    I'm not sure if Art offers just a band block if you don't buy a hat. Although it doesn't hurt to ask the man, certainly. Art has a conformer, which is a big plastic oval, with a series of contact points for your head. You fit the conformer loosely over your head and adjust all the contact...

    Playboy had a raw edge with a single row of stitching. I think the felt was also lighter weight?

    Nice Resistol! I have a stingy with 3x krushable, kitten finish felt. I really like it. It has a very soft hand as the name implies.

    Yeah, the OR has one foot in each, so to speak. It's a sort of dress western/city hat. I have one with a fedora diamond crease and one with a Ft. Worth western crease.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    If you've worn a black wool hat, I don't imagine a moonstone Fed will bother you. Remember that Akubras are worn throughout the Australian outback, and are very much designed to be tough, working hats. You may find it cooler to remove the liner entirely, or cut out the plastic on the top of...

    Indeed. If you're patient with ebay, it should be fairly easy to grab something relatively close, this was a polular style with a few variations. Mine has a super wide ribbon instead of a pug:
