    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Just put in an order for Panama Bobs Cuenca Sombrero De Paja Toquilla in Natural. I emailed him earlier and was told a 2" brim was doable. Pretty stoked to get a good summer hat! now i need some summer duds to help show it off! - Elías O.

    Post New Hats Here!

    The Stylemaster was the "other" hat on my mind. i kept going back and forth between the two. I think right now since i am so new to hats still, the Saxon is a great fit. the brim is just large enough without feeling too large for me. When i first jumped into a hat, it was into a 2.5" brimmed hat...

    Does this look right to everyone? i feel like the ribbon may have been placed too high. This is my first new hat, so im not sure if that extra "bump" between the ribbon and the brim eventually gets worked out, but it just seemed odd to me. also, is it normal for a stetson to show the sewing...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Thanks Moon, & Dave. Took all of 45 minutes of getting used to the larger brim. at 2", the brim felt large at first, but after playing with the curl and snapping it up/down, im really glad i went for it. I think i'll break this guy in good. not sure how long i can keep the original bash. i...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It's a looker. I like the brim width and keep bouncing back and forth between a 2" and a 2 1/2" for my next hat. i cant seem to find a 2 1/4 stetson in graphite, which is what im after. The closest i get is 2 3/8" which seems like it would look closer to 2 1/2 rather than 2 1/4 even though its...

    ingineer: that IS a beautiful hat! i did notice everyone posting at least one Akubra since i began lounging around. im a little hesitant about the brim length though. i tried a 2.5" hat at first and it seemed too big for me. i think i have to let my tastes evolve into being able to wear a brim...

    can anyone describe the color of a graphite stetson? i cant get a definitive answer when i google. most look black, but some look like a pencil lead grey which is what im after. any links to accurate pictures would be appreciated. i am on the fence between a caribou or the graphite. - Elías O.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    eBay Stetsonian with a 1.75" brim. After lounging around here and wearing my other 2" brim hats, im thinking of trying at least a 2.25" if not back to a 2.5" that i tried as my first hat but thought it was too much brim for me. It felt good to wear this hat without a nice shirt on, just to prove...
