I'm gently snugging it down tighter hoping that will help to some degree. A hat jack may be in order...

But I just bought the damn thing. Thanks guys, I was thinking of something like that...

I bought a beautiful new Stetson fedora that fit perfectly. Suddenly, it seems to have shrunk, it still fits ok, but it feels just tight enough to be a little uncomfortable. Anyone else have this problem?

It's not my first hat but I have really enjoyed VHS. I want to get the Jaxon Crushable Safari Fedora in Grey, they said they were going to get more in in that color but they haven't yet. The Untouchable comes close as far as appearance.

Here's the link: http://www.hats-plus.com/p-127-wool-felt-untouchable-hat.aspx 49 bucks looks like a steal to me...

The little white cord that runs around the base of the hatband is a bit of a dealbreaker unless it can be removed without damaging the hat. Can this be done? If they made the little cord grey or black at least I could ignore it, but white...ugh. I'm possibly interested in the Steel Color:

I just stop wearing mine for a few days and then begin sporting it again when the mood strikes...

It's different with everyone. I have a hat with a 2 1/2 inch brim and I've gotten nothing but "Nice hat", I would look hideous in a trilby.

There are two Jaxon Iconoclasts. One with a 4 inch crown: http://www.villagehatshop.com/jaxon_iconoclast_wool.html ...and one with a 4 1/2/ inch crown: http://www.villagehatshop.com/jaxon_iconoclast_wool.html Jaxon makes nice hats. I wish they would come out with the Jaxon Crushable...

If I get self conscious about my hat, I think about all the people that have dragons and god knows what else tattooed all over their bodies and they're going to give me crap because I wear a hat? HA!

Damn. That's exactly my look. Slightly different hat. Looks great.

Thanks all! If I can't find any local hatters to do it I'll try it myself. My guinea pig hat...

Village Hat Shop is far and away the most customer friendly of the major online hatters..

It is nice. Yeah there are plenty of hatters here, but I'm not sure any of them have seen a fedora, (I kid of course). Fedoras are nearly impossible to find here. Everyone either wears cowboy hats or ballcaps. If it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't own one. The closest you thing you can find...
