Appreciate the photos. This helps - thanks so much!

To me, hats are the epitome of style and one should not get to worked up about trying to match a brim to the size of their head or shape of their face. I'd like to encourage folks to make the style statement a fine hat allows and enjoy every moment of it. I think if you are enjoying the style...

@Daan: Thanks, that would be helpful. I realize there are many variables, but still some comparing photos would be great. And just to let you know, I did place an order off your website - but was feeling apprehensive with no experience with berets under my belt. Years ago I went through a...

Side-By-Side Comparison of Beret Diamaters I've looked through this entire thread and the SPB website. I appreciate the helpful info on how berets are measured and the different diameters available. What appears to be missing, and is only shown sporadically, is how the varying diameters...

Interesting article about the history of Pharrell's hat - which was produced by Vivienne Westwood over 30 year ago. http://nymag.com/thecut/2014/01/pharrells-grammys-hat-not-so-ridiculous.html At the same link, don't miss the Buffalo Gals hip hop video featuring Ms. Westwood's hats.

I just got around to looking for this thread. I knew there would be a discussion on Fedora Lounge about the hat Pharrel wore at the Grammys. However, I was surprised by so many derogatory comments by so many posters. Yeah, I can see that many would not want to wear that particular hat the way...

Our back bow Stetson is chocolate brown and is worn by a woman - looks great on her.

We have a Stetson trilby with a back bow from the mid-1950's. The hat has little wear and the bow appears original. I have seen other Stetsons with the exact same bow on the back. I think hats were offered with a back bow. Our example is a size 6-3/4, so possibly on smaller sizes?

Interesting early Stetson Boss of the Plains I'd been watching has sold...

Two modern interpretations of vintage balloon tire bikes Both bikes are new, modern interpretations of vintage balloon tire bikes. Manufactured by Retrovelo in Germany. I consider myself a member of a small subset of cyclists in the US that have rejected lycra attire and racing style bikes...

Byrnie Utz Hats in Seattle trimmed my fedora's brim today and did an excellent job. They use a special tool that removes 1/8-inch at a time. It only took about 10 minutes to trim my brim, making 5 passes with the tool before I said "that looks good!". I highly recommend them if you are...

Very nice Pink!

Well, if the girls sometimes end up with men that are jerks, then maybe we could say a few men end up with CRAZY women? :)

I think you are right. Men are sometimes even praised for staying single. Women never so - even in this modern age . . . .

Thanks Miss Sis! I like my women feminine and to be girly-girls, but pink in the bedroom is too much for me!
