    Color for First Fedora

    Hi, Lawman. I have a hat from Art in the Granite, and it is indeed beautiful. Steel Mist sounds great too. Since you wear mostly gray suits, however, you might give some thought to a contrasting color or tone. In an earlier post, someone pointed out correctly that it is better not to get...
