Jauntyone - now those are some great comparisons:eusa_clap - definitely apples to apples. I am definitely a wide brim fan. (Although I may eventually pick up a stingy).

Akubra Federation IV Regular We had a spring snow storm on Sunday and I enjoyed playing in outside with my kiddos. But I think it looked better on Indiana Snowman:o mayserwegener - that Lee Trinity looks great and great on you:eusa_clap Happy hatting everyone, Ryan

Stan - I feel the disease. I just purchased two in the past month and am already itching for another. I am still pretty new. Got my first fedora a little over a year ago. Akubra Federation IV regular in brown black Penman "Spirit of Barney" - his prototype Dorfman Pacific w mesh crown I...

Fun article. I wonder what happended to the fedora in focus.

I don't think it is "costumey" at all. It's a great looking hat and not really all that shiny. I think it would look great out on the town - go for it! Definitely a classy hat.

Not my style - but to each his own.[huh]

I know that a lot of folks don't seem to like the feathers but I personally enjoy them. I'll have to check out the fly feathers idea. I think there's a shop here in my town.

Carldelo - the guy at the hat shop wanted me to send him the the Hampton, which I did. I later called him and he said he'd replace it. I just went to the shop this week and he replaced it with a Stetson Chatham. I wasn't expecting this but I am good with it. I think the Chatham suits me...

Viper - you wear it well. I gotta get me a hawaiian or two and a straw hat - I'm sure my wife will love it. Chinaski - it does indeed lead to dirty hats. The fed was almost as good as a helmet. ~Ryan

Akubra Federation IV Regular I did a bit of spelunking yesterday at Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas. This is my "adventure" hat. The dirtier and more beat up it gets the better it gets.

Looks great - even better on!:eusa_clap

Nice derby Scott - you do indeed look good in it. Very classy, I bet it would look great with a suit. Hope you enjoy your new lid. Daiz- nice hat & background. One of these days I need a lighter color hat like that one.

fedoralover - I dig the makeover:eusa_clap . Now we just need to see it on you with one of those hawaiian shirts (I gotta pick up a shirt like that for this summer).

I took my outdoor class to the gym the other day to teach them a bit of rope ascending and wore my newsboy. I realized again how out of shape I am. Those kids could fly up the rope and I was sweating like nobody's business.:o

Thought I'd post up my Penman - it's the prototype for the "SPIRIT of Barney." I got it a while back and love wearing it. One of these days I'll have to get another Penman - true quality craftsmanship.
