New guy checking in, with a question...

I got the bug.
All my life I gave little to no regard to what I put on my head. Cheap Walmart beanies in winter, ball caps in summer...or more often nothing at all.

Now I'm obsessed. I threw away the beanies and ball caps and wear either a flat cap or a trilby most of the time. I've learned a lot in a short time (about 3 months).

I'm going to end up getting a really nice old-school fedora when I know enough to make the investment properly.

For now, I'd really like to know if anyone knows where I can get a straw fedora like the one Denzel wore in Inside Man. That's about the coolest straw I've ever seen!

Any advice about a proper non-straw fedora is appreciated too!

I look forward to making some friends on this board!

Welcome, addison.

Yes, browse the Hats forum. Tons of pictures and information.

There are various kinds of straw and felts. I read a lot, and looked at a lot of pictures, when I first got here (and still do).
