I feel like I've gotten to sit at the big people table... Today my Banjo Paterson, size 58, arrived. WOW! What a difference between it and my first - a Three Forks size 57, too tight. Having worn the BJ, I'm ready to look at a real Fedora - so jump in and help me, I have 2 browns and would like to have a gray - so which of these is going to be my next hat - a Sydney, a Federation, or a Stylemaster - Comments - Please.

Hi, I can't really help you with your choice, being a bit of a hat neophyte, but I feel compelled to comment because my first every grown up hat was a grey stylemaster. I loved that hat.

Sadly, I left it on a train in Czechoslovakia in 1989. :(

Congrats and welcome!

I have no opinion about your best choice for "real fedora", but please be warned that it will not be your last. ;)

The hurdle is a dozen or so. After that, your spouse or significant other won't notice a new one. Unless you're wearing it to bed. That's for another thread...

jwalls, you're braver than I am. I am avoiding that sordid reality at this time.

You must be in the running for the FL Hydra Award for the largest collection of lids.

I doubt you can really go wrong with any of the three that you mentioned (Stylemaster, Sydney, or Federation). I don't own a Sydney or a Fed, but I do own two Stylemasters & I really like them.
