    Did I measure my head correctly?

    Sounds right to me. Still the best way is to try one on that you like.

    cheap derby

    I don't think I can pull it off. Maybe I'll get a cheapo Derby like Nick's to see what it looks like.

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    I leave mine on, inside or out, except for church or sitting down to eat at a resturant...unless it's a counter or a fast food joint. I will sometimes tip my cap or hat to a lady if I'm holding a door. That's about it.

    Question: 1930s/40s caps: ID this style?

    First of all.... ...that ones pure D ugly. But, it looks like a Ivy Cap or maybe a one peice. They came in all colors and fabrics. The Ivy League cap is sometimes refered to as a Five Point or Flat Cap. I really prefer the Eight Panel, or 8 1/4 cap or Newsboy or Gatsby or Big Apple cap. I...

    NYC corporate execs wear baseball caps with overcoats!

    ...or worn sideways. I always want to straighten them out when I see that.

    "The Ultimate Indy fedora"

    Get yerself a newsboy....The Indy comments never happen to me anymore. I get the "Are you an artist?" or "You must be the Facepainter", comments instead.

    Biltmore / Miller question

    I don't know much about the Fereration, but I hear it's one stiff Mother. The Biltmores that I own are sort of soft, relatively...compared to my Western Hats, that is. I think you will be able to hand shape an open crown Biltmore easily enough.

    Biltmore / Miller question

    They are all Biltmores. I've seen them and touched them. The liner says something like "Miller Hats, Simply the Best, made by the Biltmore Hat Co, Canada". Even their Indiana Jones hat, Indie Miller and so on... If you get a Miller signature hat, you're getting a Biltmore, period.
