The Bushman is from time to time, temptation for me. It has a wider brim than even the Squatter, something to bear in mind since you're interested in a wider brim.

I have to say that this is my favorite on you. For some reason, I didn't realize the Coober Pedy came with a ribbon, thought it had a leather band.
Here's my take on the Angler... In my opinion, it's the shiny leather band that detracts from the overall look. The hat itself is great on you, but...
I just bought a Whippet from the Garland outlet, and also inquired about both the Nostalgia and the Globester which was mentioned in another thread. No luck there, I'll give the St. Joe outlet a ring soon.

I understand, I love my Akubras, but frankly, I'm getting bored with buying them. [huh] Modern Stetsons seem to be piquing my interest lately.
One of the concerns I had was that the Nostalgia would be too stiff for easy dry shaping. Good to know they're not. How wide is the ribbon? From the...
Thank you, RBH! The wrinkles are something that I notice more than anyone else would, so I'm not really letting them bother me. I'm very pleased with the hat, I'd pay retail for one, but am not begrudging the fact that I paid the outlet price. ;)
Randy
Thank you, Mr. Paladin! Did you leave the Stetson tag on yours? Funny, when seeing it in photos I told myself I'd remove it immediately, but now that I have the hat, I can't decide if I should remove it or not. [huh]
Randy
Thanks for chiming in, I've been considering a Nostalgia. Wanting to try a modern Stetson felt and like the fact that it is open crowned. I don't think I'd wear it fearlessly on rainy days like I do Akubras.
Randy
Thank you!
I agree that the fawn Federations are fantastic looking hats. What's really interesting is that my fawn Regular is smoother and nicer feeling than my brown Deluxe.
Randy
I was thinking about hitting it with a touch of steam. I really should have done that before I snapped the brim.
Have been wearing the hat all day, really love it.
....off to get an on the head shot.

Here we go!
They replied without really giving an answer yet there was one in there... somewhere. They did have an open crowned OR, then. Interesting stuff, I wish HATCO [member not the company] would pop in here and tell all.
Randy
Problem with that one is so many folks search by that term, probably more than by brand name. I speak of the uninitiated fedora seekers, of course.

Most of the time, I don't carry enough stuff with me to warrant the bulk of a bag, but I do carry my MK VII bag when on day trips.
I don't feel self conscious about the bag. Heck, it's a freaking war surplus replica meant to carry a gas mask tethered to me with a rifle sling... if that isn't...
