When I received my Chatham I was worried because it was not symmetrical - one side of the pinch was higher. Once it's on my head, my usual tilt to the right completely masks the difference, so I haven't bothered to change it. You can see that the crown is higher on the bow side in this...

There's a very nice photo from 1936 of Lucky Luciano being arrested - some excellent lids there.
Hey Mike - I've told quite a few people about the Stetson Retro straw, which is proportioned like the Chatham, and the price is definitely right. I am sad to say I can't buy one as it doesn't come in XXL. It's worth a look as a starter straw until you decide on a really good one...
I definitely agree, and wonder why it's so automatic. Maybe the pinch is evidence of someone who puts on and takes off a hat by grabbing it by the crown, without much care (as we all know we're not supposed to do). Lack of pinch puts me in mind of someone with gloves on who is careful to put on...
The real McCoy?
These look pretty nice, may or may not be what you're looking for. They're expensive, anyway, and come from a reputable source....

Hey Gene - that's a nice job re-bashing the Chatham. I like a flatter brim myself, it's good to know it works so well. The diamond looks nice and vintage too - maybe I'll try a pentagonal bash in mine someday....
Chatham in sage, purchased around Christmas, sorry no pictures on my head:

Was your vision affected? Opthalmic migraines have similar symptoms with tunnel vision, no pain, nothing really dangerous happening, but it takes a battery of tests to rule out the scarier stuff - good luck....
I don't know why I ask dumb questions like that - 30 seconds with google turned it up:

That's a lot of scratch for a gimmick hat, although I suppose if you drove a pedicab at night in NYC it would be worth it.
Spellflower, it appears that I'm following you around the threads - try not to get paranoid!...:p
Anyway, I really like my Chatham and have had good luck with it so far. I'm surprised the crown on yours could pop up - mine was quite stiff when I received it, but is slowly but surely...
My Chatham is in good shape so far (since Christmas) and I don't baby it in any way. The brim is soft and pliable, stays where I put it and the crown is softening up nicely. I think the actual number of people complaining about specific problems with Stetsons on the Lounge seems low, but the...
BTW, I post the codes because I receive them automatically and I want Loungers to have all advantages in their shopping. Having said that, I bought my last hat in person at Bencraft, and I much prefer the process to online purchasing. I wound up buying a hat I hadn't considered when viewing...
For the potential hat buyers - there a couple of online sales going on now.
Village Hat Shop currently has a $5 coupon code 'SUNHAT5' that will work on any cart total over $50 until the end of April.
Noggintops has a coupon worth $20.00 off any order of $120 or more, code 'SAVE$20'...
Hey Taggert - I keep recommending this hat to people, and can't actually get one for myself as my head is too big. But I've read nice things about this hat elsewhere on the lounge as being a good quality fur felt fedora at a low price:
