    The Cap Faction

    From Simonds. It is linen, and linen lined. The color is even a little richer golden brown, but I can't quite get it right in the photos. It is very nicely made. Simonds' own picture may be a little closer in color, but is a little too orange or yellow.

    Major T. J. Kong's hat?

    Looks like a typical straw cowboy hat, in a common crease for the time. I don't think it is possible to guess what brand it is just by looking at it. Stetson is a good guess, but it could be a Resistol or others, too.

    The Cap Faction

    I got a motorcycle cap from Sterkowski. Their service was great and the cap is well made. Not too expensive, either.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It is a very light color and it was sunny this morning. They call the color natural, but I don't know what color natural polypropylene is, so I don't know if the description is accurate. It is a decently made hat, even if it isn't actually straw.

    Alphonse Capone's Hat

    In a photo like that, all you can say about color is that it was light. Could be gray, light tan, nearly white, pale blue - almost anything. I'd guess a pale gray, but who knows? Who knows what was popular among mobsters then?

    Best Fedoras for Tall Men

    I don't know that it is height so much as the overall impression. I am 6'3" and heavy - my cheeks are full. I think a too small brim doesn't suit me, but I have a few that are just over 2" that work. A real stingy brim looks a little out of place though. A thinner person might be able to pull it...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I wore a very simple Milan fedora to the professional golf tournament here in Houston a couple of weeks ago. I got several compliments, every one of them from a black man. I guess black men wear more hats (other than cowboy hats) here.

    Not that the name matters, unless you wanted to ask for it, but that is the sterling ribbon.

    Ribbon chosen, hat completed. Thanks to all.

    I chose sterling for the ribbon for a new hat coming from Black Sheep Hat Works. Many offered suggestions, and thanks to all. Here are the photos Bob Jessee sent for my approval. Outdoors, the ribbon looks lighter, which he tells me captures the contrast better than the photos under artificial...
