Melton today. I love the wide binding
 
Hello,

Below is a Jaxon Bogart with a narrower silver-pewter ribbon instead the original black. The hat was tight so it's still noticeably rough from my first-time stretch, and the brim isn't quite right yet...any suggestions are most welcome. Still, I wore it out today with a gray trenchcoat and got a compliment from an older lady - I returned the compliment on her hat - and a smile from another. All I need now is a light brown/tan one and I'm set....a bluish one would be nice, too, but what I want seems very hard to locate and out of my price range when I do. :( Anyway...

Flatch, you might check out the Akubra Campdraft in taupe fawn or the standard Federation IV in tawny fawn for the light brown you're looking for. Hats Direct has great pricing right now. Plenty of threads here on both hats also.

Chuck, thanks, I did consider those - they're sharp and have a good rep herebouts, along with the Stylemaster. But after looking around a bit, Miller Hat's "Baldwin" in camel is the the one I'll start saving pennies for (assuming its color in real life is what you see in the pic...isn't always so I've learned). Then again, I live about an hour N of the vintage hat shop in Cincinnati, so the wife suggested we take a ride down there some weekend just to look around...from the pics in the thread about the shop there's no telling what coolness he has there.

I've had to clean drool from my keyboard a few times while crusing the Miller Hats site. That looks pretty sharp.

You mean I worked 20 minutes from Cincinnati for two months and never knew there was a vintage hat shop? :( :eusa_doh: I'm home now. Too late.
I went to Batsakes and bought a Borsalino cap and fedora. That was the only hat shop I found in or around Cincy. Where was the vintage one?
