    Off White Lightweight Fur Fedora VS Classic Montecristi Fedora...Which is Cooler?

    Have you given thought to a crossbreed? Straw crown, felt brim. Several makers offer them. Just a thought.

    That makes 2 or more of us. I love tall straight up crowns. No idea as to when they might come in, no fault of DelMonico. I can't heap enough praise on the campdrafts, I have 3 now.

    That makes 2 or more of us, I ordered it because of the crown, I love tall straight up crowns. Have no idea when they may come, I sometime forget I ordered it. No fault of DelMonico. I can't heap enough praise on the campdrafts, I'm at 3 now.

    I had alluded to purchasing another PB Milan in different color but all this talk about bound edge has me thinking that might be the way to go instead. A natural with brown binding and matching ribbon. We'll see!

    Well, I'll leave you to mull it over but I fear who will not be happy until you have both at some point. Have a great day.

    Well, my wallet wouldn't be the winner, that's for sure. I hear ya. If I had to make that choice I would opt for the Peters, unless your fond of the Stetsons and fear they might disappear before you could see your way clear to grab one. I don't know how long PB will be offering theirs. Again...

    The Gong Show with Gene Barry, I initially thought there were two shows, but it was the Gong Show.

    Just got off the phone with Shane, my hat is due to ship out today, tracking to follow, now I'm anxious. Tomorrow will make a month if that helps anyone but I think it would be best to call to get their latest lead time.

    Currently own 5 hats from PB purchased quite some years ago and still waiting on a Milan, 1 stock Stetson rancher, 1 western style custom, 2 Indy style custom, blend bodies, 1 100% beaver Indy, by far the best of the Indy customs from them, style wise and obviously quality wise. Never...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Question, if the patrons seated at tables had nowhere to hang their hats and all 4 seats were occupied, as well as the other tables being occupied, would they be forced ,so to speak, to keep their hats on, would they be guilty of showing disrespect to their fellow diners? Rules regarding dress...

    Dress fedoras: Tall straight crowns 5 3/4"- 6" , brims 2 3/8" some 2 1/2" ribbons of various widths, simple center crease, some with soft pinch. Some all beaver, some blends.Those are my prefs. I do have some that flank those dimensions and creases, depends on the style. Colors vary, but a lot...

    Stetson Stratoliner Milan {modern}

    I have both, they are essentially the same. DelMonico's has black ribbon, the Stetson is little finer, softer. I'm inclined to want to reshape the crowns. I also have the 47 folder, I don't wear it, not what I expected, thankfully it was inexpensive.

    It's been at least 3 weeks since I ordered mine. Shane originally quoted about 2 weeks. He might be backed up.
