Welcome to the lounge, fellow Kentuckian. There are plenty of knowledgeable folks on the lounge who will be able to help you out. I have enjoyed my Akubra Federation IV, and it fits the bill for what you are looking for. I have read that many do not care for the modern Stratoliner, but I have no first hand knowledge of owning one. I have held them in the store, and I prefer my Fed IV in comparison.I'm new to the site...
I'm ready to purchase my first "nice" fedora...
I'm ready to pay between $150-$250...I'd like something in the brown/tan color family and not at all rigid...very soft that will keep it's shape.
I have been looking at the Stetson Stratoliner...but I'm unsure about it.
I want something in a wide brim like the Stratoliner...I wear a 7 3/8 in most hats and I'm wondering if most fedoras run true to size.
Any suggestions out there?
Thanks!
