Great lines Brent, good to see a real one. Early 1960s?


You can always just go and stand in the freezer section of the market, nice and cool there. Great Fifty!

Thanks Mike. I have no idea how to date this hat. I’m not a big pork pie fan, but this diminutive straw is very wearable and can even be worn while I’m driving.

I sure like that felt. Vintage hats came in so many nuanced shades that just aren’t available anymore.

Thanks. I don't really have a name for it. The top is a diamond, the top front is tight, and the sides have more severe than usual diagonal creases.

All of this only works well, imho, on a fedora with a fairly full crown.

Now I am debating with myself whether or not to trim the dimensional brim down to 2 1/2 inches all around. I don't like doing non-reversible things when I'm not 100% sure.
I wouldn't change a thing.

It's only a Pork Pie if you wear it with the brim up all the way 'round. With the front of the brim snapped down it's a Trilby with a Telescope crease. :D

Another victim falls prey to the semantics police :)

I do agree that a pork pie needs to be worn with the brim up; it’s a hard look for me to pull off. I’ve passed on some pristine vintage porkers.

Glad I had a head covering after all, since it got much colder and rainy! We visited South Dakota state University. Hopefully it will be a good start for her.

Land Grant institution, I approve. Looked up the history and their first building pre-dates my college's by a few years. SDU was founded in 1881, Oregon State in 1868. I'm just that kind of geek to look it up.

Straw day. Stetson style.

Too hot for felt so I guess it’s time to break my out a few straws. Interestingly, I get more looks (and even a few more compliments) wearing this hat than any felt recently. Not entirely sure why, but whateva...

Dig the two tone and ribbon treatment.

Another stunner Harv. Love the color.
