    Thank you for the advice. Lately I have had a growing interest in open crown fedoras that I could shape myself. If I can find a gray open crown fedora, I will probably buy it. I should check to see if Akubra sells such a hat.

    I only wear normal modern jackets and regular pants. The fedora is the only part of my outfit that some would consider vintage. I have worn it with a suit on a few special occasions, but my mother was not there to witness it. The people who did see me, however, were quick to compliment me on...

    I am a 19 year old college student in Miami. Living in the Sunshine State has led me to wearing hats as a way to protect my eyes and skin from the extreme sunlight. The hat I wear is a black Akubra fedora, the "Bogart" to be specific. The hat is a great tool for keeping cool when the...
