It's a 60's fedora made in Brazil. The maker is not related to italian brand Prada, except for the fact that his founder was an italian immigrant with the same last name.

Had to do a home energy audit today. Wore the new Akubra Balmoral. Cant decide brim up or down for work. Wife likes my brim it up I'm partial to down. but then again I've never thought about wearing hats brim up before. Just feels a little odd. ;)

It's a horrible dilemma. To snap, or not to snap?
Fortunately, either call is reversible.

That one looks great up, Ken!
And, generally speaking, it is unwise to discount the opinion of the fairer sex when deciding such matters.

My Stetson whitehall isn't too bad with the brim up. Or brim neutral.... ;) Before I thought of Norton my first thought was of Corporal Agarn.

You have to look to backward ball caps to get insight on Agarn.

Curley Joe in Tombstone, Costner's character in Silverado, and who can forget Deputy Dog?

I grew up with them and learned at a young age to use them as a tool. That's all they are to me.
I believe they're more than a tool. They're symbolic, representing self sufficiency. Even if sometimes an illusion, men have historically sought to feel capable of defending their women, property and honor.
I recently read two histories of the duel. Gentlemen's Blood, by Barbara Holland, was the more enjoyable read. Men used to go out and slice each other with blades, or launch lead projectiles at one another all the time. Newspaper editors and politicians were particularly prone to it, and I wish they had not abandoned the practice.
