Thanks Regan and yes this is helpful. Like you I prefer something that will maintain its shape, but not as much as my Akubra Kiandra. My two favorites are a Biltmore and Stetson. I guess they cover both ends of the spectrum for softness and stiffness. The Biltmore is very soft and pliable. While...

Stopped into a really fine restaurant Saturday evening after college football game. (we won!) Had no reservation and place was totally booked. But that was okay since we got seats at the bar. Had a less than amazing vodka (Belvedere) martini. Okay so I was able to live with that. But when I ask...
Last night? nothing, nada, zilch....
