    I also love my Buzz Rickson MA-1. I wore it all last winter in Ohio, and it was plenty warm

    How popular is the fedora in 2011? Are hats seeing a resurgance finally?

    I recently was at the Dayton, OH airport picking up my wife. I had my Akubra Stylemaster on. I saw 5 people in fedoras coming off planes. 3 young males (20-30 year olds), 1 older man, and 1 young woman. Definitely becoming more popular.

    Putting on and Taking off your Fedora

    I take my hat off using the brim...about 90% of the time.

    Reactions when you first start wearing brimmed hats.

    Great idea! It took me a few days to get over the initial self-consciousness of wearing my Akubra Stylemaster every day. It was either just wear it every day and it becomes a non-issue, or not wear it every day and continue to feel self-conscious wearing it. Most of the time, people see me...

    Go for the Akubra Stylemaster. Here's my Stylemaster. The brim is just about right.

    The charcoal gray from david morgan looks black in low light, but clearly a gray in bright light.

    Buying First Time Hat... For Someone Else?

    Consider buying from some place with a good return policy. davidmorgan.com does great. I bought my first fedora from them, and had to return it for 1 size larger...no problems. The Akubra Stylemaster is pretty nice!
