    Brand Name hat boxes

    Beaver Brand boxes I once got a western Beaver Brand that came with a box.I bought the western in person at a store. Later I ordered from an online merchant a Beaver Brand Classic and it didn't come with a box. Did Beaver Brand stop making boxes? Are Beaver Brand boxes only included in certain...

    I have a Bailey Gahan.It's a fur felt with a 1&1/2 inch brim.The brim is made of really thin felt.The brim is too soft to snap up or down.It just kind of sticks right out.And the brim is very wavy which makes the hat look rather sloppy. It's been like this since it was brand new.The brim was...

    Akubra Hampton/Whippet

    I'm going to special order and wait three months.But I don't mind waiting because where I live wearing a fur felt seems to be out of the question this time of year.It gets about 112°F. Even very late at night it's still around 90°F.So I'm wearing straw hats right now.

    Akubra Overload

    I think I will get a Chatham.I had previously considered getting a Stetson Temple in sage.But I decided not to because of the black band.I prefer hats with matching bands.So I like how the Chatham has a matching band.

    Akubra Hampton/Whippet

    Thanks for the info.Now I know what to expect with an Akubra thyme green,bluegrass green,and fern green.I like the look of thyme. How about Akubra's glade green?What does the glade color look like?Is it a brighter shade of green than thyme?

    Akubra Hampton/Whippet

    Akubra's thyme green and glade green I'm trying to decide between the Akubra Hampton in thyme green or the Akubra Whippet in glade green.Unfortunately I can't seem to find any pictures of these hats showing showing the colors.So I'm not quite sure what to expect color wise.Does anyone have a...

    getting new grosgrain hat bands I have fedoras in caribou,midnight,and tawny that came with black grosgrain bands.But I prefer hats that have bands in matching colors.

    Motorcycle Jackets and a Fedora?

    I know the type of jacket from the TV show House that you are referring to.Kid Rock often wears that type of jacket with his tradmark center crease 2 1/8 brim fedora.Kid Rock often wears a Biltmore.

    Matching a Sport Coat

    Nice jacket.I would go with navy slacks. I think a navy shirt without a tie would look good.If you want to spice it up then wear a mostly navy multicolored shirt with pattern. When you want to wear a tie and be on the conservative side I would recommend wearing a white shirt with a navy tie
