and I saw a hat, now I have a few questions.
The hat that was the closest to what I was looking for looks like it was from Saks 5th Avenue. I don't know the names of the styles yet, but I like ones that have a smaller brim (I guess maybe 2" or so) that can be turned up in back and down in front. This one had a depression in the crown all the way from front to back. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be pinched or not... I could pinch it and it would stay, but I could also take the pinch out and you couldn't tell it was there.
Here are my questions:
1. The outside of the hat had a black fur or similiar material. It was very soft and the hairs were about 1/4" long or a little less. It almost looked a little shaggy... but not in a comical way. Does this description give any indication of what the material was?
2. The band was about 1" or so tall and made from the same material as that hat. I think this may have made the crown appear taller on my head. I would like to change the band to something taller and with some subdued color... maybe graphite or so. Would this make that crown appear a little shorter? Are there any good places to order bands and are they easy to change?
3. The lining had a slight yellow tinge to it... it was pretty even so as to not look like a stain so much, but I assume it has most likely changed color over time. Is this typical? Also the lining was clinging to the inside of the crown as I would have expected... or maybe there just loose sometimes?
Thanks for any info. I may go get it depending on what input I get.
