Lindsey, owner of Horse Feathers western store in Taos, New Mexico, knows hats. The device he holds in his hands is a conformer from 1840s Paris. He slapped it on my head to get a sense of its shape, making a map of it that Don holds in his hand. What did we learn from this experience? That I have a “blockhead,” that I can’t wear hats with brims too long or too short. Armed with this information, I picked up a new hat in Taos that is just about perfect.
