: Hallo, all!
: Christmas is almost here, and so is my wish for a fedora. I want to get a Stetson called The Temple, as many of you know, but I tried some on at a hat store. I think my head has grown: I tried one on in the summer and I was a 7 1/8. Now a 7 1/4 fits better!:-(
: Anyway,
: There are two colors. "Nugat" and "Sable". I tend to like the light reddish-brown "Nugat" over the Sable. Can anyone help me as to what color is most "accurate?"
: Adventurously,

Either color would be ok, although I don't understand why some folks keep buying the temple. Sure it does have a nice dimensional cut brim, but it also has a tapered crown that is wrong. It destroys the Indy look in my opinion. I bought one a couple of years ago and ended up giving it away. I then bought a Nostalgia and it was closer but still not quite right. The crown was too short. I then forked out big bucks for a Custom Hatter fedora that was perfect. To date this is the closest Indy fedora that I have seen. Problem is the price. My new search involves a dark brown Akubra that I am impatiently waiting on. Maybe it will turn out to be the resonable one to use. steve
