Greetings all!

Yesterday was a good day. Not only did I go for a hot towel shave, but my wife surprised me with a new Herbert Johnson fedora.

It is the same model as my only other hat - a Gloucester - however this one has a lining. It is a size smaller (59 instead of 60), and such the brim isn't so wide. It is a nice, rich brown colour and has a slightly darker brown ribbon.

I guess she got tired of hearing me moan about how the grey fedora doesn't go with everything! :)

Anyway, here are a few quick pics I took today to show the two hats...

The grey one has no lining, as you can see, although it is the same model. There is also a loose thread that I have been meaning to cut! ;)

They will send you a liner for no charge just drop them a email. :)

There is something that still cool about seeing that Herbert Johnson liner. It is from my Indiana Jones days when everbody lusted an HJ....and there was something like a six month wait. Very few guys were willing to shell out the three c-notes for them either.

Wholesale for this hat is less than $90.00. Much better felt now!!
