Show us your Stingy Brims

Taking advantage of Hats Direct's current "free shipping worldwide" offer, my choice was an Akubra Hampton in Cedar Brown:

I was hoping the crown would be a little taller than it appeared to be in photos but, as I expected, I had to re-crease the crown because the Hampton comes from Akubra with a Center Dent and even on hats with taller crowns like my Fed IVs and Campdrafts I can't wear a Center Dent because my head pushes it out. So I kept it simple and gave my new Hampton a Teardrop Crease and tightened the pinch a little:

The crown was surprisingly soft and malleable, especially for an Akubra; they must have forgotten to use stiffener on this one. But the brim snaps easily in front and holds it's shape, so... *shrug* Not a bad little hat.

Just realized I have not posted a stingy brim here. Being Octoberfest season it fits the theme. Resistol / Byer Rolnick

I gotta get me a dark green fedora!

Black shirt, bright sunny day, and 1 3/4 brim black Champ short hair. This little one is another of those hats that are just fun to wear!

It’s been a while since I’ve added a stingy brim to my collection. This green Knox with Custom aka Cavanagh edge caught my eye. It was open crown and listed as a bowler...which means I got it cheap
5 5/8” open crown and 1 7/8” brim. One of the very few hats I’ve left the feather in.

Thanks fellas. It’s not an everyday look for me, but I do like variety.

I know you're usually not crazy about narrow brims, but this one looks damn good on you and...well, it just checks all of the boxes. That jacket and the Browline shades are the perfect finishing touches! Nicely done!
