Took my new Buckaroo Hatters hat out for the full wearing, not the test drive I did after I got it yesterday:

photo1-4_zps85d4439d.jpg


I sent that pic to my wife. She said too tall. Heck, it is only a 1/2 inch taller than the Stetson but I guess it just seems taller. Well, I like it. Rocky and Mike would have told me if it was a wrong fit for me, I grew to trust them. Mike has his own preferences, but he won't sell you, he will just answer questions and I liked that.

Anyway, what I have on is the reason I picked the silverbelly. I dont wear coats much in winter because I hate trying to keep up with them. And if you go from car to mall, I wanna ditch the coat. Would rather layer with a sweater. I could have gotten the steel color, and maybe dove or silvermist, but I think this will be so versatile. Looked pretty good with the grey striped suit I wore to Mike's yesterday. I was telling Rusty that I had thought about a ribbon edge and the ribbon being more to the grey side and almost matching the color of the hat, but the more I think about it, it would not have been much contrast and well, khaki works with everything I figure. I wear khakis a lot and every shirt seems to go with it, so why not have a khaki ribbon. Anyway, I am pumped and proud to post this first what-hat-are-you wearing photo. I love Eric's, Alan's, J Lee's, hatophiles, Bowlerman's, David's Deputy Swoops and the other pics.

Not to be disagreeable with anybody's wife.....your hat is not too tall based on the photo & your facial shape. There is symmetry between the crown above the brim line & your jaw line below. Any shorter crowned hat would be off balance. The pinch works with your nose & chin as well.Mike & Rocky know their business...

A smaller ribbon will make a crown appear taller. Give it time and she'll probably get used to seeing you wear a hat of those proportions.

This pic might appear too large on my first try. Anyway, I spiffed up a tad today and chose my only true dress fedora as of yet, the Buckaroo Hatters Moorelite in Silverbelly.

*Edit*: Yeah, I can't seem to get the photos to shrink. Photobucket's been getting on my last nerve. Nothing has been working right since their latest update.

Thank you Mike :). After failing to part with it on several occasions, it has since become a favorite in my line-up. Thank you for introducing us lol.

It's special, for sure. Incredibly soft and light, you barely notice it's there. Which, I discovered, is not good on a windy day lol. I may have to send it off for a cleaning soon.

I am more or less stuck in the "still drinking coffee mode" and have not replaced my pajama's with any other form of attire.....thus the only hat I may wear today, is still sleeping in the closet shelf......

Some very nice has today!

I am wearing my 30's/40's Campbell Homburg. I don't have a camera right now, but maybe can post a photo a bit later, when my girlfriend comes over with her fancy phone.
