Thanks, but I would have to order online, yes? I need the hat by Wednesday is the problem.

Great, thanks man.

I need a hat for the racetrack (you may have seen my prior thread) but don't know where to go. I am in the South Bay, closer the better, although I doubt there's one around here. I am looking to spend less than $100. Thanks!

Okay, CHANGE OF PLANS. Thanks to the Fed Lounge, I am no longer pigeon-holed into finding a turquoise hat. Also, it doesn't have to be a Fedora. The turquoise and yellow colors are still the theme here, but I think now a hat with either color in the band might look a lot better. I am...

Okay, I found the look I am now goin' for! Here is a great, old picture of Bing Crosby and Pat O-Brien, the founders. It's their friend on their right (left on your computer screen) whose look I want to emulate. LINK. Looks like a white single-button blazer, with some white wingtips. I...

Totally agree about going too far, I think a white blazer is what I'll do now, and build around that. And I can use the coat for other occasions as well, hopefully. How would you build around that? Yellow shirt, or blue? Pant color? And any idea where I could order online? That way I...

Thanks. Good solution. Fast and cheap. However, I am with the rest of you in thinking let's not go too over-the-top. This will be my fall-back.

Thanks, did a little research on this and I just don't have time for it. I won't be around long enough to get it all done (leave LA tonight for 2 weeks). Also, I just got off the phone with "Mr. Lee", a custom tailor whose name kept coming up in my search, and he wanted over a grand. This...

Fair enough, rmr, that's why they (me) call me "Rookie", haha. I know it's over the top -- that's kind of the point of all this. I want people to get a kick out of it more than anything. It's all in fun. I realize this isn't the place for a Halloween costume, but I figured I could get...

Rick Blaine, thanks, nice hat! You weren't kidding about that website. God forbid they let you find a hat you want...or a checkout button for that matter. It's like they don't want to take the chance of selling something, haha, must really like their hats! It does bring up a good point...

Tone, thank you, you're educating me by the minute. You are correct in your thinking that the hat is not one I will wear daily. I do however, plan to wear it every year for my/our pilgrimage to the track. Sizing---> Not sure, but I'm about a 7 1/4 in a baseball cap, if that helps. I...

EDITED. Still going for the color scheme in the first link, but now instead looking at all types of hats. If you could point to some websites I could peruse, that would be great, thanks! LINK--->Wouldn't mind one with a yellow band (is that what you call it?), either...like THIS. I'm...

Hi, I am spending a week at Del Mar racetrack soon and would like to do so in style. The look I'm going for is pretty specific and I am having no luck in finding it. Here is the Del Mar website. Their color scheme is what I am after. I went as far as Hong Kong to find those colors, to no...
