OK. I had to get in on this one. Here are some photos I've gathered over the years of my current furry companion...

I have a Campdraft in Regency Fawn, which I special ordered with Hats Direct. When inquiring, Ron didn't realize I had never seen Tawny Fawn, so he described Regency Fawn as being very similar, and if I liked one, I would like the other. Based on that and what the folks at COW have said, I'd...
Scratch that... Oh, to be David Duchovny! lol
Sorry. Had to. I loved that show, but I loved Gillian first. I hated that the show got so convoluted that it lost track of itself by the end. :( So, if they go "non-mythology" with the new movie, I'll be happy.

Wow, this thread has some wonderful pictures of some beautiful animals. I wish I had a better shutterbug impulse, but I'll have to see if I can scrape together some shots of my pal.
Thanks for sharing these.

Almond Joys can kill... especially when frozen!
I saw it in college as part of my teacher education program. Should have also been part of the social issues courses. Awesome and relevent film, even today.

An aptly named hat. Think of it as your Millenium Falcon... an old piece of junk, but it's your old piece of junk, and you love it! ("Easy baby, hold together.")
Great beater Dinerman. Have fun with it.

If it's between gray and black, go with black. Black goes with anything, though some will say it's too dressy. It's a matter of opinion, though. Don't worry about the black of the hat not matching the black suit. The texture is completely different anyway, so it won't matter. Brown will...
Great choice, Bob. The felt will soften as it ages. Playing with it and wearing it in all types of weather will really help. When the crown softens up from a few rains, it will probably be more willing to take the diamond crease. Enjoy.

That's it, I'm moving to Alaska!
I wear my felts as long as I can get away with it. But once it gets truly hot, I just can't. Felt makes me sweat in the winter! Like RedPop, I'm hoping to to stay in felt until April. Even then, if I go out on a cooler night, I might give in.

Spectacular! Is that Blue Smoke?
Anyway, try a little steam on the pinch, first. I usually just hold it in place for a few minutes after the steam. Or, if you have water you trust (distilled or spring), dampen the pinch with cool water and hold in place. Don't squeeze hard. Just enough to...
Pardon my ignorance, but what the blazes are "high armholes"???? I mean, if they get higher, as I understand the meaning, I'll always have to hold my arm up over my head. lol
I have extensive experience with Miller hats. They were my main hats for a while, so here's what I know.
The light gray Manhattan is really nice. The felt is soft, smooth, and the color is fantastic. In my opinion, it is the nicest hat that Miller sells. I have never seen a brown one...
As a buyer, I'll tell you what I look for in a hat auction. Good, clear information. Tell them what you see - the color (despite the photo), any damage or marks, what's on the sweatband, size, and measurements. If there's a tag in it, include that info. Instead of paying to post a bunch of...
Well, I finally got off my lazy butt and posted some auctions. Nothin vintage (sorry), but some fairly nice anyhow.
