    How big is the difference between 300+wv/sq in and 500+ panama?

    Ok, I'll get it out of the way before someone else says it, 200 weaves/ sq in lol. My question is is there a really big difference between a 300 and 500 when it comes to look and feel? Should I take the $120 splurge to go up to the 500? Do the hatters like the higher weave (I intend to have...

    Akubra Sydney v. Stetson Temple- Size 8 so choices limited

    First off, I am so glad I found this place before I bought the new Borsalino I was about to get! I've done a lot of searching on here and I have narrowed my search to between the Stetson Temple and the Akubra Syndey (believe it is called the "Fedora" on hatsdirect). The Akubra Federation is...
