Post New Hats Here!

[randooch]

Good evening everyone. I am new here, but I got a shiny new hat for X-mas this year and figured I'd post pictures of it. I put them in this handy google picture thing:

This is my first 'real' hat as my previous ones have all been cheap wool at best and cheaper paper most of the time. Hopefully I got a good one.

Nice fedora, there, Kiyoshigawa! You like the feathers?

Those are a couple of nice Knox Homburgs, you got there. Center creases on both of them, and add front pinches to one of them for variety, and there you go!

New Porkpie by the Custom Hatter - Gary White

I just picked up my latest custom porkpie, modeled after the hat worn by Gene Hackman in "The French Connection". It's known as a "four point porkpie", in black, with a black and gray vintage ribbon. It's made from black pure beaver felt... and I just LOVE it!! Way to go, Gary White -- made proudly here in BUFFALO Ny.

Not new, but the only fedora photo I had. This is a Stetson I've had for about 20 years or so. I have a brown Dobbs that's almost identical, but a little nice felt.

It came with a slightly modified "cattleman's", but I gave the crown a quick squash and a pinch to the front. Pretty happy, just this moment .

Nice one, Kiltie!

Newly stretched Stetson (how old I have no idea) converted to porkpie.

As you should be!!!
That is a great hat.
I love the 'causual' crease you gave it!!!

Haven't met you yet - welcome!

That's a great looking hat and outfit for sure. As much as I love Stetsons, I agree; my vintage Dobbs versions of their hats usually outshine them in quality of felt.

Great Homburgs Bingles.

UWS Cowboy's lookin' stylish too.

Ohmygosh you guys, these last two pages are astounding. Too many great hats to mention individually. Bravo and well done, gentlemen.
