My first hat!!!!!! (With the Real Pictures!)

Post by RobbyT43 »

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 :shock: 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 :D . I will post some pics later :tup:

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. :wink:

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'... ;)

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

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

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

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

Robby,
I must say that your drawing was fairly accurate. You've got a good eye. I like the hat, too. :tup:
What's all this Rita talk :?: I've obviously missed something. :?
