    two questions from a noob

    I prefer open crown hats so I can crease them myself. Others want a factory crease which look too perfect for me. The hats I have that came with factory creases have all been tweaked once I got them. The Akubra Fedora aka Sydney is a good, basic fedora that would suit your target. Others here...

    Fedora, raw edge brim that is turned up ala Art Carney's Norton character on Jackie Gleason Honeymooners show. For me, a trilby would be a shorter brim with the front down, not up...

    two questions from a noob

    I looked but have deleted all photos of hat & noggin shots. If you are set on a traveling hat, I'd look at Borsalino or Akubra versions. The Christy's is very low crown & short brimmed. You can get a good beater for a lot less have have a lot more hat.

    Worst hat purchase I ever made. If I didn't end up with 2 Christy's tubes, it would have been even worse.

    ribbon cleaning?

    I've used cold water and woollite. Let it soak then gently agitate.

    Federation 4 in moonstone is a great foul weather lid. You can get it in Imperial grade where CD is only available in Heritage for that color. Glen grey is darker & less earthy, not as versatile IMHO

    Akubra Snowy River that seems to have a storied past...

    Once sweatband is added, water & extreme heat, oven temps, should be avoided for the leather....

    Optimo Fur Felt Fedora 7 5/8 Black for sale

    Still don't see an answer to how you had these hats "verified". Heirloom from Optimo is NOT always 100% beaver according to the hatter himself. He has mink added in, so it can be 100% belly beaver fur or a BLEND of beaver & mink. Your statements of your authority lose validity with each post...

    Most executive coaching methods stress journaling. It is a good way to be reflective but also to think strategically & creatively.

    Hat Psychology

    Wearing a lid outwardly shows a higher level of intelligence so others are more likely to seek advice/directions/etc.... JMHO
