Found this photo of Matt's 1930's Dobbs. That liner on the Capone hat doesn't match up with this hat anyway. I agree the supposed Capone hat's liner and bow look '60ish.

A two-for-one deal on NIB Bailey western hats. I know Bailey is a mass-market discount brand, but for the price I was willing to take the risk. The golden tan is 8X and the Brown is a 5X. If nothing else I can convert them to fedoras, but I’m hoping to add them to my growing western selection.

My wife hasn’t warmed to them. I keep thinking I just need to find the right western to convince her.

You wear them very well. A pair of jeans, a plaid shirt, some western boots and you're ready to go. I wear what I'm feeling. Sometimes western, mostly fedoras and suit jackets or leather coats and a couple Homburgs. Even in highschool I'd wear a tshirt and jeans one day and a suit and tie the next.

I too like to mix it up. Work often dictates my attire. The only styles that I haven’t gone for are the really wide brims (over 4.5 inches) and bowlers/derbys. Maybe next year?

If I could get hats to grow on me, I wouldn't have to scour eBay, Etsy, and vintage shops for them.

Maybe you’re not using the right fertilizer?

Lighting strikes twice! Just grabbed this Brent Black Montecristi for $99. That’s two Brent Black Montecristi fedoras in two months.

Are you kidding me!! I’ve never come across such a deal. I’d run out and buy a lottery ticket if I were you. What an incredible find.

Didn't think it would go for this much, honestly.

I just didn't have enough in my reserve to go deep on this one. It likely would have been my nicest, despite the need for a new sweatband.
Oh well, back to fishing for more hats.

I was watching that one too. It went a little high for my war chest also. I was thinking, Jim will want this one, I shouldn't run it up on him. So this ending price was not my fault
