The Black Hat Brigade
The Hassidim mens heads are covered inside at functions and during service at the synagogue and yes even when eating diner. It is THEIR religious "Etiquette" which is different from Gentiles. When I went to my friends daughters wedding, and they were Hassidim, I kept my hat on all during the... -
The Black Hat Brigade
Did you notice all the hat carriers that were given out? I would imagine they were donated by Bencraft Hatters in Brooklyn. -
The Black Hat Brigade
That's what I thought when I wore my black one to my friends' daughters wedding two weeks ago. Though most were Borsolino's :) -
is Bogart wearing two different hats in the same movie here?
I'd have to say it's the same hat in all three of your screen captures. In B&W film, colors are reduced to tones of grey and all three of these shots show the hat in the same tone of grey. This would lead me to think it was the same hat and if not, it was the same model and color in each one... -
If you had $250 budget. What hat would you buy the same day and why.
I'm guessing from what you say, standard US shipping times of 3to 5 days would be acceptable to you? This would rule out any OZ retailers for an Akubra, so I would personally ( without any style or color preferences given by you) go for an Akubra or two from one of the 3/4 US retailers or my... -

If you had $250 budget. What hat would you buy the same day and why.
Since you don't want to wait, it would depend on what brick and mortar retailer you were buying from had to offer. The way you've described your wants, NOTHING would work that you had to ORDER . So where are you buying from, and what do they have in the way of hat brands to offer? You want to... -

Interesting photo RBH. You don't see many US farmers wearing coats and ties even back then. Are they Aussies by chance? -
Hat articles vintage or new
Here's one about a very active though not well known segment of the Fedora/Felt fraternity from the NY Times back in 2009 http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/10/nyregion/10hats.html Click on the "More Photos" link and there's a nice slide show of the hats as worn by this community. -

Post New Hats Here!
Sorry to hear of your problems creasing your Akubra's. " ... When you crease this felt, it bunches up in strange ways. " are you refering to the Heritage model in particular? Your photo shows a VERY NICELY done Teardrop in your Heritage felt CD, what don't you like about it ? I do not have an... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
To be honest, what does it matter if it has side dents, front pinch or none? It's YOUR hat and should reflect what YOU want it to look like :) -
Akubra Overload
That Pilbara looks good on ya !! Welcome to the Akubra club! They are great hats and truly a great value in a production made hat today! I've been wearing 'em for over 30 years now and really haven't found a bad one yet :) -
The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

The Black Hat Brigade
I love it Sam ".... Sort of a Noir Indy thing...." :) -
I love the Fed IV!!
When I'm wearing my felts in the cooler weather they all go on a hook on the hat rack/hall stand by my front door. When I put them up for summer they go in the boxes they came with and I "snap" all brims up to store 'em. When I get 'em out a little steam gets the front of the brims just right... -
Akubras for a Steal

Akubra Overload
Since you are a convinced Akubra owner ( welcome to the club BTW :) ) and I've worn 'em for over 30 years now I'll give you my opinions about your questions. You need to provide the ANSWERS. #1. I'm 2" taller than you and a few #s heavier and own and wear both a DM Stylemaster in Carbon Grey...
