[QUOTE="7stw, post: 1828435, member: 18402"] I wear a hat year round. The etiquette I was taught was a felt from labor day thru Easter Sunday , then a straw after that. I wear a natural colored felt from labor day till about the 15 th of October. Some say its okay to wear a natural colored felt all year. I know some guys that do. I prefer american hat company felts and straws. I also wear at least a 4 1/2 in brim. For my dressy straw I bought a 5 in brim American this year and really like it( im 6'2" with a slim frame and wider brims shaped right look well on me)Their felts are as good as any u have worn. Thin crisp and hold their shape well. For super special occasions in the fall I've got a pure beaver buckskin, looks super sharp with a starched shirt tie and sports coat. I highly recommend asking for mike Wolfe at teners in Okc he is the best hatter I have found in the area. As far as palm leafs go look into sun body hats I don't wear palms as they are heavy and will Mildew and stink if your head sweats at all. Just my 2cents. [/QUOTE]
