Hello All, I'm in the market for a new straw hat and I've got my eye on the Stetson Bentley. Anyone have an opinion about these hats? Lorne

God cheated me by giving me an imprefect head, so I got even and got a perfect hat.

Sorry, but my 7 3/8 (the one I'm wearing in my avatar) has found a home. Going to keep it in Metro-West, but if I see a 7 3/4 I'll keep you in mind.
