New Fur Felt under $100
Shipping costs Maybe I'm wrong here.... I just purchased a hat from Everything Australian and the shipping cost was AUD 21.44, which is roughly USD 18.30. According to the Hornet website, shipping is GBP 20.00, which is USD 33.00. Are my figures correct? -

The nicest comment I ever heard
I was having a gelato at an outdoor cafe this afternoon. A guy in a passing pickup truck rolled down his window and shouted "nice hat, sir." Totally unexpected, totally pleasant, totally pleasing. -

Panama Hat Thread
Lefty's question I don't like flat white hats, I think they're boring, so the yellow straws in the hat are fine by me. And I think black ribbons are just too common. So part of me likes this hat. But, and it's a big but, the rows are all over the place. If you follow a row horizontally... -

This past winter I saw many more men wearing hats on the streets of Chicago. However, for the most part they weren't fedoras. They were these outdoorsy LLBean/Orvis/Stetson Gun Club type hats. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Well, what are they? Are they fedoras? Are they...
