Non-Indy grey travel fedora

I figured I'd share a few pics of my grey fedora. I wanted something to go with a lot of my black suits and/or black overcoat, so grey was the option (brown can't be worn with the black, or at least shouldn't be!)

I didn't want an obvious Indy lid, and wasn't going to put out a lot of money since it would see daily activity, including horrendous Canadian winter conditions.

I picked this one up locally, at one the very few shops that still even sell men's hats anymore.

It's features include: centre-dent, bound edge, snap brim, black ribbon, no liner, 2 1/2" brim, 5 1/4 inch crown, wide bash, and the crown is quite stiff so it keeps its shape nicely (although there IS taper). It is darker than in the pics cuz I had to use a flash in my kitchen last night. I am quite pleased with it,and wear it daily.

Nice hat! Nothing wrong with a little taper if you're not looking for a SA Indy lid. As a matter of fact, I own a couple of safari hats and the taper looks good on them.

Ya right! Like where? I haven't found such an animal in the Ottawa area. If you have please pm me. The closest I've found is Henri Henri in Montreal.
