steve, i thought you were never going to do a non-indy fedora again, after all the troubles i gave you :) this first try looks a lot like the one you did for me except for the color and the weight of the felt. the one i called the "neonoir" "this gun for hire" or am i just getting senile...

i am old engouh. wasnt the whole saying: "duck and cover and kiss your ass goodbye" :kick: ? winky.

vic morrow lives i think combat was a very good series. gritty. complex. i watch it on cable. it is on the american life network channel. that used to be the nostalgia channel i think. i would really like to see victory at sea on tv. winky d.

manners I had a Professor of Romantic Poetry in undergraduate school who told me that manners were little courtesies. And while I may be radical in some things, I am a bit old fashioned about etiquette. With that in mind, and of course meaning no disrepect to other posters, here are some rules...

welcome to the grail quest. there is no bogey hat out there, only "bogie" hats.

the felt is soft but holds its shape well, the snap brim is nice. i was pleasantly surprised by the quality, considering the price. the sweat band isnt high quality. it came with a feather and a hat pin which i took off. the quality is similar to the biltmore hat i got at vhs...

hats are chick magnets. while not quite as good as a puppy, more often than not i get a nice smile when a woman sees me in my fedora. :fedora: "nice hat" is something i have heard too. but then i am cute. :cool2: and a married man. winky.

i think there may be an unintended drift into stereotypical thinking in this thread. it is mistaken to suggest that jewish people "all go for black" hats. for most jewish people neither religious beliefs or cultural traditions require the wearing of black hats. most jewish people who wear hats...

source for the orthodox black hats found the link for the store that sells the orthodox black fedora http://www.milechai.com/judaica/borsalino-black-hats.html they sell a 3" brim Borsalino and a 3' brim Huckel. i was thinking the huckel might be worth buying, any advice. winky
