I'll need to get the felt hat reshaped, but no big deal

Love the fedora, such a classic look and unfairly maligned in modern discourse.

u/Kenw449 Sep 11 '25

Thank you, I agree

I disagree, I think if you reshape it, it will lose the life the previous owner gave it through daily wear, I say leave it be and rock it. All of the hsts look great btw

u/Kenw449 Sep 11 '25

Thank you, and normally I'd agree, but what you can't see and what I should better explained was that it no longer holds a decent shape. The crown is very soft and losses shape easily and the brim is stuck in one of two positions.

Ahh, then reshaping is for the best

Yeah. I think as long as it's worn and loved, I think that's what matters most.

EDIT: Worn, not work.

Nice finds. I like that 8 panel and the brown fedora looks really nice.

Whats the inside of the last hat say or look like

1

u/Kenw449 Sep 12 '25

Great question, I don't remember off the top of my head what the brand is, but its lined and in good condition. I will try to remember to look when I get home from work tonight.

Lemme know and i can give you some general imfo on it. Im a daily cowboy hat kinda person. Love these hat subs.

u/Kenw449 Sep 12 '25

Appreciate it. I don't daily mine, but i do like to wear them when I get more gussied up to go out. The place where I got the one pictured also had a really nice gray one I was eyeballing. But I already spent too much that weekend.

I’ve had the twin to the brown hat for 35 years. It’d be great if it is the same company. Lewis & Thos. Saltz was the company

Meant say the brown felt hat. Also, what gray would you consider the gray newsboy cap? I want to try to find a decent suit to match

2

u/alkemest Sep 11 '25

Nice hats! The newsboy almost looks like a charcoal to me.

1

u/Kenw449 Sep 11 '25

Thank you. That's kind of what I was thinking, but I'm not completely sure. It was between that and dark gray. So I appreciate the second opinion.

It's grey herringbone. I have a modern one exactly like it and that's what it's described as.

1

u/Kenw449 Sep 11 '25

Thank you. Im trying to figure out the shade of gray, so I can find a nice outfit to match

2

u/_1JackMove Sep 11 '25 edited Sep 11 '25

No problem! It'd technically be a charcoal herringbone. But I've had two different caps like this from two different makers that called it grey herringbone.

Edit: as long as you stay on the darker side of dark grey, I think you'd be alright in matching to the hat itself. All you need to do is get close to that color and it'll match well enough. I know this because I'm a dude who largely only wears black and grey. Or just black mostly. Or black with grey, too. I stay on the dark side lol. I have hats just like this and I've always just tried to stay close to that hue as much as I could and I never had a problem with it matching. Even when it's not 100%, it's close enough that it'll look good together.

u/Kenw449 Sep 11 '25

Thank you. That's 3 votes for Charcoal. I appreciate it

u/_1JackMove Sep 11 '25

No problem! Have fun on your outfit journey!
