Looks ok, right? But it's very heavy and very stiff. Hard, really. More like a cowboy hat than a fedora. Too heavy and hard to casually adjust it after you've replaced the golden idol with a bag of sand.
I have a great old fedora that I've worn for ten years. I can't return this new one though because it was a gift, an amazingly thoughtful gift for a 40th birthday, but actually just wrong. I can't tell my best buddy that, though.
If you want to find a decent fedora for a reasonable price, go to a men's clothing store that targets African-Americans. Hats are still popular in that subculture, or were as recently as five years ago (last time I checked.)
