    I'm in northern Virginia. I'd say Washington, D.C. is "near," but if you had our traffic, you'd know what I mean when I say it's a world away... For me, "near" is Leesburg, Chantilly, Reston, Sterling, etc. This is more baseball cap country than hat world.

    Hmm. Good tip. Do vendors specify fur felt? When they say "felt" do they mean wool felt or fur felt? I'm guessing the price will be a giveaway...

    I am learning new things by the hour! Hat jack? Spacers? What are these, and where does one find them? I too, think erring on the large side is better. Earlier this year, I bought a souvenir straw fedora given away at one of my baseball team's home games. One size only, of course: Too...

    New question, probably been asked before but my searches have been futile: Are there any hat brands to avoid? I'm looking to start building my collection. My tastes run to the Trilby-style. My first order is a Bailey. Sterkowski, Jaxon, Goorin and Stacy Adams all have models that interest me.

    Thanks, Bob. I guess I'm a bit of a contrarian, then. I seem to favor shorter crowns and smaller brims. I also like the snap brim. Kind of like the Sean Connery/James Bond look, but softer. I'm not made of money, but I'm not scraping by just yet (I'm still fully employed). I'll probably...

    By way of introduction, this is my first post. I'm OldStrummer in the USA. As I've gotten older, my always-fine hair has become thinner and more fly-away. I've worn hats most of my adult life, but as a runner, they have been wicking, front-billed baseball-type caps. When I was younger and...
