Quintessential modern production fedora.
I have 3 of the current crop of Stetsons: a Stetsonian, an Excellent Quality Stratoliner (the green/tan number many of us saw on the Lounge), and a Boss Raw Edge re-issue. The Stetsonian is one of my favorite hats. The felt is good quality and the dimensions are classic. I have it in tawny and...- KingAndrew

Tonak 1799 Colour Card Furfelt and Woolfelt Hats and Hatbodies
The color range is really fabulous. Look at all the reds and pinks and lavenders and blues. Way beyond the usual black, grey, and Indy brown. Thanks for sharing!- KingAndrew

Stetson "The Signature"
I agree that the prices aren't cheap. But these re Stetson cowboy hats, which have a very large following that is willing to pay big bucks for Xs, with no details on what the Xs mean. There are an awful lot of Western wear stores out there, so this group is likely bigger than we are at the...- KingAndrew

2015 Stetson Excellent Quality GREEN THIN RIBBON (Preview & Review)
Eric- I am confident you will enjoy the hat. Just a thought. We keep using the word "embossed" to describe the way the names are put on the sweat. Vintage hats often do have a genuinely embossed sweat, with the logo or name pressed into the leather. But my modern hats seem to have the name...- KingAndrew

2015 Stetson Excellent Quality GREEN THIN RIBBON (Preview & Review)
I agree with Josh and Moon that the felt is very nice. And I love the color combination, which really pops and gets many compliments. Mine also has a white liner. It's possible that gtdean and I got hats from an earlier batch than the black-liner one. Mine also lacks any Strat labeling...- KingAndrew

TRUE WEST- Big Brims
I was just disappointed that after all the build-up, the article only showed 2 hats. It felt like there would at least be a few more. I would have especially like to see a sombrero, after all the talk about Billy the Kid wearing them. You just don't see many pictures of good sombreros, rather...- KingAndrew

Joao, I love that super-tall crown in the last picture. The one on the guy in the middle, behind the smoke, wearing a bandana round his neck. A great look..- KingAndrew

Wool Strat. $90?
I've got a wool Stetson fedora I bought my 1st winter in Shanghai, since it was the only felt hat in my size at the city's one real hat shop (Futoshi Hats). It's a great looking hat and I have always gotten lots of compliments on it, although it is a little heavy and I much prefer my nicer fur...- KingAndrew

Balmorals, Tams, Glengarrys too!
I made the tam in this picture. The goal was a comfortable, practical hat for running in my kilt. Although it might seem odd, the kilt is very practical for running: no chafing, good ventiliation. Best of all, nobody says "Look how slow that guy is!" Instead they say, "Look, he's wearing a...- KingAndrew

Montecristi Hat Weavers' Earnings

Another hat ? Really???
Luckily, my wife is very understanding. I've always worn hats, so she certainly got to see them when we were dating and when she moved in with me, there were plenty of hats in the house. Nowadays, the hats are much nicer than the ones I had then. And much pricier (Optimo and Stetson ain't...- KingAndrew

OPTIMO FINE HATS: A Photographic Excursion
These are great. It is indeed fortunate that the photo links remain active. It is a pity Al is not active on the forum lately. The panama optimo his son is wearing in the photos looks just like the one I bought at the southside shop a couple of weeks after these photos were taken. Both feature...- KingAndrew

Montecristi Hat Weavers' Earnings
Having lived much of my life in Florida and now in Shanghai, straw hats are what I wear about half the year, sometimes longer. I have a high quality panama from Optimo and can agree with Alan on several points. The hat really does feel like cloth, although I am sure it is less than 40x40, as he...- KingAndrew

Hat preference?
Most of my hats are fedoras. I don't own any homburgs (yet). My wife's favorite among my many hats is my oxblood felt fedora from Optimo. It's a 5+ inch crown with a center-dent and front pinch. Brim is 2.5 inches. The straw hat I wear most often is my milan "teardrop" fedora from Optimo. It...- KingAndrew
