    What does taper mean?

    Tapered, is that like what the value of this thread has done?

    I like that one too. I have a Miller Hats (made by Biltmore) pork pie in the same color, and it looks exactly like that, minus the pin and feather. It's one of my favorites.

    That looks amazing, MW. It's a much finer weave, but it is as stiff as a regular boater?

    Francato Cappello "Royal Beaver" w/ pinched pork pie bash.

    Capello and Borsalino hats

    What makes you say that, Steven, other than the obviously American (or English) size tags, "Royal Beaver" designation and "Freed Hat Company" copyright? Well, as I write that, I can see what you're saying. Why would "Francato Cappello" be a copyright of Freed Hat Company if it's an Italian hat...

    Dr. Who?

    I understand what you're saying, and I agree that is more appropriate to spell it "Doctor Who," but I think of "Dr." as being an abbreviation for what in this case is used as a proper name, "Doctor," much in the same way that "Geo." is sometimes used as an abbreviation for "George."

    Capello and Borsalino hats

    I got this Francato Cappello fedora on eBay recently. I'm thinking it might be late 50's or early 60's. It's a very well made hat with excellent felt. I liked the shape of the Francato block, but with the 2 inch brim the hat looked out of proportion to me, which isn't unusual...

    Nah, that totally fits Barney Fife's off-hours style. Of course, Barney always had a bit of a wild streak.

    I could see Deputy Fife wearing that in his off hours, for sure.

    Looks cool (literally and figuratively)! lol Not a whole lot of sun protection there, though. Is that the hatband that came with it or a later add-on? It looks really good.

    Busted out the Boater-ma, aka the Panaboater, today. People seem to enjoy this hat for some reason.

    Show us your droopers and wobbly brims

    Ernest, I've never seen a Scala boater with a straight brim, not once. Ever tried ironing it on a flat surface with a steam iron? Just put a handkerchief or dishcloth in between to keep from scorching it.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Everything Australian has updated their website. If you're anything other than a size 62, step up and get your Bluegrass Green Campdrafts. I've got my size 62 preordered, so that'll be my Christmas present to myself. Hopefully the exchange rate will be favorable then.

    That looks great! Let's see a shot of that diamond crown from the top.

    Dad's Hats Customer Service?

    The fact that practically everything on their website is listed as on backorder for 4 to 6 weeks is your first warning sign.

    Akubra Campdraft

    I just heard from Sam at EA. I wanted a Bluegrass Green Campdraft in size 62, but unfortunately they got in every size but 62. :eusa_doh: They won't be getting any more in until around Christmas. :(
