How many hats do you have...?
Currently 2 hats: 1 Biltmore fur felt fedora 1 Biltmore straw fedora. I also have an Akubra Hayman (tech-straw) hat on order. -
Capricorn
It's a special order hat from australiangear - takes 11-12 weeks. I know, because I just ordered the Hayman (just like the Capricorn with slightly smaller brim) from there, and they emailed me and said it would take 12 weeks. Would be nice to get it earlier, but they are the only place it... -
Wearing my Fedora for the first time any advice
This past weekend I finally got my first comment on my hat from a stranger. He came up to me and said, "A Biltmore! Good choice!" and shook my hand. I don't believe he even got a look at the tiny Biltmore pin - he actually recognized the brand (I do live quite close to where the Biltmore... -
The Fedora Store revamped website
I'm sure if you asked to speak to a manager they would have not charged the restocking fee. Charging a cancellation fee when someone cancels because of false advertising is not cool. -

The Fedora Store revamped website
They charged you a restocking fee for something they didn't have in stock to begin with? What were they restocking? -
Fedora Color suggestions
What I've found is that if you plan on wearing a feather in your hat, you have even more flexibility. Put in a feather that has some colour in it that matches what you're wearing, and presto, it looks fantastic. My fedora is a dark green (looks greyish in certain lights) and it goes fine with... -
Ask a question, get an answer
Looking again online at pictures of the Biltmore Ark, I can say that I don't think it's the same hat anymore. The top is bashed in quite differently. So I'm left really not sure what hat I even have! Oh well, I love how it looks and that's all that matters. -
Ask a question, get an answer
I didn't reshape it in any way. It is possible that it is not an "Ark". Although Biltmore has not in the past named their hats (they are starting with their 2012 line apparently though) so I believe any names are made up by the stores. Anyway, I'm just going from what I could find online, and... -

Ask a question, get an answer
It's a Biltmore. I have seen it called the "Ark" on some websites. And thanks - it is my very first fedora - got it as a birthday present. -

Thanks guys! That's what I thought but just wanted to confirm. -
Ask a question, get an answer
Does it matter whether you tilt a fedora to the right or the left? Or is it just whatever feels comfortable and you feel looks ok? I've been tilting mine to the left, but I see on most pictures it looks like people tilt it to the right. Just wondering if I'm committing some sort of fashion... -
Discount code for Australian Gear
So I just ordered myself an Akubra Hayman from www.australiangear.com. I noticed they had a spot for a discount code, so I did a quick google search and found that there is one - entering "discount5" will get you 5% off. Just thought I'd let you guys know in case anyone was planning on... -
Tilley R7 Town Hat?
So it looks like I'm decided. I'm going to order the Akubra Hayman. It's similar to the Capricorn, but with a slightly shorter crown and narrower brim which I like better. I plan on ordering it tonight. It says it will take 11 weeks, so it should be in just in time for the summer. Thanks... -

Wearing my Fedora for the first time any advice
I got my first fedora just over a week ago. I was self-conscious about wearing it too, although that mostly faded away when I actually put it on and looked in a mirror. I have worn it almost every day since I got it now. I have not gotten a single comment at all from a stranger, but people I... -
Tilley R7 Town Hat?
If I order it, I'll probably go with Australian Gear, as they provide free shipping. -
The best and worst vehicles for the hat wearer
My Nissan Versa has plenty of room for hat-wearing. My Mazda 323... not so much. -
Tilley R7 Town Hat?
Thanks zetwal - that review certainly shoots the capricorn to the top of my list. Now I just have to see if there's somewhere in Canada to get it (or somewhere that would ship it reasonably to Canada.) -
Tilley R7 Town Hat?
Hmm, I hadn't heard of the tech straw hats before. Looking into what others have said on the forum, some seem to be saying they don't really look like real straw and they are heavier and hotter than real straw. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there are any stores nearby where I could try...
