: What are your thoughts on the Stetson Ark and Temple? Do you feel these are decent hats? And which of the two is better? Your thoughts are appreciated as I'm a little stuck between which of the many hats to choose from I should get.

I spoke to a Stetson customer rep. a while back, and was told then that the two hats start out from the same block, but they change the bend of the brim. According to the rep, the crowns are exactly the same. I agree with Steve, as the pinch isn't correct, but it can indeed be reblocked. The Ark just appears to be to much like a safari type design rather than a true Indy fedora. There are to many closer designs, such as the Indy 005 by Stetson to choose from for the same money. But if I had to chose between these two, I'd go with the Temple myself. Regards. Michaelson
