David - that Zephyr weight is lovely - it looks like it's just got the minimum felt weight it needs to hold a nice shape
Andy - nice Fed - I'm getting seriously tempted by one...
Robert - nice looking hat, and at least you've found a work around...
'Vintage' has become very trendy in the UK over the past few years, but I think that's more a reflection of the recession and turning necessity into fashion.
I am bored with sellers desperately trying to sell their stingy brimmed fedoras and trilbies as 'Mad Men' style though :)
Tommy - that's a fun stingy straw
G.d. - Beautiful Dobbs
Joao - Lovely view and a fine looking hat
Garrett - That Borso looks wonderful
Eric - Lovely looking Strat, and the beer looks pretty good too.
David - I always like that Worth & Worth, but that ArtLite is particularly nice.
HH - I always wondered whether the sides were swept up for sight or for air flow.
AnA - That Falcoln Park looks good, particularly in the second shot.
Rogera - Nice Milan.
re. different hat types, I suspect the beard helps visually balance hats. The big head means I have to be careful with...
Thanks TheDane.

New arrival Dunn & Co 'English Velour' trilby - roughly 22 brim, and 5 1/2" open crown.
Sweat (typical thin cardboard like leather) and liner shows no sign of wear. Will need a bit of steam & reshaping, and a decent brush up, but is pretty much as new.
Difficult...
My understanding was that Cuenca and Monticristi were geographical descriptors rather than levels of quality. Whilst the best hats tend to be produced in Monticristi, you could get a really nice hat made in the Cuenca area and a fairly average one made in Monticristi.
