wool / brown herringbone tweed (made for me by Hat People of Oregon). This photo was taken back in 2010 while relaxing between frames at my daughter's 11th birthday party at a local bowling alley. :)

*yucky* I believe it was Boardwalk Empire (...Matt?)

File this one under "1st Timers": So over the years I've gotten many comments about the various hats I wear (mostly positive), but never one like this. While I was out & about sporting my new "Powell," my wife & I stopped by the grocery store. As we entered an older woman passing by me said...
