It's a conundrum only you can answer. My thoughts? If the hat looks good on you (and it does) then what difference would a 1/4 inch or so more front and back make? But only you know whether it bothers you when you put it on. If it was me, I'd just enjoy it for what it is. And if you are...
Here's a picture of my latest acquisition: A deep brown Richman Brothers in 7 3/8
Purchase price? A whole $4.28 including tax! Picked it up at the local Goodwill store. It's in fairly good shape and looked really good after a brushing.
Saturday I stopped into a bookstore and the young (to me) cashier told me that my grey Akubra Stylemaster was "dashing." I thanked her and walked out with a smile on my face!
The Stetson is a nice hat. I own several modern Stetsons and a few Akubra's as well. For me, the main difference is that when there's the possibility of bad weather, I reach for an Akubra. Too many horror stories about Stetson's spotting in even light rain for me to be comfortable wearing it...
Well, Randy sorry you don't feel we're as friendly as you thought. I think your wrong on that. The reasoning that this won't work is because when Major Moore tried it last time it didn't work due to quality issues, real or imagined. I respect him for trying to make it work. If Hatco couldn't...
Not to defend Hatco, but they did try an open crowned hat in the Nostalgia. How many of us stepped up and bought one? And yes I'm as guilty as anyone. Liked the hat, wanted to buy one, but kept finding other things to waste my money on (junk like food and house payments - what a waste!)...
Am I the only one that wears his BG Camp Draft? LOL Well here's another shot of it after being in a rain storm.
C'mon let's see some photo's of those BG Camp Drafts in action!
I already posted this photo in the "Surviving the Elements" thread, but obviously it needs to be in the thread that spawned the hat. So I present the first documented picture of the Fedora Lounge Special Camp Draft, fresh from a raging rainstorm. As anyone who owns an Akubra knows, it came...
Here is the first "documented" showing of the Fedora Lounge Camp Draft surviving the elements! Got caught out in the rain storm yesterday. Needless to say it came through without a hitch.
On Saturday I stopped after work at Barnes and Noble. While looking down the various rows of books, this young man in either his late teens or maybe early 20's came around the corner wearing a fez. You could've knocked me over with a feather. His clothing was typical for his age, but a fez...
I was home for lunch today and the express man brought me my hat! I was notified on the 24th of Jan and received it 6 days later, although it seemed a lot longer! I love the beautiful coloring of course and the brim size is just right. Now I just have to work on how I want to shape it...
Got up this morning and walked into the Lounge and saw that more of the Camp Drafts had been shipped. With trembling hands I went to my email and... and...
:cheers1:
Yes! There it was! the long waited email stating my hat had shipped. Now comes the wait of every day knowing that soon -...
When I looked this morning and saw that three more had shipped I got all excited and went to my email and guess what!
NOTHING!
Drats. Guess I'll have to look at more beautiful hats posted and dream. Well, like I've always been told: the anticipation will make it that much better when I...
Those pics definitely have me getting rather anxious for mine to come in. Every day I keep wondering when anyone besides the big heads ;) will come in. Actually I'm rather jealous of you guys. Have fun shaping and wearing!

Rainy day while wearing my Akubra Fed IV. Not as soaked as some of the latest posts, but then again I only walked short distances in this storm.
