A couple of weeks ago I couldn't pronounce Akubra...now I have one...
Thanks to the education I received in this forum I aquired the Akubra Overland. I like it a lot...I only wish the pictures were as pretty as the hat... -
No Fedoras but our heads are warm
I think I remember the bomber caps from years ago. Actually, this is supposedly an authentic Russian Sailors hat unless it is a fake and I can't imagine why someone would make fake hats like this. I bought it from an importer of such things who had set up a table at one of our gunshows. I never... -

No Fedoras but our heads are warm
Trying to learn how to post pictures...hope it works. This is the only picture I had handy with hats in it...its a pic of some of the family taking Christmas eve dinner outdoors during a dog sledding trip last year. I'm the one that looks like a dork in the Russian Sailors cap...that thing... -
Akubra Overload
I bought the hat from David Morgan...I couldn't ask for better service and they did include the shims but I didn't like the way they felt and I'd rather start my first hat experience without resorting to a makeshift approach...I'm pretty anal about that sort of thing, One interesting thing... -

Akubra Overload
Hi Selvaggio Nice Family...I have 5 kids too. I hear what you are saying. The hat is loose enough so that it will slide right off when I just bend over with any head motion at all. I have asked the vendor about it and suggested, if they didn't have a better idea, that they go ahead and... -
Akubra Overload
Actually I received the hat Sat...really fast delivery. Up to this point in my life I have only wore baseball caps when I wore a hat at all but I have always had a latent desire for a western style hat but never acted on it because I thought a cowboy hat just didn't look right on me. I... -
Akubra Overload
According to their website they don't carry Akubra. Perhaps I'll pay them a visit one day to see what a hat shop is like. -
Akubra Overload
Well, keep in mind I don't really know what I'm doing. My Criteria went along these lines: I think the vintage fedora type hats a lot of you wear are very nice and I like the look but I'm not sure I am a fedora type person. Since I know nothing of vintage quality it would not do for me to... -
Akubra Overload
I like the sound of that...sorta rolls off the tongue. I have no hat wearing friends nor do I own any hats...just ordered my first one. Now I'll know how to tell my san-sa-hat friends what it is on my head. Is this a great country or what...a couple days ago I never heard of Akubra. A day... -

Very cool candid flight jacket pics, with a bit of history thrown in!
My dad was on the Lexington (the Blue Ghost) in the Pacific including Iwo Jima but I never was able to get him to talk about it. War is indeed hell! I don't understand how those guys were able to maintain their sanity...- xwray

Smallville: Absolute Justice
I enjoyed this but had a bit of difficulty figuring out what the relationships were...obviously a lot has changed since the last time I watched Smallville a couple years ago. This may get me watching again...is/was the Justice Society a part of the current episodes? However, I did not like...- xwray

Cowboys You Might Remember
When I was a kid there were 4 theatres in town one of which played mostly westerns. They had a stage with a large elevator platform, sorta like a carrier elevator that lifts aircraft to the flight deck. Every Saturday they would show a double feature western and a couple of cartoons, a serial...- xwray

Moth Damage Repair
Probably a dumb question but where are those moths coming from...how did they get into the closet...are eggs riding in on, for instance, ebay or other used purchases? I don't believe I've ever seen a moth fly into my house...flies, mosquitoes, an occasionl bee, and even a bird or two has come... -
really vintage hats
I hope I'm not out of line here but I didn't know where else to post this. It's a motion picture taken from a trolley running up Market street in 1906 San Francisco not too long before the quake. I found it quite interesting...not a bare head in sight which is why I thought it would best fit... -

james cameron's AVATAR in 3-D
I dont think it would be comfortable without the glasses...not nearly as bad as watching the colored 3D without the glasses but more subtle in it's effect. I believe what might be happening is that the 3D effect is created by alternating differently polarized images - one image at a time - on...- xwray
