    Help for the fedora rookie

    Hey, no problem. A guy can't maintain a reputation as a journalist if he doesn't write properly. ;) And thanks for the advice and hospitality--as soon as I clear the 15-post limit I'll take Carter up on his offer.

    Typewriters

    As a journalist, I've always held a special place in my heart for the good 'ol typewriter. That is, until I remember how convenient MS Word and Adobe Indesign CS3 are. :) Still, it's a lot more satisfying to peck out a couple'a pages on a typewriter than on a PC, no contest.

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    Ha, I love this thread. Just read it in its entirety. Much better than the 'worst comment' section by far. :)

    Best "hat movie" ever?

    To tell the truth, I haven't seen enough old cinema to pick a best hat movie, but I've always enjoyed the panama fedora worn by Clyde Barrow during (duh) Bonnie & Clyde. Great movie, too--moved America away from classical Hollywood to American New Wave. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hollywood)

    Well hey, I seem to have stumbled across a veritable trove of information here! Thanks to everyone for the advice, especially Davidson (good to have a DFW insider...) :)

    Thanks. You'd think it'd be easy enough to find a decent hat store in or around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, but alas...

    Yeah, I'm the big shiny fellow. ;) Thanks for the advice. It may not be the most "educated" or "informative" response, but it sure beats the hell out of my shallow experience in the subject.

    Help for the fedora rookie

    Hey guys, this is my first post on the site. Before my request, a little bit about me: I'm TopSpin, a junior in high school and the sports editor of my high school rag. I'm into creative writing and journalism, which I suppose accounts for part of my fascination with hats and their era...
