I agree there on all counts. I may wait for my Beaver FPH to be done to do a side-by-side of that with my Akubra Fed IV in Moonstone, or just do the Fed IV with my Whippet. I think either the vintage, or custom-made-like-vintage is a great comparison to modern standard felts.
I thought I liked stingier when I first started wearing hats, but now I'm of the opinion that 2 3/8" - 2 3/4" is the range that looks best on me. It's funny how our likes change as we start trying different things...
You can always contact your credit card company to do a "charge-back" for fraud. Just a thought...
But yeah, the internet is rife with fraud, and it's not always easy to weed out what's real. Thanks for the heads up on this one...
It's a charcoal grey. The pic turned out rather dark, but I wear it a couple times a week so there are a couple other pics around here that have a better representation of the color. Thanks!
How about $45 shipped, CONUS. Would be willing to combine this and my other Dobbs for $80 shipped for the two.

Well, as with anything, there's a right way and a wrong way to do things. In the US, our laws are much stricter than in most of Europe (and possibly in most of the world), partly because most teenagers (and their families) here go about things the wrong way. While I can see some value in...
+1 on all counts. And I wouldn't discount the Moonstone Fed IV, it's still my go-to hat... It can be worn while well-dressed or in casual attire, and it can definitely take a beating...
I can confirm that Parker's standard rabbit bodies are Winchester, as he's said as much. His vintage weight rabbit is the Fespa rabbit/wild hare blend that many of the other hatters use as well. I'm not sure where he gets his beaver felt bodies, but I'll be getting a beaver in granite soon. I...
They had wood paddles in my school until I was in middle school. That died out around here at the end of the 80's, and although schools still aren't all that great at dealing with kids, they're getting more input from parents than before and it seems like tying home and school life together is...
This is definitely an interesting assessment. I had always thought that the beginning of the counter-culture in the 50's through the end of the 60's was the end of the Golden Era. Of course, we almost had a resurgence in the 90's with neo-swing, but it didn't span long or gather much...
Actually, I would be against it. It's been nearly 15 years now, but I ran a dry cleaning business for a relative for about 2 years during college and learned a lot in that time.... not to mention college chemistry taught me a good deal about the destructive properties of water...
While it may...
