New to the forums and Fedora's in general, got this Optimo classic fedora about a month ago.

Life's too short to live in Dallas!

Well its about -25 here right now....Nova Scotia is hatless and cold cold cold
I'm new to the website, and the sun finally came out enough for me to get some decent pictures of my two Stetson fedoras. I've been interested in 1920's-50's apparel for a very long time, but I've only recently begun hunting around for vintage clothing/accessories. I found these two fedoras on eBay, and I have been breaking them in as much as dress occasions allow me. One is a 2" brim Royal Stetson and the other a 2.25" brim Stetson Special. I hope to fill out a nice vintage wardrobe, or at least vintage-looking, in the near future. There are a lot of different brand hats that I'd love to have, but my features seem to require the lower-crown Stetsons; Dobbs, Knox, and Cavanagh fedoras seem to have too high a crownOh well, at least vintage Stetsons appear to work well.
Very nice indeed. I know how you feel about the Stetson profile. Re creasing will be a full time diversion before too long. I've found Knox, Dobbs and a few others that I can coax into the shape I want so don't despair or limit yourself.I'm new to the website, and the sun finally came out enough for me to get some decent pictures of my two Stetson fedoras.

...Where did you get that hat, where did you get that tile? Isn't it a nobby one and just the proper style! I should like to have one just the same as that. Whereever I go they'd shout "hello, where did you get that hat?..."

That brim is a bit narrower than I prefer, but I'm with Mario - that's a great looking hat! Nice color, etc. It just works! I'd even keep the feather...
Chinaski,that`s a handsome hat! What size is the brim?
Ok,I finally got some pics of me wearing the vintage 60`s stingy brim felt fedora(Resistol brand)that I recently purchased.I apologize for the quality of the pics but my daughter took these with her cellphone.

This hat is my first "real" fedora and also my first vintage hat.I think it was purchased and maybe only tried on for size then stored away in the box...I can`t believe how perfect this Resistol is!

Here`s a few more pics.
I love wearing this hat!
