    THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION

    Hi I think a primary decision point is how it will look on the style you want to have. 1.4 inch seems large. later

    THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION

    Hi, I'm not sure how big the ones I have are, are the eyelet sizes on Sunbody's sight or Mustang Mike's? Later

    THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION

    Hi Several of my Sunbody hats have vents in the crown. it helps, not much, but it does help. Later

    THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION

    Hi, Sun Body's are quite a bit heavier than a Panama Hat of the same size. They're also much less expensive and more easily shaped. With Respect to wetting and re-shaping. Even if you don't re-shape, thoroughly wet the hat a few times over the summer and let it dry on your head. if you let...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    How long have you had the Falstaff glass? I drank that like once in high school. Later

    Western, anyone?

    Dang, might as well be pigs. I used to wire hog houses when I was in high school. We left a ladder in the pen on Saturday and on Monday morning the wood was gone, just tooth picks were left. Electricians use wooden ladders... Later

    Western, anyone?

    Thanks Jack, I've seen Porcupines, but haven't really seen just the quill by itself. Later

    Western, anyone?

    Hello Jack, I'm curious, what's the pointed deal that's below the feather in the hat band? It looks a little like a quill pen. Thanks

    'Top Gun: Maverick': Patches On Tom Cruise's Jacket Spark Controversy

    Yes, Cruise is Jack Reacher in personality, and mindset, but obviously not in stature. I've read most of the books, which are slightly more believable than Stephen Hunter's series. Jack is a BIG BOY who has lots to be cocky about. Cruise is almost certainly the best actor for this job...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Hi No picture since I'm at work. I wore my black Quigley Down Under hat with a black with white string hatband. I met my ex at work back in 1983 and we're both still here. I met her walking to may desk and get "I feel like I should say Howdy." Rule number 1, don't date co-workers. Later

    Western, anyone?

    Hi, I like what you have now also. I am curious though, what were your previous creases on that one? What are the crown and brim measurements? I have a couple of friends that aren't exactly "Cowboy" enough to get a Gus Crease with a 5 inch Brim. Later

    Best felt fedora?

    Hi Hector, I'm not sure if I have a hat collection because I either bought them new from a store, or had Mike Moore, Tony Bruener, Roy Jackson, and Art Fawcett make me one. To me, I view a collection as things that you purchased to look at, not wear. On the other hand, I have quite a few hats...

    Best felt fedora?

    Hi Dave, don't take this in a mean spirited way, but with respect to wool fedoras, I'd say way off base. I have an old Aussie bush hat, not Akubra, that's wool. I wore it in the rain and it no longer fits at all. It's more like wool hat = being dang near to deaf, Akubras = MP3, Bunny fur = CD...

    Phoenix Hat Company

    Hi I find that Bone, Black, and Chocolate are more consistent across the vendors. I have several "tan" hats, but don't remember what Winchester color they are dangit. I do have 2 Undyed Naturals, but the others may be Sand or Sahara. Later

    Phoenix Hat Company

    Hi I like the style, and have several Gus type / Gus to the rear type hats, but what does BRE stand for? Thanks

    Phoenix Hat Company

    Hi, I just bought a Natural from Mike Moore in April 2019, and he said that Natural only comes in 100% Beaver now. Personally I dislike Silver Beaver because it changes color in different light worse than other colors. I have a Silver Mist that is my bad weather hat, it's a John Wayne type. I...

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    O.K., I DO want a Copperhead hat band, note the use of the term "Hat Band", not "Hat". Jeez, just working on the bands gives me the Willies. Later

    Western, anyone?

    Dang, that strongly IMPLIES that I'm supposed to wear Fedoras or Bowlers or some such the other 6 days a week. Ummm, I have two (2), i.e. a couple of Fedoras, so it's Western weeks for me. I do have GOOD fedoras, a Tumwater and a work of Art. Later

    Recommend a hat?

    Hi, My first hat was a Stratton from Levin's in Downtown StL. I ended up giving it away to another scout leader who was a 7 3/8 wide oval (what the hat was), while I'm a 7 3/8 really long oval. There are a few hat stores in the Saint Paul area, I'd go to a few of them, and decide what size and...
