+1 all the way.

I just pulled the trigger on a Fed IV in carbon - you guys make it look just too cool? As I'm a novice at this I have to admit I'm a bit nervous in the bashing department, but seeing how great a job you both did on yours helps me feel a bit less nervous. Hopefully, I'll gain more confidence in...

I must admit, EliasRDA, that I found myself wearing my brown fedora more and more as it just felt "right". The light grey didn't seem to "work" with the khakis/jeans I wear most often. I'm sure it's just me but the brown lid seemed to coordinate better in the mirror. Of course, the "where's your...

Hello All and thanks for all the great insights! I just wanted to touch base and let you all know what I've finally done: I did what I'm sure you all would've guessed - I went with BOTH of the most common choices here... like any good FLer would. I ordered a brown beaver Raider from Penman and...

Sorry, duplicate post. I guess I'm free enough to still mess up, too, eh? Dan

What can I say? When you're right, you're right, and I know you all are right. I really shouldn't care what others think - and I often felt that I didn't - but I guess I did. Anyhow I'm glad to report that, like many of you, the more I wear my hats, the more I feel comfortable. I'm at a point...

LOL - I love this response as it very quickly summarizes what I so long-windedly (is that a word?) said in my original post! Gentlemen, thanks for all the insight. It looks like grey is trumping brown about 3:1, so that gives me a pretty good feel on which way to go. Again, thanks for taking...

Hello friends. I've been searching around the forum trying to find a thread or response where members share their opinion/rationale on the ideal hat color and can't seem to find it. My guess is there must be something but I'm at a loss where it would be. I also recognize the subjective nature...

Thank you kindly for the sage advice. I have picked up a few fedoras of various styles/colors out of the bay recently and am having fun exploring my "style". Lost out on a bid for an open road, but the fedoras are really growing on me so I think I may just pass on the westerns all together. I...

It's changing for me, and each phase adds to my confidence. For me, it began on doctor's orders. Then I wanted to look good too. And that brought to mind the B+W films from mid-century. So I looked for classic styles among retail offerings. Bought a bunch. And then I became enthusiastic...

Thanks for the heads up and the link, Z-man! You may be right. Dan

Thanks Lt, RFR, and Viclip for the hatsdirect link. I bookmarked it and will be perusing the site. I think a moonstone deluxe is in the works, but maybe not for a couple of weeks. Hopefully by the time I get it I'll both have made enough posts and figured out how to post pics so you can check it...

Thank you all for your kind replies and sharing of experience. I have to say that I guess I'm getting more "courageous" or just less self-conscious, but lingering in the lounge reading the threads and looking at the pics of members wearing their favorite hat du jour has done wonders for me and...
