Hello fellow kapelophiles (is that word even official?). My name is Alex and I signed up on here years ago after buying my first two fedoras but neglected to follow up with it. I hope to be more active from now on as my hat selection grows! I love a lot of the tips that I've gotten on here so far.

Welcome (back). Looking forward to seeing more of you.

Howdy everyone, name is Kevin, hailing from the evergreen state. Been lurking here a while, checking out every ones hats. Got a locally hand made tweed cap this spring, which led to my first new Stetson straw this summer. Now that I'm enamoured of quality hats there's no turning back. Looking to procure my first good felt in the next month or two. Been enjoying everyone's vast hat knowledge, and will continue to do so a bit more conspicuously in the future.

Make sure you give a review and post photos, including photos of you wearing it. I find photos not on the head to be of limited value.

Welcome to the ever-changing world of Stetson. I'm sure you'll enjoy the hat!

My name is Perry. For the last 16 years, I have lived and worked in Taiwan. I am originally from the US. Currently, I'm waiting for a hat from Texas (my birth state), purchased on eBay earlier this week. It will probably be delivered on Tuesday. I'll write a review after it arrives.

Caribou is a great color.

New member here. Already own a stetson since 2008. Now looking for new hat.

Living in Northern part of Europe gives quite narrow choices to buy something.

These are the choices I am thinking about.

Suggestions welcome which can give some idea.

Welcome, Bear.
eBay is a great place to find stuff.

Take a look at the akubra campdraft on 'everyting australian' website, comes in cheaper than the Stetson even with shipping, take about 10 days in the post. Make sure you choose an available colour. Akubras 'tend' to arrive a bit large and shrink to size after you sweat a bit. You can ask them to prebash a crease or get it open crown. There's a few akubra threads and campdraft threads here. It's a similar hat to a strat. There's also a crease bashing thread or two. When searching this forum using Google is handy, just start the query with 'fedora lounge'. welcome to the lounge.

Thanks guys. I don't have problem with buying outside of EU. It is taxman I am worried about. 24% of value to their pockets they demand.
