Fooled by a hat store?
Yep, I'd return it immediately, the sooner the better. And I'd ask for refund in kind (cash, credit card, whatever), not just store credit. Any reputable hat vendor knows that hats rarely 'loosen up' with wear. Best case, you had an ignorant salesperson - worst case, you were knowingly sold a... -
Stetson Hampton
Nice That's a sweet lid, sort of precursor to the new Whippet. I think of them as an upper-class Chatham. I seem to remember that the Hampton has a silk finish - how furry is it? -
Trilby Vs. Fedora...what's the difference?
Yes This is my understanding of the current state of the words, along with the greater taper to the crown of a Trilby mentioned by MD. That's in the US, though - word meanings change after crossing big bodies of water. Down under where you are, you have a good selection of Akubra straws... -

Summer lids
That's a great recommendation - I also notice that David Morgan has a new Panama Fedora that is quite inexpensive and actually comes in XXL. In fact it looks very much like the Stetson Retro - it appears to have the same smooth fabric band as the Brewster I reviewed recently - if so, it should... -
Post New Hats Here!
Maybe you should consider asking for a ribbon binding on the brim once that unfortunate excrescence is removed - I'm not sure it would look OK on such a furry hat though.... -
Edge Binding Preparation
I can't remember seeing a hat where a brim binding was applied over a welted edge. The Stetson Windham has a variation - the brim is bound with a ribbon, then that is folded over so the ribbon winds up inside the welting. You can see it here... -
Summer lids
I've always liked the Stetson Retro straw, although it doesn't come big enough for me. http://www.villagehatshop.com/stetson_retro_fedora.html I don't know how the idea of a polypro hat strikes you - but the Akubra Capricorn is a good tough poly straw that has classic proportions. It will... -
The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Ain't that the truth. At graduation a couple of years back, I was standing in line with the rest of the faculty in academic regalia. I had a colleague give me a hard time because my robe has two wide orange vertical stripes on it - he said I looked like a coast guard buoy. Meanwhile, he was... -

Akubra Campdraft
I think you're mixing up fabrication time with delivery time. If they have to ask Akubra to make a hat for you - they have a 3-month lead time, although I got a Stylemaster and a Capricorn in 2 months. The delivery time is just the transit time of the package. It seems a little wacky to spend... -
Closing jacket vents
I admire your perspicacity, but my DIY'ing ends with button-sewing, hat-bashing, simple carpentry and occasionally kayak building (2 so far, but I have big plans). I no longer tempt fate by tackling the arts that have the capacity to do significant damage to by body or ego, e.g. tailoring... -
Bit of an Akubra Crisis
One suggestion I've heard is that you should be able to tie your shoes without having your hat fall off your head - if it does, it's too loose. If it leaves a horizontal red line across your forehead, it's probably too tight. As others have said, the sweat will draw to your head in time. If it's... -
Shutter Island
I don't know, in that first picture of Leo, his lid doesn't look so tall. I used dividers on the crown, and the height equals the distance from his eyes to the point of his chin. On my mug, that's about 4-1/4" (and my head is very big). I think it looks more like a modern Stetson, say a Chatham... -

Closing jacket vents
On my jacket, and the suit jacket I will have closed up, the vents are really just a seam that was not closed up. By that I mean there was a seam running contiguously and in line with the top of the existing vent. I believe this will be the case on most jackets. The alternative - a vent cut in... -
Closing jacket vents
Update Well, I didn't realize it had been quite so long, but I finally got around to having the vents closed on the flannel sport jacket I mentioned in my original post. The tailor didn't blink, only charged $20, and there is no evidence that it was anything but a ventless jacket. I'd take a... -
