    Can a felt brim edge be modified?

    I'm honestly really surprised. I would've thought that the felt would be stretched at the old edge resulting in a bump when leveled out. Insted, it looks like it just left a slight compressed line from the stitching. That should come clean out with a little brushing (if you want it to, I...

    Forum related question: When I look at the site on my tablet, I always end up with a mobile view and have to force it over to desktop mode. Is there a way to set my preferences on the forum to always go to the desktop view? I've looked through all the settings I can find on the site and can't...

    Black Sheep Hat Works

    I have looked longingly at the Goldfinch many times on Bob's website; that hat just looks fantastic.

    FS: Stetson Drury, Pearl Gray, 7-5/8

    I'm the opposite of carldelo; if it's a little on the small size (leaning towards 7 1/2) I'd love to have it.

    Cost of owning a hat

    Hats went out of style with the baby boomers right when the "don't trust anyone over thirty" concept came into view. Hats were a quick indicator that you were "old" so they went out.

    How do you apply your brimmed hat?

    Zetwal: So that's how I make a smaller hat fit. :)

    How do you apply your brimmed hat?

    Always front then back. That way I don't get any hair stuck between the sweatband and my forehead.

    Fedora Color suggestions

    Jeans go with pretty much everything so they get excluded from the color palette. With the clothes you describe, I'd go with brown. Just avoid wearing a brown leather jacket and carrying a whip when you're wearing the hat. :)

    Fedora Color suggestions

    I think it all depends on what you wear. If you wear a lot of earth tones (browns, greens) go with a brown hat. If you wear more blue/blacks, go with a grey hat.

    Christys Adventurer "steel grey" - a difficult color?

    The color looks real close to Akubra's Moonstone color so I'm going to echo what Aureliano said, grey goes with almost anything. Personally I think that color grey goes best with a black overcoat, but it goes just as well with blue clothes too.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    gtdean48: Very cool! How would you say that the new olive color of the Journeyman compares to Art's other greens (Moss/Forest)?

    which hat on a trip to Egypt?

    I think in Egypt you're going to want a hat with a mesh top, maybe like a Tilley LTM8. Egypt is going to be so rediculously hot that anything on your head is going to feel hot eventually. You might also consider some form of a panama, rain generally isn't a problem in Egypt. :)

    The best and worst vehicles for the hat wearer

    I thought that face was normally one that passengers make; at least that's my experience. :)

    The best and worst vehicles for the hat wearer

    Surprising enough, my Kia Spectra has enough room for me to wear a fedora without hitting my head (on the roof or headrest); and I'm 6'2".

    Need help with custom hat

    Thanks for the welcome words! I'm a little disheartened to hear that Art is running low of the ArtLite felt; it's the end of an era. :( Do you think a straigher crown would help make the brim look shorter? As I said earlier, I'm not thrilled with the look of the brim on my Stylemaster...
