What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Dark Grey/Brown Cavanagh Forgive the driving photo, but since I work in my basement, I don't get out much! I have to grab a decent hat photo whenever I have the chance. By the way, the iphone is a wonderful thing, but I don't recommend using one to take a photo while driving. This is my... -

Johnnyphi Hat Club
Not at all. In my experience, if a hat is in good shape, you can go one size up with no problem. The sweat and the felt will give that much. I soak my hats in cold water, and then put them on my whole hat stretcher to dry. When almost dry, I remove them, shape them, and put a stick in to... -
Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!
It is a matter of personal taste and feel. Just don't wear yours like Jon Hamm does on Mad Men... he often pulls his down in front so the sweat is nearly touching his eyebrows. Looks silly, in my opinion. Anj -

Coat or not, that hat looks great. I had never thought of bashing a Fed like that, and it really works. Anj -

Showcase of Non-Indy Federations
Black Fed III Haven't posted a photo of my Fed Deluxe III since I trimmed the brim 1/4". Bashed with a deep diamond. Sorry about the photo. I need to figure out a good way to capture the black hats. Anj -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Indy I'll have to go check out what they're saying about this one at COW. If it is legit, it settles the liner question, I guess. Anj -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Ha! I hate to say it, but Lefty's right (no pun intended). That hat was a bargain, and any good Borso in that size is gonna start at about a hundred bucks. I paid $130 for my 7 1/2, and I think I got a steal. Anj -
Post New Hats Here!
Damn, that is a nice hat! I was leaning toward the later date because of the relatively short brim and the paper size tag. Although, now that I really look at that size tag, the font is more retro than the '60s. Maybe it is late '40s. That would be a nice bonus! Anj -
Post New Hats Here!
Borsalino I spoke about this hat when I won it on the bay, but I haven't had time to show off over here yet. I have been wanting a nice, vintage, light brown or beige Borsalino for a long time. This one fits the bill. It needs to be long-ovalized a little bit, but it is practically a... -

Campdrafters! How tall are your crowns bashed?
Here's Mine Mine is bashed a little lower, I guess. It is 4 1/4 in front, 4 5/8 at the highest, and just over 4 in the back. Anj -
Universal Apology to Bald Men
Accepted! Remember, being bald and hatted is far better than fighting your condition with drugs, surgeries, rugs, and crazy combing! Anj -
OPINION: Did Hats Direct Cheapen the Fed?
I bought a Fed III in black, because it was a good deal, and I wanted the Deluxe felt. I agree that it's a big hat, but I made it work for me. I bashed the crown down a bit, and just yesterday I cut about a quarter inch off the brim. So, I guess I like the new ones better, too! This one... -

Too Big No... it will never work for you. I'll give you thirty bucks for it! ;) With a cloth sweat, your shrinking options are going to be a little different. You should still be able to put some spacers behind the cloth sweat band. I highly recommend the felt spacers sold by Dwayne at... -

Dobbs Crushable If it fits, you should absolutely leave it alone. You have a valuable commodity there- a nice-looking, packable, fur felt fedora! Anj -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
My Dream Borsalino- I hope! I've been wanting this hat for a long time... a vintage Borsalino in a light, earthy color. Man, I hope it's what I want it to be in person! Also, since Borsos seem to run a little small, I hope it's close enough to my size to be stretchable for me. Anyone... -
Help me Pick a Winter Hat!
Camel! I like the first one, the camel. I think the color works for you, and it will be the most versatile choice. I think you can wear a gray coat with it, and it will go with anything earthy. That's just me, though. I tend to go for the earthy tones over black and white. Anj -

It is a nice hat, but I don't think it's worth what I paid at the smaller size. I'm gonna send it back. Thanks, Anj -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Oofa! Hat showed up today. Pretty nice, and very tiny. It's probably a 7 1/4... maybe even smaller. I have asked about a return. Oh, the wind trolley evident in the photo seems to have been cut off, as well. Sheesh! I'll bring that up with the seller if they are reluctant about the... -

I dunno! Well, to be honest, I don't see color that well- greens in particular. I just know that I have a green fedora, so I'm hoping this one is a little different. Not that I don't occasionally keep two hats that are more or less the same! Anj
