Show us your Stingy Brims

My last stingy purchase was a 2 for 1 deal. This is the second: iron grey Cavanagh with the same dimensions as the brown listed earlier today:

As suggested, worn further back and with a bit of an angle. Still not sold on it.

That's a shame, 'cause I thought it proved Mr. Sinatra right--a great casual, more relaxed look. But I understand it, and we all have to feel comfortable in the hats we wear.

Well Brent, I think both of those stingys (sp?) look great on you.
Just one man’s humble opinion.

Thanks, Rick. You seem to be one of those guys who can wear a lot of styles and look great. I think I’ll keep them and hopefully I’ll lose some weight and maybe like how they look on me then.

Wow, that is a stingy brim. What does that brim measure? You wear it well!

Thank you! Yep, super stingy for sure, it's only 1 1/4".

You wear it well…I guess a fez is the next step!

Great quality hat, but I’m just not sure that I can get comfortable under such a small brim.

I get you....I DO wear stingy brims..(though none under 2") BUT exclusively with a suit. Tends to look more tailored and put together than a wide brim to my eye (with a suit).....................

Made me instantly think of Syndy Greenstreet....he could wear a Fez with style!

I too think the smaller brims pair well with suits, or at least an odd jacket and tie. They can look very smart. For me, this extends to brims as wide as 2 1/2 inches…they look better dressed up. However, some stingy brims have an informal/casual vibe and I’ll wear them with jeans and a button down. I think 2 1/4” is my stingy brim limit, but I also think smaller brims look great on others. I think these two beautiful Cavanagh stingy brims will be moving on.

I know you're still trying to get used to the stingy-brim look, but I think that hat has a great relaxed/casual look on you brim up or down. Actually, I like it a little better brim up.

Thanks, Al. I’ve been wearing stingy brims for a few years (I started this thread January 2018, and I had them before that), and I’ll always have some in my collection. For me, it’s not getting used to them as much as it is thinking hats with larger dimensions just look better on me.

Started the day with some Ska stuck in my head to decided to rock the rude boy look. By the end of the work day I felt more Walter White.

I've posted these "new to me" hats already in other threads, but what the hell. I'll start with the used one: Bailey Hats' "Mannes" in "brown multi":

100% Polypropylene. Only after I had it in-hand did I realize the colors were a fairly decent match to that Hawaiian shirt. I think the brim still needs a little work...

Up next, my actually new new hat, another Bailey. This time it's their "Billy" model in basic black:

Toyo braid (55% Polyester, 45% paper straw), surprisingly soft and comfortable. Despite it's narrow brim, I think it'll get a lot of head time this summer, and it might become my new favorite.
