I've found a couple stores here in Alaska that have a VERY limited selection of Fedoras. None of them that's in my size, though. (7 3/4 to 7 7/8) I think I'll do a major fine hatter visit while I'm in the lower 48 next.

I'm headed to the Aleutian Island chain this week, so that's definitely not in the right direction. :)

Well Here it is. First Fedora.

Here is my Stetson Whippet. photos not the greatest, had to take them myself. some in a mirror. weird camera setup.

The hat: I Love it. It really needs nice clothes to look right though. I feel odd wearing it with 'bum around the house' clothing, but i put on my suit and suddently the hat becomes part of a whole.. its fantastic.

The pix are dark so they dont show the color so well, but its Caribou. Suit is a very dark grey with light pinstripes.

Thanks R.L., I'm pretty happy with it. (I actually love it) As someone who's new to fedoras I am definitely feeling that it's far too 'dressy' for an average day. If I'm not in a suit and tie it feels just odd to me still, perhaps that will pass with time. It is a good excuse to get dressed up though. Took my wife to dinner this weekend and we both got all dressed up.
