Joao, the greater the variety Westerns I see you wearing, the more appreciation I have for your collection, and the more I think I like the big ones on you!
Harv, this NYC Greg agrees with the UK Greg!
Charlie, thanks, I'll give it a try. I think I might need a guide, since I can't place a hat to a decade yet. I might make a special trip to Boston just for hat-browsing. Is that feasible?
Moe, thanks for the photo! The Knox looks good, and with the tie, even better!
Mayser, spectacular!
Yeah, Roger, the derby was being worn by a young father pushing a baby stroller down the street right across from Pork Pie Hatters. He was wearing a white vintage shirt with that half-collar, plus jeans and suspenders. There was a coffee shop on the corner, so he stopped there, talking to...

For today, sorry about the repeat. I wanted to give the Monsivais...
I like the noirish cut of both those NW's, Greg!
No, I couldn't wear it in the rain, it hat a 2-inch hole at the top. It came tapered like that from the factory. Ugh! I'm going custom from here on out!
I have two black felts and on black straw Milan. One felt is a pork pie. The other one is a Sinatra-style Borsa stingy. I agree with Bank earlier. In NYC there is the prominent religious connotation for black fedoras with generous proportions. So all things considered, I go for gray and...
