    Your first hat

    Would have been US Army hat in 1966. First one as a civilian was my jungle hat that I wore in RVN. Ironically I lost it when I left it in a Boston theatre after watching MASH. Damn near broke my heart. Hey Anthony! That's an awesome pic.

    Hat fit question

    It seems that the crown is just a bit low. I have the same issue with my Stetson Pawnee. I like the hat so over time I've just gotten used to the touch. When I look back at pictures of my high crowned western hats in the 70's and 80's a little touch isn't so bad.

    What's the best hats for different occasions?

    I do always wear my western hats when out dancing, but other than that I pretty much wear what I want when I want including a Bailey marine colored Suntino when I'm on the tractor. As a seller I have found that black fedoras are not very popular.

    I've always been a wandering cowboy. Finally got my first horse at 45 and started raising Belgians for a while. It's a long way from Southie.

    I tried to order some last week and was told that they can't get the grade 20 Panama and all those styles have been dropped.

    The Other Open Roads.....

    Have the seller look inside the sweatband to see if there is a date. It's on the newer hats maybe they did it back then as well.

    More Akubra advice please

    Looks like the Stylemaster is a definite and the Cattleman is highly probable. Coober and Territory are a possible third choice.

    Thank you! I've learned to start with a few to test the waters before diving in.

    Stetson is discontinuing the Le Chiffre. If you want one you should find someone with your size soon.

    Thanks for all the help and comments. The Campdraft seems to be the #1 choice. Unfortunately it's not available through the US distributor.

    I just checked out the Hattery. You're right about competing with them. I'll certainly be able to hold my own, though, with the US dealers. They seem to be doing OK.

    More Akubra advice please

    All the talk of Akubra hats in the lounge has peeked my interest enough to add them to my inventory. I'm going to order some tomorrow and could use some help. Can I get some recommendations on what to stock from you Akubra aficionados?

    Recommendation for Outdoors Hat

    Take a look at the SunBody Guatemalan palm hats. Durable and water is their friend.
