    I love the Fed IV!!

    Not as much as an Imperial, no. Any hat even custom made, will fit great & get a little tighter because leather does that & that is what the sweatband is made from. If you perspire on a sweatband & it dries off your head, it will shrink some. As your sweat evaporates it takes oils in the leather...

    which one is better,aero or alexander

    That jacket does not exist...Horween HH is heavy & always will be. A new one will start out too stiff & take considerable amount of time to be less stiff but still will be stiff for years...no comment on a fitting an Asian frame. Going off my 2 Aeros & 1 AL, they seem to fit my Western torso...

    Does anyone else hate the 'Regards' signature

    I did not use or see "Best Regards/Regards" until I was working with more European & India-based colleagues. I took it as their form of Sincerely...and a little more personal. All business communications should be sincere, right?
