Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I did reckon to look for the right one, but couldn't see anything specific. Anyway I am in the market for a new hat soon. I've had my Charles Owen one for over two years and I love it to bits, but I am thinking that maybe things are even safer now and standards change. I know when I contacted them with a photo of it about a year or so ago they said it was still current and fine. Its not been dropped / bashed etc either. However, I know it won't last forever. I am a bit old fashioned and really prefer the velvet covered ones. I know you can get covers but they aren't the same and I am lazy and would either get it dirty, lose it or wash and then lose etc. So hoping to find another good quality velvet one. I haven't done much research but would love to hear anyone's thoughts. What hat do you have currently and why? Also, are the sizes standard - I know what size I am in this brand, but not in others. My local feed merchants stock Champion and another brand. But they do not hold a lot of stock in different sizes anyway for trying on.
Thanks in advance.
