I have found very little about Walton hats online. Anyone know about the company? The felt is nice but the sweatband is thin and delicate.

Today is my VS "DA" for the first day on the job as the elected District Attorney.

Bowlerman, great pics of a nice night! Really dig the black cherry color!
Alucard73, great to see people in the judicial system have such great taste! I'd hate to be a crook and see a guy with an imposing hat like that come in to court trying to convict me. Might as well make reservations for one in the big house now
Great lids boys. Keep 'em coming

 

[Rogera]

Sharp, sharp, sharp Alucard73! That hat and suit just reeks dignity! Congratulations

Jeff, my friend, many thanks for your comment! I can see your last night was fantastic!
The Black Cherry a real eye catcher!

D-Guy, very impressive and spiritual photo! Sharp VS!

Alucard, fan tas tic! Congratulation to Job, hat and suit!

Happy New Year, guys!

That's a really good looking light-colored hat, even if you are the DA.

D'Guy - fantastic New Year photo!

Jeff - Nice photos, love the BC. I hope the moonshine didn't make you suffer this morning.

Hey DA - the colour combo, crease and the swoopy brim on your VS are just perfect.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

This OR Royal Deluxe looked better in the photo, and will probably become my hat of the day. Preparations including a jar of Ole Smoky Apple Pie moonshine and a Nicaraguan maduro.

Jeff you inspired me to take a photo. Maybe you should start a thread
Fedoras with Moonshine!

Here is my hat for the day with a jar of Popcorn Suttons best White Whiskey and a Don Lucas cigar.

Nice. When I get one of these jars it always seems to have jelly in it. BTW, I admired that lightweight from the other day... sharp hat, Rusty.

 

[alanfgag]

Alan, wow, great photo. That ribbon and hat are a very sharp looking combination! Made with photoshop?

Thanks Manfred... yes, I used the snow removal filter. That photo from the other day was the moon recorded with my iPhone. All the best! Alan

 

[RBH]

Your just gettin' the wrong jars Alan...

Thanks for the kind words about my MooreLite!!

Picture from our traditional New Year dinner of lobster and homemade pasta. The four pounder's claw was the toughest nut I've had to crack. Took a large wooden mallet and the front sidewalk to get it open.

The best is having our girls home together. Now everyone is camped out watching Northwestern in the Gator Bowl. cheers!!

Very nice hats again!!!

Yesterday, I was wearing the Homburg, but swapped it when I changed my outfit for my '20s Stetson No. 1 Quality.

And for fun, my girlfriend wanted a photo of her in my Homburg

 

[LoveMyHats2]

It is cold out thar! So cold, it is not fit fer man nor beast! So, I decided to toss some winter garb on, I am wearing my latest modified hat, it was a vintage stage coach, but I gave it a new name....747.....

And one more thread. I had to re edit the photo tags, but I was happy the photos still showed up.

You sure make it look easy to put your crease in that hat!

 

[RBH]

Thanks LMH2...but it is really easy to crease a hat.
What you need to do is get and old beater hat...punch out the crown and have at it.
Do it over and over till you get it down.
Simple as that!!!

Same jacket as in the first pic, reversed as a smoking jacket.

Hiya Bowlerman

Thanks for the compliments on the hat, I like it a lot. Seriously useful Western hat, with a slightly twisted look just like the Doc himself. I've been wearing it a LOT lately since the weather turned cold.

O.K. I know several people from South Dakota and I gotta tell ya, I don't think they wear smoking jackets or drink from martini glasses. On the other hand, they wouldn't say anything either. So how's that Moonshine? They sell it at my regular liquor store, which is the size of a department store in Norman OK. I've considered the stuff with the cherries in it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL

I know I do just a center crease not very deep and a touch of front pinch on my hats, but what you do is nicer and you do it fast like slipping a "C" note to the waiter!

GREAT hats yesterday, folks!

MANFRED, absolutely spectacular lid!

gtdean, magnificent moonstone!

David, it doesn't get any better than that, buddy!

Alex, I'll second the other favorable comments. Don't let that one go-- really looks great!

1961MJS, comments out in the town or not, that is a thing of true beauty!

Memphis Lawyer, I agree with the others. A perfect match for you! Less symmetrical proportions would likely be even more conspicuous.

Perry, excellent choice!

Eric, that is one of my favorites of yours. Never get tired of seeing it-- what a beautiful color scheme, and super classy-- in fact, top of the class!

I closed the old year with a signature hat of mine: Falcon Park Black Cherry.

Here follows a short montage of my evening...

This OR Royal Deluxe looked better in the photo, and will probably become my hat of the day. Preparations including a jar of Ole Smoky Apple Pie moonshine and a Nicaraguan maduro.

Then I boiled up some snow crab for a rare occasion with my wife and kids sitting at the table all at the same time (my daughter's Orbeez centerpiece )

Same jacket as in the first pic, reversed as a smoking jacket.

My "Pieta" with smoking jacket button and black cherry background:

Happy New Year! May this one be better than the last.

I have to agree, everyone has some terrific looking hats, including yours! Thanks so very much for sharing so many pictures and giving a "peek" of life at your home as you have actually all done this past year...Bless us all this New Year!
