Old Time Adventurebilt

Post by beaverlid »

This is a picture my wife would call a stolen moment. I look like my grandfather sitting on his porch in his fedora. The black and white adds a nice look to the 1 year brown AB on my head.

Thanks Fedora for selling me a hat that lives up to its name.

That is a really great, natural looking shot! It really brings out the texture of the felt as well! :clap:

I thought I might post a picture of the same day so the color of the fedora can be seen.

And thank you my friend for buying one! I have found this beaver felt only gets better with age, so the older it gets, the more mellow the felt will be. Loved the pics too! Thanks. Fedora

Dig on the color of the hat in the second pic. Looks great. Well done to Steve. :clap: Can't wait to see what this lid looks like in another couple of years.

Cheers!

I have dozens of other hats, and Steve's AB is hands down the nicest, and looks and feels as classic as any vintage hat. Thats a great photo, one worthy of a frame. :TOH:
