    AlterEgo, I'm glad the photo was helpful for you. The nameplate is easily removable. I personally love the color, which is called Loden. I purchased from Aussie Bush Hats in Oz, and did the 3 month wait for the Heritage felt. I wear the Lawson in about the same situations you've described...

    Jimmy, please consider this a compliment to your skills - I have to ask: Is that Majestic factory creased or hand creased? I would normally not ask the question, because it's so perfect I would assume it's factory.

    I have a Lawson - this picture is pretty true as far as my monitor is concerned. That brighter spot on the brim is sun shining through the tree.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I would have been here sooner, but a manure-spreader jackknifed on the Santa Ana. Gawdawful mess. You should see my hat. With apologies to Chevy Chase...

    "Uncontested - The Champ"

    That's a good looking Captain - what color is it? It's a bit hard to tell.

    Hey, Scion, thanks! Yes, I think it's a nice ribbon treatment as well.

    Summer lids

    Bob, it's still supply and demand isn't it? If Mr. Hawaii is paying too much for Montecristis, then presumably he will charge a higher price to the final consumer who will either accept that price or not. If not, he will have to lower his price to move inventory, or at worst case, lower so far...

    Want to order a Fed IV...questions

    Welcome, and glad you decided to join the fun. If you really do follow along (and I'm not sure how you could if you aren't really interested in hats) you'll be hard-pressed not to slap a fedora on your melon. I see it in your future! I don't have ANY problems with a t-shirt and fedora or long...

    Has anyone on the Lounge done this oiling process? It sounds intriguing and I think more data is needed. If anyone did it, what were the results?

    How do you know quality when you see it?

    The other thing about quality is it depends on the intended purpose of the hat. Because rare, high-quality vintage hats are not made anymore, most guys wouldn't really put a hat like say, a vintage Stetson 100, to the durability test. A lot of guys on the Lounge would choose Akubra for...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    djgocat, I would call that the pie tin crease. It looks great! Mr. Tutt: I like that Champ you bought for your son. Post in the Champ thread if you get a chance. Also, very kind of you to test drive it for him!
