    Alan, I'm feeling green as well on several fronts, and yes we're talking envy! What a great looking, pristine, green OR, in 3x no less. I'm also a bit envious at the ability of guys with size 7 skulls to acquire great lids. Wear it in good health, sir!

    Thin and flimsy

    I'm sure you'll get an earful! I would venture that it seems you may be used to thinking quality is a stiff, shellacked affair that doesn't lose shape. Good vintage fedoras are able to be molded, almost like clay. They'll hold shape, but are soft and malleable. Again, I'm sure there's more...

    Scooter, nice lid, and I've always thought the Salt River canyon is spectacular.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Jedwbpm, I like that OR ensemble, and Jaunty, the Churchill (especially with your attire) has a timeless "everyman" quality to it. Well done.

    I recruited one.

    Did someone mention the 70's?

    What age would you estimate for that one? 30's? I missed rlk's treatise on the brand. Thanks for posting, Lefty.

    Okay, I'm not a Fedora Lounge old timer, but I've been watching this forum long enough to say that's funny! Nice one, Jimmy:D

    What's keith wearing???

    You know, when you get the whole crew together in one shot, Keif ain't looking so bad! Not sure that's an unretouched photo, however!

    New to hats, would like some advice

    Okay Teach, I've read all the advice and I would add one thing. To clarify, the oval, long oval thing has to do with how a hat FITS and not necessarily how it LOOKS. When you go try on hats at the local brick and mortar hat store you'll start to see what fits around your head best. As far...

    That appears to be a VERY tall crown! It's lovely, and I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'd love to see a noggin shot. Nice VS!

    With no disrespect to suitedcboy's nice dissertation, to summarize, the X thing has become a marketing gimmick.

    New to hats, would like some advice

    I think you'll be surprised at what starts to look better to you. The wide brims and really tall crowns look a bit different if you're used to looking at baseball caps, but seeing them in pictures here everyday they start to look normal! You'll be ready to step out of your comfort level to try...

    New to hats, would like some advice

    It's possible to pull off any combination of hat and attire, but I think your wife is pretty dead on about jammin' with the porkpie! Stay on the Lounge and peruse the threads and you'll see some looks you'd like to emulate and others you think don't necessarily work as well. Again, welcome, Teach!

    JT-OR, looks like you've been holding out! I'm glad you found the hat section of The Fedora Lounge. Welcome!

    New to hats, would like some advice

    Teach, you wear those hats pretty well! You are off to a good start, and it's not uncommon to feel a little self conscious wearing a brimmed hat out and about the first few times. Keep it up and you'll develop "hatitude." That said, for me personally, your choice of lid depends on the look...

    National Hat Day, Hat Person of the Year

    Depp seems to be the most legitimate hat wearer of this crowd. I think of the others as dabblers. Do any of them need another award???
