Fedoras With Character

[Glad Hatter]

Hi All,

I'm new here so I'll take an opportunity to post a topic. Does anyone have a fedora with character? What I mean does it have some sort of attribute that makes it unique, such as flopping to one side, have an interesting stain and so on.

I look forward to hearing your responses!

I'd offer that most members believe that their hats take on 'character' as they are worn, no matter the style or make. If you buy an un-bashed (open crown) fedora and bash your own, like an Akubra Fed III or IV, that certainly has 'character'.

I got an Outback Canvas River Guide before I started college in my freshman year, and it's just about as beat up a hat as you'll find anywhere. I've taken it everywhere with me. Blistering heat, rainstorms, coniferous jungles. This thing's seen it all and I love it. It's got so much character that I don't think I have the heart to part with it, even given it's terrible shape.

Sure, I have a well-worn Fed III that has character because of all its been through. I wear it all the time, in all kinds of weather, for years now.

What did Yogi say about deja vu?

I'll add my Garrison to the Indy Hats With Character selection

I would venture to agree that all our hats have a unique character... 'specially custom made ... it seems to me that a hat never really stays the same... as you wear it for some time it breaks in and takes on a character/shape unique to the wearer and use,
