    Hat Storage

    I would be careful of blowing hot air so close to the hats. Maybe farther away on the way

    That's it, I'm out. The ADS ARE RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hate to say it- it's the new era. Everything is changing. Ads galore here. Akubra getting rid of good hat models. Ebay gonna start reporting sales to IRS next year. Turn this ship around, I wanna go back!

    Akubra Overload

    Got some Akubras and took out the liners to make them lighter. I figured they are not really needed as i don't use hair gel like they did back in the 50s and removing them lighten themv quite a bit. Wonder if anyone would want them??

    Phoenix Hat Company

    That's okay, I'm pretty much done with hat buying now. It'd take alot of activation energy for me to buy a custom. It's just sad that the hat industry appears to be dying out.

    Akubra Heritage Fawn vs Tawny Fawn

    I received the Fed IVs and immediately bashed them with an initial IJ style. Need to steam them and get the brims just right... The TF is definitely darker than i had hoped, but it's still nice. More like a mid brown. Was aiming for lighter, like the beige vintage Marathon OR clone. But it's...

    Akubra Campdraft

    I'm pretty bummed too that Akubra is discontinuing a bunch of hats. I lucked out and grabbed the last 3 Heritage Campdrafts that hatsdirect had, only because I emailed trudy. I guess the d/cd hats are going the way of vintage, need to get used or new old stock if you can ever find any...

    Guess not.

    Holton, sometimes that happens to me too. Don't take it personally as things can just around in here. I think that if there is a pause or someone answers anothers post, a post may be overlooked. Sometimes mine totally goes unanswered so its best to repost somewhere else or post again if it gets...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    My Fed IVs are in San Fran and should be headed my way! Actually been more excited about these new hats, compared to some vintage hats that I've recently received.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Quick question. How do you all choose which hat to wear each day? You all must have bunch; I have boxfulls of hats and oftentimes just grab the same one out of sheer convenience. Do you choose by color, type, next in hat rotation, etc?

    Akubra questions

    Hey Johnny, what do you use to moisturize your bands? I want something that is non toxic to my sensitive big ol forehead. Does like skin moisturize work on the bands, like OOL or similar? May be a silly question, but am curious of your thoughts.

    Akubra Overload

    Just to share my experiences with my new CD, I recently purchased the Campdraft Deluxe in SB. My understanding is that you should steam/add moisture first before shaping, to avoid the spidering. I think it was mentioned on an older video of a review of the CD (you'll have to look on the FL...

    Akubra Heritage Fawn vs Tawny Fawn

    Thanks guys for your input and the photo. Just received word that the tawny fawn and brown deluxe are on the way! Looking forward to seeing the color in person

    Akubra Overload

    Yes, I seem to be reaching for my CD, perhaps out of laziness as many of my hats are in boxes and this one is left out. I am finding that the Akubra is my antidote for vintage hat acquisition syndrome! Been putting a bunch of vintages on Ebay that I'll never really wear so why keep?

    Akubra Heritage Fawn vs Tawny Fawn

    I know what you mean about the sweatband! It's addictive. I have some heritage CDs and a bushman, and seem to reach for the CD deluxe. But I do love the rare yellowish color to the TF, so I was torn. So will give it a chance, guess I could always sell it if needed...
