I think it's two angles:
1. The angle at which we're wearing our hats. I have my tilted back more than Bob does.
2. The angle at which the pics are taken. Mine is taken at a lower angle than Bob's. His is more straight-on.
I'm actually wearing mine as I type. (Breaking it in.) It's a...
This is the Miller Hats Milan teardrop (No. 73) in cocoa. It's a 2 5/8 brim, which is only 1/8 larger than the Stetson Retro (2 1/2), but it looks and feels quite a bit larger. The hat band also has some green tones to it, which I like. Depending on the light, it can look very green.

I was very pleased with the selection at Delmonico. They had everything from the low end price (like the Stetson Retro) to high end Borsalinos, etc.
Also, they had my order in the mail within 24 hours of its placement.

Both of you look great...

Question: how are these milan straw hats for...
Good to know, Lefty. I just got a teardrop milan from Miller Hats in today. Looks like a pretty good hat. I'll see how this one works out before I buy another milan.
I've been looking at a Capricorn, but not sure about the artificial straw. Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? My other option is a Stetson Weston, which is a Milan straw.
Lucky for two of us, Jimmy. I was second-high bid on that hat. I rejected the second-chance offer because of it being a re-done Homburg. Hope Number Three reads your post . . .:eusa_doh:
