    Practical uses for hats

    I wear a hat to keep my right ear attached. My left ear was lost to malignant melanoma. And it should help with saving my nose as well.

    I'd much rather look at photos of females in fedoras any day.

    A heartfelt thank you to my family on The Fedora Lounge

    Hang in there CJ! I'm a 5 year survivor of stage 4 malignant melanoma, it had spread to my lungs. The doctors told me I had a five percent change of living 5 years. I thought 5 percent, there's hope. And here I am, 5 years later. It sounds like you are doing a heck of a job whipping it. Oh...

    let's have dialogue with hat companies

    I agree with Jim. I have been hesitant to jump in with much about my Stetson's. I love my Fed IV's, but like my Temple and Chathams even more.

    Did I get ripped off?

    I have one of those, I bought it at HATCO in Garland, TX. I actually like mine a lot. It is really light and comfortable. It was a second so I got it for less than what you paid, Wear it and enjoy it.

    Hats As Sun Protection, NOT Just for Bald Men

    Another year! It was a flashback to see this thread again. It was the first one I posted on, and... Well, I made it another year and do have several more hats. I also got a new ear in the mail Saturday:). I wold rather it had been a new hat, oh well. The new ear followed new scans a couple...

    A glimpse of the Future

    You are absolutely correct feltfan, I lost an ear to malignant melanoma. Switched to fedoras trying to keep the one I have left. The silicone prosthesis is good though.:eek:

    Help me please

    I live by the adage of, "what you think of me is none of my business," so I put my hat on and go!

    Two Toned Hat

    I have one of these Stetson Andover Milans, which I happen to like a lot. It was all over Mexico and back last week and it held up very well.

    Fedora Fever

    I don't understand what any of you are talking about. Just because I own a couple dozen hats, wear one almost always, and research any place I'm visiting for hat stores, it doesn't mean I have a problem. I just wonder what's wrong with my wife when I tell her we're taking a side trip to look...

    Hats for you: More for function or fashion?

    I started in the function category following a diagnosis of stage IV malignant melanoma. I lost an ear and went through months of treatments. The doctors said I had a 5% chance of surviving 5 years. So I started with cheap hats. My 5 years is this October and I now have a number of nice hats, so...

    THE SATIN FINISH/LONG HAIR CLUB

    How about a can of that spray for male-pattern baldness? Some of these hats have more hair on them than I have on my head.

    hat sizing frustration

    Blackthorne, I have four FED IV's, all size 61's, one is too tight, two are just right, and one is too loose. I stretched the tight one and padded the lose one. They're all OK now. The Stetsons I have seem to have some variation as well. It seems the only way I can be sure is to try 'it' on.
