    BOGARTS FEDORA

    If the bound brim isn't an issue, I'd say grab an Akubra Campdraft. I absolutely love mine. It can withstand all kinds of weather and will take any bash you want to put into it.

    Show Us Your Pedigree! The Heritage Thread.

    On Mum's side, both Grandma and Grandpa are pretty much pure Norwegian (with maybe a bit of Swedish thrown in as well). On Dad's side, it's a mixed bag. Pappa was mostly Norwegian, but throw in some Swedish, German and a pinch of Cherokee as well. Nanna was a mix of German, English and Irish.
