    Stetson Chatham 7 1/4 in Caribou (NEW) 2 3/4 brim $100 OBO

    I recently bought this Stetson Chatham and decided that I really wanted a fedora with a smaller brim. I have another Chatham in tawny that has a 2 3/8 brim and I prefer the moderate brim size over this 2 3/4 brim. It is a nice hat and I would keep it if it had a smaller brim. The color is...

    Thank you, all the information has been very helpful to me. I'll post a picture when I finally do find the right hat. Seasonally, do most wear the felt hats even in warmer weather?

    Guide for first fedora/hat

    Here's an a hat on Facebook Marketplace. I like the hat although it is 7 1/8 and I'm a 7 1/4. Can it be stretched 1/8 inch or is it unwise to do so, compromising the shape or construction? It is an example of something I'd like. It is labeled as a Royal Stetson but it is almost 100 miles...

    Good idea, I didn't think of that. I'll give that a try.

    I looked up hat stores and it looks like Philadelphia is the closest with several stores. There's a Goorin Brothers, Hats in the Belfry and several others there. That's about a 2 1/2 hour drive so that'll have to wait. A friend of mine refers to our area as "the land that time forgot".

    Guide for first fedora/hat

    Thanks for all your replies. As for a vintage sized head, I don't know what that size is but I'm a 7 1/4. I know that part of the issue with brim width has to do with getting used to wearing a hat, in part. I did have a dark olive green fedora that I purchased as a young teen at the Bollman...

    Guide for first fedora/hat

    I like the VS hat. The ribbon is not too big, not too small. The only thing is the color. The grey is too light for me. I was looking more for a color like the Stetson Caribou to the Carbon Grey of the Akruba Stylemaster. I like the Akruba but, again, I like a little narrower brim. I like...

    Guide for first fedora/hat

    I don't have a solid preference on the edge. I like the bound but I think it looks more formal than what I want. I prefer a straighter side to one that is too tapered. I prefer a more narrow ribbon to one that is really wide and don't mind if there is a feather decoration. Personally, I...

    Guide for first fedora/hat

    I am looking for recommendations for my first fedora. I am not planning to buy lots of hats (my wife even questions this purchase) so I'm looking for one that is versatile. I don't wear suits to work but dress business casual from dress pants and button shirt to dress pants and polo in the...
