    Hat style advice.

    Hat style advice.

    To my eye, the panama and the Bailey have similar crown heights and taper, and you wear both of them well. I would recommend sticking to that type of crown.

    Neither a lender nor a borrower be..

    I, for one, think you made the right decision. I'm guessing your father-in-law is a bit more responsible that Laotou's niece (that was a horror story) and I would imagine you gave him an idea of how rare an item he is borrowing. He'll be going in style!
