Today, my most pressing errand was a quick trip to the grocery store, so I just grabbed the first hat handy today, my trusty newish Fed IV.
sorry for the scowlish look, I have a killer sinus headache and had just taken 20 or so shots trying to get something decent... haha

Pretend that you owe me nothing and all the world is green.

I build custom fishing rods on the side to support my fishing hobby and now, apparently, my hat obsession.
I've had this one for a while, it's a traditional Stratton trooper hat w/ Cattleman's crease, but I loved the blue color and the fact that it feels so stiff that it could take anything I throw at it. after quite a bit of steaming, I was able to get the brim down. I like it, but the crown seems awful big, but I can't decide if it's fedora-ish or western-ish. my wife thinks it still looks too much like a trooper hat.
You mean it's not in Illinois?

Come to think of it...I've once (1982 or so) been to some place that looked like a Swiss moutain village, but for the life of me I can't remember where that was. I don't think it was Little Switzerland in NC but I'm not really sure. I think my memory has suffered a lot since then...

Thank you, sir!Sharp! Even with the slight scowl
I don't think the crown looks too big at all. I'd say it looks like a western fedora, or city-fied outback.

Not a snap-brim(won't)-- too much curvature in the flanging. Wide-open curve, not at all Homburg style. Elongated triangular crease. Probably Beaver and mid-thin ribbon.
