    The definitive 40's fedora? Which is it?

    Probably a silly question, but what would be typical dimensions of 40´s fedora? How high crown and how wide brim (inches)?

    Thank you. I do agree that crown taper is not a good thing. Fortunately this stetson has less taper than I was exepting and it doesn´t look too bad. The sides are not completely straight but the taper is so mild that I can´t really notise it with naked eye.

The quality is not as good as those vintage hats I have seen but it´s not bad. Next hat is gong to be real vintage or an Akubra... The brim is going to...

    I tried to crease a hat by hand for the first time. The hat was a simple center dent stingy which I now molted in to a C crown and gave it a slight brim work. It´s not pretty but at least it´s not uglier than it was :)

    Hey UK! Where do you buy your hats?

    The same sad situation in Finland also. There is about 5 hat shops in finland with VERY limited assortment and we are practically dependent on web stores mainly in USA (with enormous shipping fees, taxes and custom duties).

    ^ That is a gorgeous hat Andy! If only I´d find one like that. Could You please tell the measurements of the hat? How wide is the brim and how tall is the crown.

    I calculated the "Golden Ratio" and it gave me ~ 2" brim. And I know that stingys DON´T suite me... I was hoping that wider brim would make my wide face look thinner. Have I got it all wrong?

    ^&^^ Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it! I´m not after emulating any specific era or fashion, I´m just after a hat that looks good on my giant melon. And as my head / face is quite large, I think I´m leaning towards getting the wider brim...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    When I asked my missus, do I look silly or stupid wearin a hat, she said I look a bit odd but if wearing a hat makes me happy, I should wear one. So I wear a hat and don´t give a damn what other people think.

    Whats your favorite Hat for warm weather

    My favorite for warm weather is my cheap Panama. It has only about 2 inch brim so it dos not give very good shade from the sun. I should get a good quality Montecristi, if only I had enough money...
