    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Will be trying on my fourth Hornskov, the Editor in 100x grey. The ribbons look grey in sunlight, but the brownish and reddish tint comes through indoors as you see here. Quite happy as I love the moire ribbons - though this is not a moire type.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Thats interesting - I have two from 2008 or so, the first is their satin finish and superb, and the second, a flecked, is quite standard. Their linings are outclassed by Hornskov in my opinion. See their hats are now $1250 for something quite standard. Are all their felts from Fepsa right? Maybe...

    Hornskov Hats - custom Danish hatter

    Lovely hat, and their liners are some of the best around. Yes, the work and felt finish is really some of the best around, and the price is incredible, with free postage. If its any consolation, even their Grosgrains have minute ridges - and I believe these are made so that the ribbon can be...

    What do ya think?

    A lot depends on the quality of the work, and they have to make a living too. If you are happy, go back, if not, move on. Seems within ballpark though.

    What to wear with a fedora....

    I'd say its just a case of getting out of your habit of the simpler tones, and try and encourage yourself to maybe match it with a lighter sweater or even another accessory (handkerchief?) - given you have been wearing fedoras, I guess the issue you are having is that you have got used to your...

    A curious thing, bow to the left and tilting of hats

    I think they got it wrong - in a right-handed selfie I miss my ribbon! Breast pockets are on left for right handed people....maybe thats a reason. But I think as the maker faced the hat front in front so to speak, they found it easier to do this on the left? Or is that me getting too...

    FED IV Crown too tall

    It really depends what you are looking for - I battled for ages with high crowns and larger brims until I found my style - but as suggested, play around with it to see if you can lower the crown a bit. Also, you may have to resign yourself to wearing that hat with Jeans, and perhaps get a...
