Woo hoo $\:D/$

I got my first fedora today at my local dry goods store- it is a grey wool-felt dressy hat. Best part is it was only $15

It is similar to the gray hat Indy wears at the end of Raiders after he meets with the FBI...except for the bash. It looks very durable

. I will post some pics later

You can't beat 15 bucks for a hat! And it sounds like you're very happy with it, too! Please do share pics of you wearing it when you get a chance.

Ok sorry about the wait. Camera is messed up, but I did draw it

It looks pretty good, if I say so myself

You got a homburg! I always liked that style. I bet you wear it well.

Hey binkmeisterRick,

How's that Lovely Rita you work with?

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 9:30 pm

Quite lovely, indeed. She's got a sister or two, if you'd like me to hook you up.

Don't know if it's the angle or whatnot, but that homburg looks huge on you.

I don't know... I think of homburgs as the 'fancy dress hats' of the 'wild west'...

Quite lovely, indeed. She's got a sister or two, if you'd like me to hook you up.

Wonderful. I love to have my heart towed away by such woman. Does her sister look a little like a military man though?

I have reservation about such a women or two. You know, the kind that typically drink shots at The Ravenwood?

oh yea, the Avatar is a perfect fit for the posts. I always hear Don talking when you post a remark.

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 10:07 pm

I think it has to do with the angle at which the picture was taken.

RobbyT43 · Post by **RobbyT43** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 10:18 pm

Yes it is the angle...couldn't get a good full shot

It actually fits me pretty well

Here is a link to the dry good store that I bought my hat from...it doesn't list it, but I thought someone would like to poke around and see where I'm from

Robby,
I must say that your drawing was fairly accurate. You've got a good eye. I like the hat, too.

What's all this Rita talk

: I've obviously missed something.

Rita is a Beatle's reference.
