    Why do you wear a fedora or cap?

    I've always liked hats. from the black and white movies of the 30's and 40's to cowboy movies.I'll watch the blacklist, not for the story line, but just to glimpse Redington wearing his hats! Also both my Grandfathers wore hats, I just like hats!

    Akubra Hats

    just an update, I had to chase EA up for the refund! i explained the problem with the hat's size. no direct response. apart from this email, Hi Phil, Thanks for the email. The easiest way to prevent a hat from shrinking and making it larger, is with the Hat Stretcher. Please follow the link...

    Akubra Hats

    I've sent it back, don't know if label was incorrect, just know that it was tight and as Akubras do shrink. To me it was a no brainer,I had to bite the bullet and return it. I'll see what Sam suggests when he receives it back.

Im size 57, all my other lids are...
