I just got an order of old magazines from a seller on Ebay: 2 "Time" issues from 1938 and a Canadian Newsweek from 1945.

I'd like to get my first fedora, but am not sure where to look. As I've noted in other threads, I tend to fall outside of the normal bell curve on sizing and my head's no different and I wear a 7 5/8.
