    Tall crown: ✔ Red liner: ✔ Gannon: ✔ Yep. That's a winner. I think the 6 1/2" crown (give or take) is just about the sweet spot for hats.

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    What Brent (deadlyhandsome) said. That is exactly my "journey" with my hats. I started off wanting to keep a low profile (not being noticed too much) with my hat. But shortly after I started wearing a hat, I wanted more brim and more crown. Granted, you'll find your personal limits - I think...

    @deadlyhandsome @belfastboy @jlee562 Thank you, gentlemen. Very good Intel. I have handled exactly 4 real hats in my recent life, so my knowledge of this is slim-to-none. You have talked me back from the edge of the cliff. Sigh.... Pleasant wife or new hat? (That's not a real question.. Don't...

    Yes. I want to do just that. Basically use this as my "raw" hat body. Two reasons - 1) It would (should) save a couple hundred dollars to buy a hat body. 2) The felt is really good (in my limited experience). I appreciate the replies you and others gave as it helps me refine my question/concern...

    I have a 2021 Stetson Catera 5X (100% fur felt - I presume rabbit). It is a 7 5/8 regular oval. (My "Crash Test" Catera that has been posted in the Stetson Gun Club Catera thread: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/stetson-gun-club-catera.25961/post-2913530 ). The open crown is about 5 1/2"...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    This past weekend, I was checking out at Aldi (wearing my Major Moore Buckaroo western) and the young man said, "I really like your hat, but I don't think I'd have the confidence to wear it." I told him, "It's easier than you'd think. But then again, at my age, I don't care what others think...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I gotta admit, sometimes I get a little sad when I see a good western that "packs it's bags and moves to the big city" (converted to a fedora) but that crocheted hat band and feather - WOW! That being said, this new hat is really something. Well done, sir. Happy New Year.

    Your first hat

    I was digging through a box of old stuff and came across an old hat. So I came here to search Henschel hats and found this thread. Seems like a good reason to bump. Unfortunately, aside from this replica forage cap, I don't have any of my early hats. This hat was picked up in a leather shop...

    Western, anyone?

    This is definitely in the wrong thread. We're all thinking it, so I'll say it - WTF Hat of the Month!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I really like the ribbon on the Dobbs Featherweight. What size is that ribbon? What era is the hat? On a separate note/thought, I don't dislike grosgrain ribbon but the 3-ply, 6-ply and this ribbon is just outstanding. Why can't these types of ribbons make a comeback?

    Raises some questions about Winchester's quality control these days. Same western weight beaver felts with two VERY different characteristics.

    Excellent choice of style and well done by Michael. I think Michael better order a lot more red liners. I concur with you about the crown as that is the same thing I got on my Big Four style (soft and springy). The bash held fine but It took some time and work to get the side dents to stay...

    How Many Fedoras did you see today?

    At a street festival Saturday I saw at least 6 non-western hats on guys. A notably beat up brown pork pie; a really sharp grey fedora; what looked to be a homburg (not experienced enough to be sure) and a couple other fedoras. That doesn't count the members of the bands who seemed to favor...

    If you could only have one hat....

    I'm going to have to come back to this later. I certainly don't have the conundrum that many others are faced with as I only have three felt hats and two straws (none of my other hats really qualify for this forum). My new Gannon is still in the break-in period so it's too soon to pick "the one."
