    I just got my first hat since joining the lounge today (though I already had two before joining). This is a Keen's British Showerproof Monarch 2X fedora in dark green with an approximately 4 3/4 inch creased crown and 2 inch brim with, to the best of my knowledge, a Cavanagh edge. It was originally sold at Dix Ltd. in Nashville, Tennessee. The sweatband is in phenomenal condition (and I don't take that word lightly). Got it on eBay for $29.00, free shipping. It's only faults are several moth bites and a stain on the front brim. All in all, I think I got a pretty darn good deal. It was open crown and I gave it a diamond crease to the best of my abilities, the felt was a bit stiff on the crown. All I've done to it at the time of posting this is brush off some of the dust and shape it. I'm not sure how old it is, but I'm guessing late fifties or early sixties, since it's got a bit of a stingier brim, but also has a Cavanagh edge. Is that guess at all accurate?

I had it sent to Gary White in Buffalo, and I'm absolutely thrilled. It turned out to have my favorite proportions with almost no taper. Mr. White used blue bintage ribbon for the finishing touch. Also this hat has the cleanest backweave I've ever seen on a panama. Pics were taken with my phone, and yiu can't really see how nice the weave is.
    That... Hat... Is... Awesome... Period.

    I picked up two more modern, short-brimmed fedoras today. Nothing special, just American Rags from Macy's. The black straw one is on the left and the gray pinstripe one is on the right. (The gray is linen/rayon, FWIW.)
