He had originally told me it would be a cloth sweatband hat, but mine came with the standard leatherette. I'm a true 7-3/4, the hat is a tiny bit loose on me. Didn't we talk about this once - aren't you a LO? Maybe we could arrange to meet and you could try it on sometime. It's a very useful hat to have, the gray has a nice blue undertone to it, and the matching gray brim binding is nice. I don't really care for the contrasting brown binding on the tan hat.

Ha! Great idea.Damon Falzone said:OK, getting back to "fluteplayer's" original question, don't bring any hat. Visit Bencraft or JJ Hat Center or Worth & Worth and pick up a new felt and/or straw. It will be a memorable NYC purchase. And you'll get to visit 3 of NYC's finest hatters. Have fun!

But then you'd be traveling to NYC and scurrying around to the various shops in a hatless state with the pressure of having to buy a hat. And what if you don't see something you like or they're out of your size in something you do like? No, I'd bring a hat and have any new purchases shipped back home.Damon Falzone said:don't bring any hat. Visit Bencraft or JJ Hat Center or Worth & Worth and pick up a new felt and/or straw.
