Very nice, Yahoody!

Yahoody,, I’m a huge 1911 fan. Long slide 1911s are sweet. Did you have a custom 1911 shop?

I really like Packers. Have a pair of Wesco with MP toe. Was interested in Whites at the time but the Wesco found their way to me on recommendation of Bakers Shoes.

Where is the best place to purchase an Akubra in US? What does 7 5/8ths best translate to in Akubra?

New 100 % wide brim fedora from Bronco Sue in Mason, Texas.

I sometimes wear my one and only fedora (so far) with western packer boots. I wear it more with old school leather hiking boots. I can imagine people doing that in the day when fedoras were as common as pants.

I appreciate the feedback. Really I do. What would be helpful to me and other hat “rookies” is a Fedora Lounge sticky explaining head shapes including graphics or photos to illustrate the differences. Again, I own exactly a hat and a half so to speak. Several knowledgable experts have responded...

Thanks for the helpful replies. I’m not sure to what degree I am long oval. I’ll ask the hatter currently making a hat for me. I have a big head I guess… 7 5/8ths… When I received my first hat I thought it must be normal for a stiff hat to be tight in front and back with space on the sides...

I purchased my first custom fedora hat a few years ago. I ordered a second fedora not long ago from a different maker. I suppose I should’ve done a lot more research instead of gawking at photos the first time around. That hatter simply measured my head once and that was it. The second hatter...

Well then… here I go. Thanks!

I have a half dozen pair of moderately expensive boots ($400-$600 when I purchased them) including a couple pair custom ordered. All have matched in color. Like Belfastboy, I have a couple pair of Danner ML hiking boots. I can understand your aggravation over the matter.

Duluth Trading Company has a variety of underwear in various styles and materials/fabrics. I’ve found their underwear products to be long lasting.

I’d say most people newly interested in hats today are the product of what they’ve seen and liked on TV or in the movies. Western hats are being promoted these days due to a few very popular TV shows. Even so, Iit’s not like there are tons of people wearing hats in public for others to...

I appreciate all the the thoughtful and intelligent replies. Wouldn’t expect otherwise here. It‘s been long evident this is a welcoming and professional site. As far as PB goes, the hat is nice. They didn’t seem all that enthusiastic about my visit nor did they explain much. It was the first...
