The article made decent points, it just had nothing to do with fedoras, which is what's perplexing. Apart from the title, hats were mentioned precisely once in the whole article, and only in passing. I'm with Tony, I think there's something we're missing.
Advice on stretching
two days ago (one of the really warm days here in the northeast/midwest), I wore my black cherry lite to work. When I was about to leave work and go home, I noticed that it was raining somewhat. I shrugged my shoulders, figuring it was just a little rain and a work of Art...
My favorite edge is the cavanagh edge. Given that those aren't really made anymore, my second favorite would be the overwelt. Why? Because I'm rather tall, so an overwelt will resemble a cavanagh edge more closely than an underwelt for the more than half the population who are shorter than me...
I don't own this color personally, but I've heard dove described as Art's most versatile color. Goes with nearly everything. I own one in steel (or possibly midnite blue? It's been a while since I bought it), and it goes very well with a dark brown leather jacket.
As for the style, maybe get a...
1. Yes.
2. No - I could be wrong, but I think Art often puts the holes underneath the ribbon, so they aren't visible at all, but stil help to vent heat.
3. Not sure
4. Yes, I often wear my black cherry lite with the liner and it keeps me just as warm as any of my other hats.
5. I would imagine...
This is the new one, right Bruce? Any pics? I haven't seen pictures of a new adventurebilt in a dogs age.
It seems ironic for me that today is national hat day, because today is my day in, and I don't plan on going out...hence, no hats for me today.
Just won this beauty on the bay:

I hope Art can restore it to its natural 7 1/2 for me.
Beaver felt isn't really that hard to get and that price isn't astonishing.
As to what I think of the hat, I think for just a little bit more than that price, you could get a 100% beaver felt hat from one of the custom hatters that frequent the lounge. TonyB of Tumwater in particular sells...
My first hat from Art was blue smoke and it's a lovely color. It probably wouldn't be that great with green, but the black and navy would be great with it. It's blue enough that it will look really nice with a blue or navy blue t-shirt, but it's still fundamentally a gray color. I wouldn't...
Ah, ok, gotcha. I'll probably stick with century - you've got me spoiled. ;)
Love the thin ribbon, seabass. Man, Art, I hope you can get that same black cherry lite again...I love this color so much, I may someday have to get another one (in a different style). -M
