    Return of the Broad Brimmed Hat

    Could be Hat Law. Write it down in the big hat book? :) That fedora in my post, was the one remaining fur felt fedora in my dads closet before he passed at 91 yo. Unusual color as the ones I remember him wearing were typically black. I wanted to express that a fur felt hat with a shorter...

    Return of the Broad Brimmed Hat

    Tiller, I agree that it was more of an availability issue as they were the style of the time. My dad and uncle sold insurance and they went to clients homes. I think they dressed well and wore the hat of the day to present themselves nicely. The narrow brims were more compact, easier to move...

    Return of the Broad Brimmed Hat

    The article sites young actor Robert Pattinson's image on the cover of Vanity Fair sporting a wide brimmed fedora. That is indeed a departure from the extra stingy brims normally worn by young people today...

    The Akubra Squatter

    Yeps, that's a pretty deep bash for the Squatter, yet the crown seems fairly high still. Has an old world look to it. Very nice.

    My wife thinks I am crazy

    She's looking over your shoulder right now isn't she? :D j/k Will the multiple pairs of shoes argument work here? My wife is thrifty, a tightwad and has common sense. It's hard to justify hat purchases with her. :)

    Cloth/ twill/cotton/linen summer brimed lids

    Rick, I have one of those Henschel Breezers with a 3" brim. It's my mowing and yard work hat and I don't wear it out and about much. The mesh crown really does keep the head cooler while protecting from the sun and I imagine it makes the weight lighter than those without the mesh. The chin...

    The Akubra Rap?

    Whew! I was afraid someone might have written a hip hop tribute for the Akubra devotees. I haven't seen much about the rap, but some cool cats were impressed. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?28705-Show-off-your-Porkpies&p=653193&viewfull=1#post653193
