    Rubber vs. leather sole shoes

    I prefer rubber soles. Leather is just too slippery on smooth wet office floors. But it's personal preference.

    Can Anyone Pull Off a Wide-brim Fedora?

    It's all about shape. I'm 6 foot and 185 with fairly long face, a goatee, and fair skin. My usual hat is an Akubra Sydney with a 2.5" brim. I'm sure I could go a little smaller or bigger, but the stingy brim stuff at department stores looks really silly on me. The wider brim balances out my...

    What happened to the Shadow?

    I don't know about new productions using The Shadow, but I've been enjoying Old Time Radio recordings from the late 30s in my commutes to and from work. Good stuff.

    Hurricane Sandy

    Lots of rain and wind in Delaware. We lost power at 5pm on Monday night and didn't get it back until 8am this morning. But we've been pretty lucky. Our only loss is a bunch of food in the fridge that spoiled.

    How Many Fedoras did you see today?

    By coworker across the hall wore a brown Lite Felt packable yesterday. He brought it in to show me since he's seen me wearing my Sydney around.

    Doc Martens v Solovair

    Grinders are another option. Same air sole technology and UK roots. I think they're made in China, but my ten-hole boots seem to be holding up ok.

    Deciding on an Akubra...help please.

    The felt on my Sydney isn't especially thin, just very soft and pliable. I'd like to put a c-crown crease into it, but the raised center portion just won't stay up. So it's center dent instead which is fine. Also it's my understanding that the only real difference between the Sydney and...

    Deciding on an Akubra...help please.

    The Adventurer is quite wide brimmed even compared to a Campdraft or Federation. The Sydney/Fedora is probably the way to go. I'd go with moonstone or one of the brown shades as carbon grey is very dark. You might want to look at the Stylemaster too. It's a very similar hat shape to the...

    Akudra Stylemaster color

    Ditto Dr. Strange. I have a Sydney, not a Stylemaster but they are very similar hats. Mine is Carbon Gray. Most people think it's black until they see it in bright sunlight or next to something true black. Then they think it used to be black and faded slightly in the wash. ;)

    Guidance in buying my first Fedora for winter

    Akubra Stylemaster or Sydney. I have a Sydney and I really like it although the charcoal/carbon gray is quite dark. You can probably make a Federation work too as the crown height is really all in the bash.

    Akubra Overload

    Might have been a Sydney. I think mine came with a feather that I promptly removed.

    Stetson "Vulcan"

    The brim has to be stingy. Otherwise the pointed ears hit it.

    Where to get measured?

    Any decent men's clothing store can measure you. You actually shouldn't measure yourself as you generally want to be in a relaxed and fairly neutral body position. Measuring yourself will typically have you using muscles to move the tape around and will throw off the measurements slightly...

    The Fedora Store revamped website

    Try calling them. But if that doesn't work then call your credit card company. Contest the restocking fee and let them know what happened. Your credit card company will have a lot more clout with the Fedora Store than you will.
