Post New Hats Here!

I recently received a new hat from Hat Centre UK, a really nice heather gray stingy. The brim measures about 1 7/8". The workmanship is pretty darned good, especially considering the reasonable price. It's 100% fur felt. Here are a few pics, I've been trying out different feathers to find just the right one:

I just got this vintage Stetson Open Road (not marked OR) 3X, made for Shepler's - unknown vintage (1970s maybe?). Overall good condition (but headed out for a cleaning) and a great color.



More pics when it comes back home.

J1, I have to say... that hat has not enough brim nor crown for you.
For my part... I just do not like it on you.
Now having said that....

You know what I think about most of the other hats you wear.

Nice hat TPD... what size do you wear?

From some of your photos it looks as if your hats are a little small.
I say this from the way it looks from the brim to your ear.
Way to much space....

This one is actually on my printer - could that be it? Actually, I wear a 7-3/8 in most hats, occasionally a 7-1/2, but most are a little too loose. The ones I have seem to fit fine, and are comfortable - might be my poor camera phone photography skills?

If you are looking at my Avitar, I see what you mean. That particular hat is (was) a 7-1/4 that has been stretched to a 3/8, but it fits pretty well too. It might have been sitting a slight angle when I took that picture.

I appreciate your honest opinion, RBH! One of the great thing about the Lounge is being able to get and receive constructive critisism which is sincere and helpful.
I know the stingies don't look as good on me, but I still like to wear them from time to time. They're like a guilty pleasure that I can't give up!

Yes, I agree with that diagnosis.

I personally love the color of your stingy brim hat. I think if you did not have the red feather on it, that it would match in much more with the grey of your sport coat and pants.
