    Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

    My first custom hat from Mike. Sahara rabbit with Kangaroo ribbon. His work is truly first rate, with better ribbon stitching than on any of my other hats, and if the Winchester felt isn't quite up there with the very best of vintage hats, it's better than many, and Mike's pouncing makes it...

    Different Ribbon Widths

    I prefer wider ribbons - the hat in the post from Tim (Cane Rod Maker) has a ribbon slightly over 2". Having said that I'll happily wear hats with narrower ribbons from time to time, it depends on the hat.

    Best Fedoras for Tall Men

    Thanks for the king words Ole. I'm 6'1", no idea of weight, but with a 43" chest (we won't mention waist) I'm not a small bloke. I'll wear what I like and not worry too much about brim width. What looks bad on me is anything with too much taper - I've got a big head and a wider face and need...

    Online Hat Retailers

    Either Hats Direct as already suggested or Everything Australian: http://www.everythingaustralian.com.au/shopexd.asp?id=535 both offer excellent service and I couldn't recommend one above the other.

    I don't think anyone's taken the plunge with the fedoras yet. A couple of people have tried their caps and were impressed for the price.

    Best Fedoras for Tall Men

    Yes face and body shape play as much a part in hats as height, but confidence is the biggest thing. If you feel you look good in a hat, you'll wear it a lot more naturally.

    For a crawled into the two-digit buy that's a steal. I think a parrot might appreciate the feather more than me :)

    Warm and sunny today. Another Christys linen 8-piece, although I did war a fedora this evening for a brief while, trying on my first custom from Mike at NorthWest Hats - hat is beyond my expectations and I'll post photos soon...

    Javier - nice Homburg. I like the crease. Garrett - Happy Birthday. Glad we got a photo of the birthday hat rather than the birthday suit :D Fantastic hat. Michael - nice looking Borso - the shades hide the lack of sleep well :) Harv - lovely Whippet Terry - if you covered my patch I...

    Daniele - if you get to the museum please try and take some pictures. I bought a couple of Panizzas from RMR earlier this year and they're beautiful hats.
