    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Wearing a Tesi tan Milan this evening. It was a wee bit too heavy and hot a hat to wear earlier in the sweltering NJ afternoon heat.

    Couple of questions. Been wearing fedora style hats for a dozen or so years and have recently increased the quantity as well as the frequency of wearing them. And in the warm, sunny weather particularly they serve well to add noticeable sun protection, in the winter warmth and on rainy days...

    Eric, I think the modified brim looks fantastic; nicer than the non-modified Stetson. Great style, great color. Much to be said about vintage hats. R

    I bought it from a men's online clothes store - TRUE MEASURE - used to be JL Powell. They call it a Kiawah straw hate - means nothing, and don't say who the maker is, but I know they are USA and IIFC, a small hatmaker in the South. Actually, the inner band is some kind of cloth, not leather...

    Richard and RJR, Thanks guys, I guess I have to get used to it; maybe another small wrap of tape around the inner band. Why would the straw shrink? I'll try and steam the brim and straighten it out as it was not shipped as well as it needed to. Its not a light weight straw hat by any means...

    Question, as most know, buying a hat online can be a gamble, color, crown height and bash, brim width, etc adds to the gamble. Long and short of it, I am size 61 and usually XL - 7 5/8" fits/sits fine. This is a 7 7/8" and was loose, so I inserted a foam strip around the inner band and fits...

    Ok, here's a couple straw hats I recently bought at J.J Hat Center in NYC a few weeks ago. Excellent place, btw; bought there before. Not great pics, just wanted to snap some off quickly. Had a little trouble uploading the 3rd hat, so will try that later.

    Thanks for the kind words,what is a Hollywood brim; the standard, downturned Fedora brim? If so, yes, that works too - giving it a more formal, traditional look. R

    I do hear ya Alan, but I'm referring to the way more recent trend - probably starting with the hipsters and rockers, that use that upturned brim.

    Ok, Here's a question that's been puzzling me. When and why did upturning the brim on the fedoras and similar hats become so popular recently? I happen to think it can look ok, but what curious as to the when and why. R

    Alan, Incredibly beautiful hat, but I am searching Brooks Brothers for this very hat and can't seem to find it. Is this an older hat, no longer available? Robert
