: : : Hey, does anyone out there wear their fedoras in the summer? I have to admit that I retire mine until autumn comes around. (and I hate doing it!) Down here in the south the heat and humidity is just too much for me. My main hat now is a Stetson Markham, totally reshaped into the fedora style, and with the brim cut down to the proper dimensions. It looks like Indy's fedora, only in the straw that Panamas are constructed of. I had to alter this hat because I have been unable to find a fedora in straw that has a wide enough brim. Steve

I find mine useful in the same manner, but usually while videotaping those long lectures you professors like to do. (grins) Regards. Michaelson
