Classy, Mr. Walls!

Late '30s-ish Lee

You look sharp in anything but that is a super look and angle in that Lee. You and Gene make the casual look easy in a fedora.

Penney's Marathon.
Near perfect dimensions for me. Brim- 2 1/8", Crown approx. 4 1/2 or so.. and 1" ribbon.

Mine too! Its a great great style that you carry so well in a casual venue. :eusa_clap

Hey, thanks Mr. Paladin. Your pics were my inspiration to get that Homburg.

Posted this in a Fed IV thread, but thought I'd post here too. Received an email from Hats Direct on 01 OCT that states:

""heads Up" on a small order of Federation Deluxe IV in Black that will be arriving in about 4 weeks".​

I thought I'd better get around to posting my black hats here. I have two. The first I call Major Mike Moore's The Black. When it's on my head I'm dressed up. This is the one that caused me to call Mike in the first place. It's the one that changed my mind about black hats. I thought black felt would be a headache, collecting all sorts of lint. Truth is, it does, but when it's all brushed up it sure looks good to me.

My second black hat is a Whippet. I'd never seen a black Whippet before, but I have noticed a few since. This one came to me from the bay, clean as a pin.

Boy, I am so glad I started this thread. I am seeing some great black lids on here. I mean, some I know well already, but there are quite a few that I haven't seen until now. :eusa_clap

Late 30s Borsalino

That is such a great hat. Black hats seem so perfect for the winter - it's too bad that so few like yours survived.

 

[High Pockets]

Little black Stetson I picked up a few weeks ago on the bay, the first vintage hat I ever bought that I can wear right out of the box, just needed a little brushing!

Borsalino Rapallo

And here's a nice Rapallo that's so danged thin I have to be careful just puttin it on,.....it's almost too thin.
