    Wore my Federation Deluxe to Crystal Skull

    I posting earlier about my concerns over the new Indiana Jones movie and how I thought it might increase wisecracks about me wearing an Indiana Jones hat. Well, we went to see the movie on Monday evening, and that left me with a real connundrum: what hat do I wear to the film? Should I wear...

    Feather in the band of a Panama?

    No rules, just right! Fashion rules are for those who lack the confidence and fashion sense to craft their own individual style. If you like the look of a feather in your Panama, by all means wear it that way. If you don't, then remove it. Never bow to anyone else who attempts to make you feel...

    Funny (hopefully) hat story

    I've been wearing hats for many years now. I mean day in, day out, never leave the house without a hat on kind of thing. I'd almost rather go outside without my pants on that with no hat...almost. One evening I was dining out with some friends and their parents. In that day, my standard hat...

    Good hat for the Florida heat?

    NASA has the answer Having lived in Florda, the only hat I find acceptable for that weather is a space helmet. It needs to be paired with a space suit and portable air conditioning system. Perhaps you could commision Art to make you a fedora large enough to wear over the space helmet, which...

    Anyone else dreading the new Indiana Jones film?

    Truthfully, I am looking forward to seeing the film. However, I'm someone whose interest in wearing fedoras has nothing to do with those films. I wear fedoras every day and everywhere I go. I rarely get comments about Indiana Jones, probably because I tend to dress in a more elegant manner than...

    Stetson Straw

    What do they know that I don't? It looks like a nice hat, and all, but sheesh! I could get a new hat from Art for that. Does anybody know what part of that is the true value of the hat and what part is the collector's value? I mean, if I was to buy a hat of similar quality made today, would...

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    Perhaps a little harsh... I think I may have been a tad judgemental in the first post. Where I still could never bring myself to wear the sloppy hat that Goober has on, the nicer versions do offer a sort of charm. Though it isn't, personally, my style I applaud those for being themselves and...

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    I was reading another thread on the lounge and saw a picture of Jughead from the Archie comics. It made me wonder, "what the heck is he wearing on his head?" So, I looked it up--Wikipedia to the rescue(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jughead_Jones): Jughead's hat Jughead is almost always seen...

    Help finding my first hat

    Make sure it fits Hat sizing is rarely accurate. Be sure to measure your head and have whoever you order from verify the size by measuring the hat. To measure your head, use a cloth tape measure and hold it on your head about an inch about your eyebrows and about a finger's width or two above...

    Hats Plus in Chicago: trip report

    No visit to Muskegon Heights I was sick the whole week, so I didn't get to do as much as I wanted. Besides, after visiting Hats Plus, I had exhausted my hat budget.

    Hats Plus in Chicago: trip report

    I went on vacation last week to visit my parents in Michigan. Typically, we fly into Chicago and drive the rest of the way. This time, I wanted to stop into a hat store, since there aren't any in my area. I chose Hats Plus from their website (http://www.hats-plus.com/), looking for a large...

    Scala hats

    One of my favorites I bougth a fur felt Scala from Western Hat Works in San Diego about 3 years ago, and it's one of my favorites. The felt is very soft and flexible and it seems to be very well made. I don't generally think of Scala as one of the better brands, but after buying this hat...

    How do you like your hats to fit?

    I like them to fit my head. Actually, fit is a complicated question. I think most of my early hats were too large. As I got more accustomed to wearing a hat, I became more educated as to how it should fit. I think that a hat should sit nicely without needing to be snugged. When rested upon...

    New Stetson hat - Need advice

    I love the feather! Actually, I have two categories of hats: dress hats and everyday hats. I keep the feathers in all my dress hats. I think it is a nice touch. I even have some extra feathers so I can match the color of the feather to the rest of the outfit, like using a pocket square to bring...

    Pictures of Art Fawcett's Brooklyn Wanted

    Already posted... See my second post on the first page for a link to my Picasa web album. It's got a couple of shots of the hat. I don't have any with it on my head, yet. But I'll get some soon.

    Pictures of Art Fawcett's Brooklyn Wanted

    So happy with my Brooklyn I've been wearing it all weekend, and I have totally fallen in love with this hat. Art puts the nicest little touches into his hats. As someone noted, the contrasting color in the bow is a fantastic touch! I truly love the color. I dress in browns and greens a lot...

    Dissapointment

    Common experience I think it's fairly common for people to struggle with the first few hats they buy as they learn what style looks best on them. And, yes, there's always a little bit of looking around until you find a maker who matches your expectations. I have an Akubra Federation Deluxe...

    Pictures of Art Fawcett's Brooklyn Wanted

    Link to some pictures Here are a couple of shots of my Brooklyn taken in daylight. One is in direct sun, the other two are in shade or part shade. One picture has my Akubra Federation Deluxe in brown as a basis of comparison. When I compare these photos to the hat, the color is very accurate so...
