Thanx Bob! I've had great teachers here! I think I've settled into the size of brim that suits me pretty well...

It took some time because the color was not in stock and Jeff mentioned it would have to come from the factory. I don't think you'd be sorry should you decide to...

Premier Strat in "Cornhill" (who thinks up these names?) color - bought at JJ Hat Center. Too warm outside to really appreciate it - but Fall is around the corner... I think for me, this is about the widest brim and tallest crowns. I tried the OR, and loved the hat, but that crown is tool high for me. Wish I could pull that tall crown thing off well, but I figure there's still plenty of other styles to choose from.
Notice the hat boxes in the corner of the first picture...getting to be an addiction.....

Robert, if you wear a taller crown for a while I'll bet you won't go back! That cornhill Strat looks great on you too.

Thanks, Dave. Get it at JJ's? Pretty nice place. Bought my first hat there about 25 or more years ago.

Roger,
Thanks. My first venture into Fedoraland was about 25 years ago - bought a Borsalino Allesandria at JJ's . I never felt it looked right on me. Felt the crown was just too high for me. About 2 years ago, one of my friends asked to see it on me. Both he and his wife said the same thing - that crown was just too high. I ended up selling it to a happy buyer - could have been a Lounger - not sure.
When I went into JJ's to try and buy some hats, I tried that OR. Salesperson and I came to the immediate same conclusion - beautiful hat; just too high a crown for my face. I'm not sure if it's a waiting game or a getting used to it thing. I don't think all fedoras are for all folks. I suppose time and experimenting will tell.

I bought mine at the Stetson outlet in Garland, TX. Mine had some rough stitching and a leaning, tapered crown, but I was able to block it back to the way it should be. The felt is thick and feels quite durable. I'm pleased.

Nice thing about the OR is you can lower the crown with the right crease.
Nicer thing about this Strat is that it's very OR-like, but with slightly smaller dimensions. It seems to be a great hat for you.
I did notice that after wearing my OR for a couple of days, when I put on my Strat yesterday, it felt a little small.

DUH! Sorry, Dave. I was looking at the Campdraft, not the OR. Next time I'm there, I will take a look at the OR. In the meantime, I like this one:

That's a beautiful hat. I saw a few like that at the Stetson outlet. Like the Roadmaster, I believe.
The Campdraft and OR are the same dimensions, in most cases. (Vintage OR's can vary). As I learned here. Akubra used to make Stetson's OR. Today, however, the modern Campdraft is far superior to the modern OR.
