    Who gives hats a bad name?

    Quite so Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes... conformity goes to the fourth-removed, I wear my hat as I please indoors or out. ~Walt Whitman

    Stetson Fashion Collection 1940s Stratoliner Fur Felt Fedora Hat

    MOOSE RIVER is exactly what I thought when I saw the new Strat. Nothing wrong w/ that, but it was pretty doggone clear that is what we were looking at from the outset, eh? Duane is a good egg, a great lounger & sadly largely absent, nigh on these last couple of years, much to the detriment of...

    Can a fedora be streched????

    WTB: straw fedora, prefer gray, size 7'ish

    Our own Panama Bob has some new gray panamas -Panama Hat Works Montecristi GREYSON FREE SHIP sizes, that may fit the bill. I tried to get one last season but I was too late. I think the gray is a bit cooler, bluer (i.e.- less warm) than it comes out in the photo. At any rate, you can't go...
