Re: All of the "Close Enough" Boots?

Anyone have wide feet? I have flat Fred Flintstone feet, and doubt if I could fit into some of the boots, as their toes are too narrow. I usually where Vasque hiking boots as my normal shoe, because they have wide toes and good ankle support.

Which boots would be a good choice for wider feet?

Indy fedora from Buckaroo Hatters?

I've only heard good things about Mr. Moore and Buckaroo Hatters. I am looking at getting a dark gray fedora, likely similar to the Pan Am Clipper, to match my dark gray suit. Have any folks had an Indy style fedora made by Mr. Moore? I'd love to see examples. I'm also wondering at the colors of gra...
