    Hot damn. 5/8 ended up 7 5/8 instead of 6 5/8. Lucky! Looks like a great hat. Shame you didn’t win it. Johnny

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    Thanks. And thanks for the reminder. I have been thinking of giving it a bit of a brushing, get the dust off, then hitting it with Scotchguard to help protect it and keep the dirt and grime from getting into it. Johnny

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Akubra Snowy River to work today and swapped out to the Indian Pith when I got home. Another heat wave this week. It’s been an odd year. These flowers don’t usually start to bloom for another month.

    Any pictures of what you have in mind? Unless a vintage hat, a lot of “sharp” creases get there over time. Rain storms and man handling. There is a technique I learned with old scout hats that may work but let me know what you have in mind and I may be able to give you better direction. Johnny

    That’s some good Company information. The catalog I was looking at was in a hat shop from around 2002-3 era. Don’t have a copy myself. They let me look at it to see if I wanted to order something in. So I am working off of 20 year old memory. According to the wife that not very reliable. Kind...

    I remember first seeing this style in the Biltmore Catalog. Last owner before it got bought out by Hatco. The company was focusing on the urban market, so the catalog said. Lots of short crown, stingy brims in real flash colours. Made for big city people. Very much Steve Martin’s character. Johnny

    Who makes Steve’s hats? I read Goorin brothers did the matching hat bands for the outfits but who made the hats? Yes I know they are probably wool numbers but Mr. Martin looks sharp as a tack in this series. Johnny

    I know this will get moved to the “ask a question” or “stingy brims” thread but thought I would give it a shot on the open forum first. Who makes Steve’s hats?

    Tilleys are pretty fantastic. They are also the reason all my fedoras look so good. If I am going to be sweating and doing hard work I wear my Tilley or pith helmet so they take the brunt of abuse. Johnny

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Now that looks like fun. If I was wearing the Super Genius hat I would take up the annoying habit of calling everyone George. Even the girls. Wear them in good fun man.

    Art Fawcett VS hats. Crossover. Always get Indians Jones comments when wearing this hat. Today was no exception. Johnny

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    That is Sunbody version of the Stetson “Open Road”. Stetson does still make that model but it comes pre-creased in a cattleman’s style. To get the look you are going for your two best options are the Akubra campdraft. It comes open crown so you can style it how you like. With shipping is roughly...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    To be fair the white ones are usually low end wool with elastic sweat bands for the people that only bring them out once a year to wear at the stampede. Smithbilt does offer a full range of felts at higher price points. It also should be said it’s not the most stable company. I have heard it has...

    I have two wool hats in my collection. One is an older Dobbs. Great shape, really rough wool but good hat all the same. The other is a Smithbilt Scout hat. Seen lots of camping and rain. Could use stiffening but has never shrunk at all. Johnny

    When I look at some of the hat pages on Facebook there are a lot of fancy coloured fedoras out there. I can garantee they are not fur felt but look damn good. I think there is a great market for hats at that price point. With Akubra hats now being about $200 Canadian I can see the temptation for...
