agreed ... I wouldn't wear that thing if you slipped a stack of Benjamins in the cloth sweatband to persuade meStrikes me as "on another guy" headware.
look at the "what hat are you wearing today" threadYou gentleman are tough to please. Would anyone care to point me in the direction of what you consider to be a "great" Fedora? Name brands are also welcome. I'm not looking for a "ten gallon hat" but something classy and perhaps, classic.
I like this forum very much. I feels a lot like we are all laid back at our favorite bar, telling lies and smoking big cigars.

And a partridge in a pear tree!look at the "what hat are you wearing today" thread
look at hat store sites
look on eBay
you will see something you like ... and all that matters is if you like it
thin ribbons
wide ribbons
mid ribbons
welted edges
bound edges
custom edges (a la Cavanagh & Mode etc.)
travel weight
dress weight
tall crown
low crown
wide brim
narrow brim
etc etc on and on all day
and any combination of these that you please
if I may be frank ... I would maybe steer you away from those cloth hats ... unless that is something you really dig ... then by all means ...
but look into a proper fur felt hat
doesn't matter what brand ... or even how old it is ... just that you dig it and feel comfortable in it
best possible thing to do is if there is a hat shop near you get there ... try on hats ...
if that is not possible many of us hear can lead you in one direction or another

+1While we certainly have our preferences, I personally don't want to talk you out of liking what you like. For most of us, tapered, low crown, small brim fedoras aren't desirable. Many come here pursuing a vintage look, and gravitate toward the styles from the 1930s-50s. That normally means high, straight crowns and wider (2 1/4"+) brims. Most of us seem to evolve into that style naturally. I would suggest that if you think you look good, and you feel good, go with it.
Spend some time looking through some of the hat threads and posts. You'll get exposed to many styles and types. We have a plethora of folks who go for the older style fedoras (commonly seen in older movies), quite a few who like the European styles, and quite a few who like Westerns. If you become a "hat enthusiast," as some of us have, your tastes and style will settle into a certain area.
Here is the link to the important hat forum threads. Start there.

However, we warn you: This can become an obsession, and once you're sucked in, we will do nothing to help you extricate yourself.
