First off, let me say my first three fedoras have been a vintage velour, a custom Adventurebilt, and now, another custom on order from Vintage Silhouettes -- nowhere to go but down, right?
However, I'm still very curious about the quality of the best modern hats. I love the looks of several Akubras: Bushman, Sydney, Stylemaster, Gray Federation and even the Cattleman.
But before I commit to any one of those (unfortunately, 'cause I can't afford *two*), I'm comparing them with other moderns I've heard good things about.
So, I've been looking at the Miller Biltmores, the Peters Bros. "Bulletproof," and the Bailey 50/50 beaver/hare blend fedoras. Anybody have a point of comparison on any of these?
