I had no idea the brim dimensions on Todd's hats were so different. I've never seen 3 inch front to 2.5 inch sides... and definitely not 3 inch front to 2.25 inch sides! They look like decent hats, but not something I could see myself wearing... But nice review none the less :)

I think the downtowner looks better on you... the brim dimensions suit your face better.

I dont know if its because Im so used to seeing you in your downtowner, or because maybe you have a big head (no disrespect intended), but, on you, the DT looks 'right,' and the UT looks too small, in proportion t your face and head. Again, if I had seen you in the UT first and often, then my opinion might be reversed in that the UT would look 'right,' and the DT would look too big.

Thanks for the review. This is a great way to get an idea of what the hats are like, especially the less expensive ones since the ABs and Penmans get LOTS of press here.

I might suggest the natural lighting of the outdoors to 'show' the felt color, bashing and dimesions better. jmo.

i wanted to, but the tree is a 50 year old tree and takes up alot of the back yard
but it least it still shows the true color of the hats
i might have do it from the font yard maybe pics will suffice

Looking better with that one, I'd say, indyclone. Those dimensions suit you much more than the other.

How'd you get that nice top crease on your old one? Mine kinda flattens out a tad in the back (almost tear-drop-like).
