    Thank you for clearing that up. I'm guessing that most of these "vintage" hats will be found on eBay or Etsy or maybe some hat manufacturer overstock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    As I am new to the world of hats and hat terminology, I have a few questions. That was my preface in case I asked a stupid question. Anyway, I see the term "vintage" as in vintage fedoras. Does this refer to a style of fedora or an actually used fedora from years ago? Are people purchasing hats...

    I understand. I was trying to take a "selfie" which was very unnatural looking. I usually do cock the hat. I will remove the feather which, on the hat looks pretty good, but on the head looks pretty lame. As for the glasses, well...that'll have to wait. But, I see your point. Thanks for the...

    My new hat came in today and what a difference it was! It is the Stetson Royal Saxon fedora. Comparing it to the Borsa is like night and day. This brim actually "snaps" and holds it shape. The felt feels a lot firmer than my other one also, and it fits and feels better on my head. This will...

    My second fedora will be delivered today. It is a Stetson Saxon fedora. It will be interesting comparing it to the borsalino that I already have.

    As I mentioned in another post, I am new to hat wearing and buying. There are no hat shops close to me other than a Goorin Bros store downtown. So far I have purchased two fedoras online, and a Panama hat from Goorin Bros. I'm just curious about the pricing difference from one establishment to...

    I went to the Goorin Bro hat store today. Most of their hats were wool blends or 100% wool. Some were very nice. They also size their hats S,M,L etc. They sell a lot of size reducing strips to help get the hat to fit right. Ended up buying an Ecudorian "Panama" fedora from them. It is...

    I thank everyone for their suggestions and input. I live in Summerville, South Carolina. It is about 20 miles outside of Charleston, SC. The only store advertised down here (that I could find) is Goorin Brothers Hats on King Street, in historic downtown Charleston. I measured my head (which is...

    I am new to this forum and to hat wearing in general. After spending 20 years in the military, I swore off of hats. But, recently, I have become fascinated with fedoras. Always wanted a Panama fedora and purchased a "cheap” one from one of the local department stores a few years back. Now, the...
