You can get an idea from their dress felt page. As far as an actual picture goes though, here are pictures of mine:



I've since taken it back to have it shaped a bit more and make the snap more pronounced. Like I said, they're amazing hats. One of the cool things as well was that because the shop has been around (and in that spot for so long) their ribbon choices are absolutely exquisite. Mine are antique hatters ribbons that were made back close to when the store first started. They were the right color for what I was looking for, and I love the uniqueness factor. They're also not kidding when they say they can match any idea you've got. For mine, I brought in the suit that I was getting married in, and specifically was looking for the band and edge to match the tie.

Interesting! Though not really my style... Do you have pics (I'm sure you do) of the whole wedding outfit? I'm interested in seeing how it came together. Thanks!

I do, in fact, have alot of them, and seeing as how it's already online... That one is probably the best of the bunch for showing off the ensemble.

Nice! I was wondering who but a fellow **** wears fedoras to their wedding. Is that the Gutnik Chumash behind you? Here are three more hats I got Friday. First two are Brooks Brothers (same model as the blue one I posted Friday) and the third is Makins. All are rabbit fur. I think I'm going to return all of the Brooks Brothers hats as they're too small on me, even if they're an amazing deal.

Not a ****, just one of the good Goyam. You know, the kind that occasionally get sent to the right guy for a good deal and who, at the dawning of the messianic age when the jews are brought into the kingdom of heaven, someone looks back and goes "You know, I'm really going to miss him."

As to what's on the back wall... that was the decoration at the hotel where we got ready and then wed when a tornado decided that doing things outside was not going to be feasible. I wore the fedora because I'd always wanted a good fedora and the primary concern of my wife and I was that we look awesome. Given our druthers, we'd have eloped and looked awesome, but somehow the family got wind, and things escalated from there.

Sigworthy....

I think I can get a bunch of Makins hats. Would anyone be interested in purchasing?

At 50% or more off the retail price?

Usually there'd be a high probability, but I've already committed my budget for march elsewhere.

Just about: I'd do appx 130 a hat. Sound good?
