The Hat From "There Will Be Blood"?
What exactly was wrong with your Plainview? Was it the quality, or the color? -

I was considering having a Plainview made when I saw your post. Was the problem with the hat one of quality or color? I can't find much on "Last Best West" so I am hesitant to order. Thanks- Meterman

LBJ Library Hat
Has anyone here seen or even purchased the hat from the LBJ library store? I wondered if it may just be a Stetson Open Road with a Resistol sweat sewn in. http://shop.lbjstore.com/lbjs-open-road-resistol-hat/dp/2723 -

Hats in restaurants
In a proper restaurant, the hat comes off. As said earlier and by many, in an empty seat, or protected by napkins and under my chair. I also carry one of those rain protectors to further shield my hat when it is on the floor. -

Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?
There have been and always will be manners, it just seems to be less of a social stigma when they are ignored. I remove my hat inside churches, professional buildings and restaurants. I usually carry one of those "hat condoms" to cover my lid just in case it absolutely has to go underneath my... -

The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}
New to the lounge, but have been wearing fedoras for almost 30 years. I am looking to make a new purchase, but I am torn between the new Stetson premiere Stratoliner or a Borsolino Como/Alessandria. Can anyone attest to the differences in felt quality and shapability between the two. I... -
