Well, I may as well admit it...I think it's a nice looking hat. Small...but nice (I'm 7 3/8 XLO). I have two brown stingys...a Dobbs Twenty and a custom beaver by Toronto hatter Sammy Taft. Like 'em both!
Hey, I've lived in T.O. my whole life and I'm learning things from C-dot's post. Knew about some of the fabric stores, Gadabout and Dufflets, but the rest is news to me (mostly). And C-dot is right...if you're near a Dufflets, don't walk by...go in. I might add that the St. Lawrence Antique...

Loved the Iron Sky trailer...Moon Nazis!
I've been trying to find a (reasonably priced) DVD of the 1993 German film, Stalingrad. A terrific film and one that, again, no-one I know has actually seen (besides me). My VHS copy has deteriorated, unfortunately.
I had the same problem with the...
Absolutely agree. One of my favourite movies...beautifully photographed and well acted. Harvey Keitel played the obsessive belligerent officer perfectly. It is such an under-viewed movie that I was starting to think I was the only one who had seen it! Unfortunately, a lot of my favourites are...
