Beautiful, H. Just beautiful.

I wonder if I could get a look like that from a Carbon Federation.

Absolutely.

No problem.

In fact the Citation was my first vintage hat.

Just experiment.

Word to the wise - don't go at the brim too much on a Fed else it'll turn floppy which is a pain as it will flap about in a strong wind. But beat the crown up! I litterally pummelled my Fed to bits - I mean I repeatedly punche it to soften it up. It really worked.

That Open Road is sweet, but I absolutley love the first Stetson.
Brings me to mind of the bash on my TVA.

I love these Diamond crowns . . .

So much so, in fact, that I reblocked one of my favorites hats . . .
It is a late 40's Stetson Soveriegn . . . very much in the OR style, but not an OR.

So tell me what you think . . .

THE DIAMOND AUTHORITY?

< SATIRE >

You called?

The Diamond Authority reminds you that they do not deal in hats, only in diamonds, and don't wear the hats in a diamond bash, also. Also also, they remind you that this turned-down-brim-and-colors-other-than-black thing is an abomination unto the G-Man, with whom you must walk humbly and not like some cowboy from Indiana with a big whip.

Fletch, I like those guys! Some of them are bound to be wearing HUCKEL'S.

Is that a baby in a hat in the background?

Your sig quote

< fftopic: >

You may have heard that Orwell is a misattribution and that Churchill really said it. Turns out Churchill didn't say it either. No one seems to own up.

I'm guessing it was an American. It's a very American thing to think that a good society can only exist if it has people willing to be no better than the worst out there.

Diamonds are a lid's best friend.


Here's mine: an early '40s Stetson Eagle. The most "Bogart-esque" fedora I own.

Came with a bash that's a cross between a diamond and a teardrop -- and will stay that way.

Well, I now have a diamond bash as of yesterday. It is an Art original called the LaSalle. I can only show pics if I email them to someone and they post it for me. I didn't know the hat was coming with that bash and I generally prefer the center bash but I really like this one. I believe it is because the crown is high enough.
