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?
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...

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...
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...
