5.0 out of 5 stars
Part of me wishes people still wore these, August 12, 2008
This review is from: Derby Hat (Misc.)
The great thing about this hat is you can leave the feather in or take it out, whichever you feel like. I like to have it out myself, although it is a nice feather. I'm sure there's something else I can do with it. A feather this nice shouldn't be wasted.
The hat's a little pricey compared to an old baseball cap, but that's because the quality is so much nicer. It looks smashing, and I think I look quite smashing wearing it as well. I'd like to wear it more often, but I'm sure I'd look too conspicuous.
Of course, it would be fun to stand out once in a while, but then I'd have to argue why wearing such a hat is gentlemanly. If I try to say all of the grandest gentlemen wore these derby hats 100 years ago, my audience probably argue that 1,000 years ago the grandest gentlemen wore togas, and yet no one looks like a gentleman wearing such a thing today. I have yet to find a good counter-argument.
That being said, the hat's a good one, and I'm glad I got it. But I know better than to wear it on a windy day. Derby hats don't stay on too well.

High quality hat at a great price, September 16, 2007
This review is from: Derby Hat (Misc.)
The hat was shipped immediately after purchase and arrived safely at my doorstep within days. Upon opening, I realized that the photo does not do this piece of skull-covering any justice.
The fabric of the outer shell looks and feels very high quality and the satin/silk lining on the inside helps finish the piece and keep your hair in shape.
I could do without the feather, but then again, I'm not a real sassy guy.

I look like Mr. French from Family Affair, December 16, 2010
I Like the look and the hat arrived in perfect shape thanks to the excellent packaging. I needed a hat on these cold days and a stocking cap with a dress coat just makes you look sloppy. Great Job and made here in the USA, makes it a win-win...!
