What size do you wear? Atticus, What size do you wear? I have 2 - 7 1/8 ORs that I don't wear because my wife does not like me in light colored hats. I have never been motivated enough to put them on OFAS but might pass them on to a fellow lounger in need. I haven't even gotten one of...

Carbon Grey Interchange, Is your carbon grey squatter really as dark as it looks in your picture? I have been looking for a dark grey hat for a while and yours looks great. I have a couple of great lighter grey hats including a stratoliner, but my wife doesn't like how they look with my...

Atlanta PD Hat Squad http://projects.ajc.com/gallery/view/living/hat-squad-police/ I think the Atlanta PD Hat Squad has been mentioned on FL before. "The first time an Atlanta police homicide detective solves a case, he's rewarded with a fedora and welcomed into the 'hat squad.'" A nice...

And the boots.... The hat looks great and the boots you are wearing are wonderful too. Who made them? Being a forester and wildlife biologist, I am partial to good boots. Robert

Great comparison How does the feel and fit compare? Robert

Thanks for the insight It looks like I better get used to it. It has been a great hat for over 2 years, and I have an itch to talk to Bob again. I wear hats every day and get more compliments on my Panama than any other hat. Thanks, Robert

Son after IJ My 6 year old son also wanted a whip to go with my brown Champ that he has appropriated. We looked for a real bull whip for his 6th birthday last weekend but thought better of it after seeing the price of real whips and considering the potential problems for his twin sister, older...

Panama wearers, I have a Panama Bob hat that is wonderful, however, in even a slight headwind the brim flips up. It looks goofy, and I am always walking around with my hand up to the brim to keep it down. Is this just a characteristic of light, flexible Panamas or is there something I can...

Wild beaver I have never heard of farm raised beaver. That would be interesting. There is still an active market for wild beaver pelts. Here is a quote I got from http://www.furs.com/faq.html when I tried to find some information on beaver farming on google. Q - Which furs are...

Me too ... I wear a 41-42R and would love to see some pictures. I like tweeds in general and have been looking for a herringbone with green and brown. Robert

Hey Sharpey I have been waiting to find someone to ask about hat shapers. What make hat does your block resemble? Do you remove the sweat or leave it in? What size did you get relative to your hat size? Thanks for your help. Robert

I feel strange without it now. When I started wearing fedoras, I felt like I stood out whenever I wore one, so I only wore them for sun protection. Now I don't feel quite dressed without one when outdoors. As for rain, I wear my felt hats if I am caught by a shower, but I have a filson...

Hatshapers look interesting to me too If you search this forum, you will find some other opinions. One of the hatters, even, uses them for light work. I want to get one in open crown and one in fedora shape. Let us know how it turns out if you get one. Robert

What area of ecology is your focus? I am a forester and wildlife biologist. I work for the state of Georgia helping landowners manage their land sustainably. It is late or I would write more, but I am interested in hearing about your work. Robert
