Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a couple of weeks, so I thought that I would go ahead and introduce myself. I live out in west Texas where it is windy and sunny. I've never considered myself to be a hat wearer, but I have often worn hats if I'm going to be outside for an extended period of time. I have a few inexpensive hats and ball caps, the best being a Tilley airflo that I wear while hiking/walking. Recently I decided that I would like to become a full time wearer of hats. After doing quite a bit of internet research I decided to order an Akubra bushman in moonstone from David Morgan for my first nice hat. It arrived last Friday, and I have been wearing it full time(when not inside) since I received it.
I would like to thank everyone here, even though I have not asked any questions the information I've found here has been a big help.
Now I just need to decide on my next hat!!
Hello, I am new to the forum. I picked up a Scala crushable Felt outback hat last year. I have worn it a few times but have recently decided to try and make wearing a hat a daily occurrence. I really do like the hat and enjoy wearing it. I am looking forward to finding more information from your site and may getting some pointers on what my next hat purchase should be (maybe something for the summer).

Welcome aboard, Pensacola! Don't worry about the details of etiquette. We're a pretty easy-going bunch, not known to stand on ceremony. Welcome!
Hello Everyone,
I think I made a faux pas and posted on the forum without an introduction. I've been wearing hats for close to 30 years at work and leisure. I currently have a Guerra purchased from Meyer the Hatter in NOLA, a couple of old Resistols cowboy hats, Stratton campaign hat, a nice Open Road I got from a member here, a Scala, a Royal Stetson and a couple booney hats for yard wok. I'm closing in on the half century mark and just started a second career. I play the guitar and do some singing at a local pub on occasion. Thanks
