From Florida, Notes from the Road
I was in the same hat shop... ...in St. Augustine when I was there on vacation last month. I agree with both earlier comments, very nice folks, and way too expensive. I tried on their packable Borsalino, which immediately convinced me to order instead an Akubra Casual from Morgan to take on... -

Brim Width and Head Size
your second most troubling issue... I never could figure this out either, until one day someone suggested I go to www.esnipe.com and read about their service. This may clear up some questions for you. Regards. -

What kind of face/body can pull off a high crown?
"Is a high crown typically for bigger-bodied folk?" etc. In my experience, the high crown grows on you. When I got my first one with a high crown, it felt a little odd, but very quickly I came to feel that the high crown is preferable and anything less looks a little too flat. Also, you are... -

With Apologies to "Bogie"....

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Here's my entry... This one arrived about six weeks ago. It is fabulous to wear. The felt color is granite, the bow is dark blue. -

First vintage hat: A Whippet
Wow, this is your first vintage hat? That's a great way to start--Whippets are my favorite among the vintage choices, and this looks like it is in mint condition. I like the color, too. Let's see some pix of it on. -

Really nice, James. The ribbon choice and block are fantastic. I will look forward to seeing the pictures of it on your head! -

Color for First Fedora
Hi, Lawman. I have a hat from Art in the Granite, and it is indeed beautiful. Steel Mist sounds great too. Since you wear mostly gray suits, however, you might give some thought to a contrasting color or tone. In an earlier post, someone pointed out correctly that it is better not to get... -

Alternative Methods for Hat Stretching?
I would be inclined to just wear it for a while--it may stretch out a bit without your having to do anything else. -

Found: Amazing Vintage Dobbs Homburg
Don't worry about LO if it fits... The best-fitting hat I have is the one Art made to fit me exactly, and it is indeed a great fit. However, I have hats in three different nominal sizes that fit me very acceptably, and the true test is how it feels when it is sitting on your noggin. If the... -

Found: Amazing Vintage Dobbs Homburg
I think they look great with the right face. Some folks feel that if you have strong facial features like dark, bushy eyebrows, the curve of the homburg brim puts it all in perfect balance--looking at pictures, I agree. The same might apply to beards, mustaches, goatees. I think they are... -

Alternatives to a fedora
Whoa! I definitely have not ever been followed by the police when I wore a fedora, and I don't expect I ever will be. I wear at least one of my hats (most often it is a light gray Open Road, goes with jeans or anything less dressy than a suit) each day, and walking around, not riding in a car... -

Some Hats out of the Closets
Further on this, the panama looks a lot like the one your great grandfather had on in his trip to Cuba (http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?p=200447#post200447). No chance it is the same one, is there? -

Some Hats out of the Closets
Wow, Douglas, I really like this panama, and it is strikingly like one I picked up this past May in Vienna, Austria, of all places. I was walking by a high-end sporting goods store and spotted a supply of them in the window, so I immediately went it, they had one that fit me, so I threw away my...
