Very cool tuxedo hat. I wear my Bobby Blue with my tux often, as well as my black cherry from another hatter.
The Sahara and Mojave say "interstate" to me, too. The I-15?

Interesting new hats, hopefully having Art promoting hats with smaller brims will end some of the brim-size snobbery that goes on.
How about naming the hats for famous train lines?
The New Orleans Special
The California Limited
The California Zephyr
The Rock Island Rocket
The Orange Blossom Special
The Marrakesh Express
Etc.

Love these new ones. I have a Mojave in my sights already, and that ribbon treatment is giving me ideas for what it may become.
Beautiful hats, Art!

How about streets from out West? They don't have to be Western or OR-style hats as long as we stay away from obvious Western references like Montana or Arizona.
The Colfax (U.S. 40 in Denver)
The Central (Route 66 in Albuquerque)
The Edgewood or The Skyland or The Belcaro (neighborhoods in Denver)
Anyway, I like that "St. Charles," and the one just below it on page 1 with the 5.75" crown, labeled "Sunset."

Curious which hat you guys think is the most casual? With my next few hats I want something that can be worn with t-shirts and jeans, brim up. Like when I play music with my buddies I want something less formal. I really think a few of these hats fit the mold what is the consensus?

The ones with the 2" brims or in that neighborhood -- the Reggie J. Way, the University Ave., or the Kid Row.
The Kid Row (Oxblood) and the no-name Sahara on the 1st page are quite casual.
Generally speaking, raw brims and overwelts are the best candidates for casual hats; next would be underwelts in my book. Bound brims, not so much, as a rule of thumb.
Blocks that are at least just a bit tapered have often been associated with more country-esque hat designs.
The porkpie is in a class of its own, and definitely a casual design. An abomination to some, a witty invention of the English to others.
Of course it's the combination of all the elements, including color combinations.
For a T-shirt & jeans brim up look I would choose an unobtrusive and lighter (but not extremely light) felt color like Sahara, Natural, Pecan. Else Light Sage, Oxblood, Dark Moss, which would be more colorful choices.
I would avoid very dark and somber as well as very light colors.

I'm on it Leo, one of the next batch screams Beale. I have a few more to introduce that I think Madison, and Broadway would fit.
Thanks
HT , take a look at Rabbit's post. He is dead on.

Oxblood looks cool but it may be too flashy for me. Just don't know if I would feel comfortable wearing it.
