Suits 'U', Sir !

I like comments like that, because they identify the dumbbells and the actively boring, who I generally try to avoid. Like the guy that yelled out 'Where's your horse' across the street to me from the bar terrace he was sitting at, no doubt convinced it was the most original and hilarious...

Looks fabulous, really suits you.

Great price, but a half size too big for me as well.

I'm the farthest the ng from an expert and have little knowledge about vintage hats that wasn't gleaned from this site, apart from my own experiences with the few hats I've handled and owned. But I would like to take an educated guess as to the early Stetson quality levels (as copied in a...

I can't believe this hat hasn't found a head yet, it's a lovely OR clone and compares favourably to anything new out there anywhere near the price range, and to vintage examples being sold these days. It looks great, is comfortable, and easily shaped dry or set with steam, and looks great...

That's a beautiful hat, I love the colour, it has the depth of colour and quality of reflecting light and shadings that only good felts that are finely finished seem to have.

My very limited experience with my 2 Alessandrias, both probably from the 60s, is that they both for true to size. Due the flexible nature of both hats they both instantly adjusted to my long oval head. Another point that is often neglected here is with softer hats like these, and vintage...

That’s not what it means, it has nothing to do with pesticides or anything that’s sprayed on to produce, or applied to them by any means. Perhaps you might want to look the term up so you can use it correctly in the future (nothing personal, it’s just a highly misunderstood subject! ).

GMO fruit is not by its nature any better or worse quality than non GMO. There are no poisons or toxins present due to them being GMO or not. Schott is an excellent company that uses high quality leathers, with various types, finishes, and thicknesses used. You seem to be generalising based on...

I'm with you on this one, I went with a high contrast gold one on my Sombrero but that's a flash hat and I wanted it to pop. I'm going to look around and see what I can find, not sure if slightly lighter or darker will look better. It's nt a very easy colour to match properly, might take some...

I think the beaded band is original, it's not bad looking, but not really my thing. Very '70's vibe, I have memories of slightly sketchy dudes wearing hats like this, LOL

I've been keeping my eye out for Churchill Ltd. hat since quite a long time, encouraged by the good reviews in this very helpful thread and elsewhere.. I found a nice near mint camel coloured one recently (officially Clay) that I really liked, my really low offer was accepted, and received it...

What size are you looking for? I have a superb Dunlap vintage OR clone FS in light tan, size 56, if you’re interested.

I really like that bash for the OR, I keep going back and forth with my very similar Borsalino Alessandria. I'm going to try a similar one!
