Yeah, and there are guides out there. In this forum, "substantial" probably means 2.5 in or more. "Stingy" would be 2" or less. Most around here go for a width between 2 3/8" and 3". Except Joao, he's not happy unless it's over 3". After you get a few, or try some on at a good hat store, you'll get a feel for what looks good on you. I like the larger ones, too, but some of my favorite hats are between 2 1/4" and 2 1/2" brim width. YMMV.Thanks! Like I said, it's nowt special but it will do for now. At what point is a brim considered unsubstantial? This one seems to be just over 2.5 inches wide... And do different brim widths suit different faces?
I'm pleased some of you like it. It's funny you say that about the top as i was actually wishing it was a bit higher!! So the opposite of what you are saying... Interesting...
Definitively not!I don't really believe that there is just one style that's correct, one brim to crown ratio, etc.
I need to try a load on... I'm not sure I could get away with a wider brim and a don't really like it when hats are too close to the eyes.. Not on me anyway. I would like a less tapered top. I'm liking the look so far anyway. You guys reckon there is a fedora for everyone then?
