    Rubber Boots

    Canadian tire specials. Only get used with soggy wet weather. Spring melt. rainy summer days, working the in-laws garden. Maybe a few times a year. Still going strong. This winter I may have to invest in proper winter Bogs/mucks. Rated to -40 Celsius Johnny

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    But is it the normal Spy vs Spy or is it the fold in special? Spot the Mad magazine fans here. :p:p

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    I actually really like the green. I think the colour pops nicely. Kind of reminds me of the fun silliness you see at summer festivals and events. Like classic car shows and music festivals. One of the reasons I shy away from black hats is the details get lost. Outside of a bright summers day i...

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    I can’t wait to see the actual hats. Bummer about the colour. Maybe cover it with pins/buttons to distract from the colour. Hope you find time and occasion to wear them both. Johnny PS don’t forget the pictures.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Looking good. Great start on your hat wearing journey. I will give you a little maintenance advice. I am sure the hat come with some built in weather resistant but as it is a wool hat I would give it a coat of Scotchgard every 3-4 months to keep it from getting wet and shrinking. Not sure if you...

    Help with Panama hat for the summer heat

    Akubra Balmoral is a great choice. Hemp is a fantastic material and should be serviceable for years with proper care. I mean store it properly so it doesn't loose it’s shape or get crushed. In fact at those prices and your budget you can get one balmoral and buy a Panama and compare the two...

    Help with Panama hat for the summer heat

    First thing I will say is not all material block light equally. That’s why there are tests you can be done to rate the products. The three company I know of that fits your bill are Akubra, Sunbody and Tilley. All have UPF factors on their hats. For summer wear I would choose Sunbody. They have...

    Looking good my friend. Feather looks nice as well. I have a Canadian goose feather in mine. A trick I found to keep my brim crisp is to snap it up all the way around when not wearing it. Wear it in good health Johnny

    Akubra Overload

    I use cold water. If I am rehashing a hat I give it a good soak (outside only) then use one of my kids balls as a block to jam it in there to pop it out more open crown. Keep in mind unless done professionally you may still have some ghost lines. They will fade with time though. If the pork pie...

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    I can see wearing this cap when curling up with a book on a cold winters night. As you say it’s the kind of hat to annoy the right kind of people. In Canada Amazon is slightly cheaper when you factor in currency conversion and shipping. You can always buy two. A green and black. Just a...

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    The colours are deceptive. You need to look at the Instagram page to get a better idea. The red is actually orange, the green is more of a moss colour. Really weird. The toss up between this and a fez as a fun useles hat, I think I choose Jughead. At least give me a place to display my pin...
