Matt Deckard said:Okay... here is what we are going to do.
We're going to do an official test.
November 17 at the Queen Mary open to public view.
The Fedora Lounge will come up with the criteria.
The hats will be submitted to the tests equally. All hatters are welcome to enter their fedoras.
More to come.
Practically none of this seems worthy of controversy, except for the line in blue. It raises a question: which persons are the Fedora Lounge in this case? Does it include such loungers as, say, Fedora and Pilgrim? Or does it exclude certain loungers?
We all consider ourselves to be part of the Fedora Lounge. Therefore, it seems reasonable that the more knowledgeable "hat people" among us would see fit to ask questions about the criteria, or even to help in determining it. Again, the opening post does say that "The Fedora Lounge will come up with the criteria." So ... who, in the case of this contest, is "the Fedora Lounge"?
