I am kind of new to using finer fedoras and am learning a lot on the lounge. In many threads I see guys describing a hat as having "nice felt".
What are some concrete components of a great felt? When looking at two hats how would you tell if one has good felt and one is not as good?
Here's my newest addition. A Dobbs Twenty. Beautiful condition. 7 1/8 but just a little tight on my noggin. I can wear it but its snug. I must need to get my hair cut.
2 1/2" brim, 4 5/8" crown, the ribbon looks to be about 5/8". Its a nice lid.

I got two "Nice Hat" comments tonight on this Super Panizza. I think this may have been the first time I wore this one out in public.

I won this auction on the Goodwill site. I forgot I bid on it. $13 ($24 including shipping). They called it a XXX Beaver hat. I'll be interested to see what shows up...I guess its kind of an open road style....in a unique color...
I was in Phoenix for a few days last week and visited Heritage Hats. Quote a nice selection of new hats in all styles. The owner said he keeps about 3500 hats in stock but his stock doubles towards the holidays.
I've been wanting a new straw for warmer weather and picked up this Dobbs. It was a...
I've recently started using Tapatalk to read this forum on my phone. It's been asking me if I want to "give kin". What is that all about?
