Do to long exposure to the sun the rays faded out the naturual tint of my fedora. Now the hat had such a slight, slight sliver of blue when I recieved it that due to the elements it took the naturual tint out and made it almost a little brownish grey. So I dyed it with some royal blue and pinch...
I have heard a service cap called a garrisson hat in civil law enforcment but in the military a garrison hat is a different hat which is a "side cap" or "wedge cap". The reason I don't call it a garrison hat is to avoid confusion with military members which the same name is a completly different...

When someone says something stupid I just smile at the person. Usually they smile back and go "I do like the hat." Maybe they feel as if they were being jerk, or stupid but whatever the case is I get about 100 great comments per every "Hey Bogart" and stupid comment.
I also do not consider...
2 5/8 works for people with thinner faces without being too wide and works with people with fuller faces without being too short. Just a great brim width for many types of faces. The welted edge is a big plus as well.
