Photos of hatters tools
It's great to hear from you, Rick, and great that you're still interested in making hats, along with all the other things you do. ;) -
USPS Ground Advantage Gripes
I've had five packages shipped via USPS from all over the country over the last three days, including one hat from a member here. Every single one of them was flagged with "ALERT! Processing exception - Regional weather delay" at the origin point. All five of them, from various regions of the... -

OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
It may indeed be Bran. I was thinking it might be another color they used to offer called Acorn Fawn. I always liked that color but it had been discontinued, apparently, about the time I got interested in "good" hats ;), and was no longer available in anything my size. I remember someone, maybe... -

I really like the colors on that hat. Should you decide you can't make it work for you, please let me know by PM. I may be interested in it. Thanks! -
Bib overalls and suit jackets
Can't say I've ever seen bib britches "bloused" like that before, except with rubber boots to work in barnyard muck. Interesting!- Woodtroll

Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
Funny you say that - did the photo catch her peeping around the corner to see what you were up to with those hats? :D And don't dare try the "you have more shoes than I have hats" argument with her; that never turned out well for me. Thanks for the comparison! -
Akubra Lightning Ridge
Excellent, it does indeed help. Thank you for the followup! Now I just have to find one in size 62... ;) -
So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Best wishes to you! I hope it turns out to be nothing unusual.- Woodtroll

Akubra Lightning Ridge
Interesting, and congratulations! I thought the crown height on the Lightning Ridge and Banjo Paterson were very similar, just based on what I've read here. If it's a half inch taller, I'll start scouring the auction sites for a used one myself! -
Ask a question, get an answer
Does Akubra tack the corners of their wide bows and ribbons with small stitches? Even if they did, I can't imagine that any high holes from tacking could not be massaged out of the felt, especially if it were new. I replaced the ribbon and bow on my Adventurer some years ago, but I don't... -

Today in History
We Scots-Irish tend to have long memories, especially of wrongs inflicted on us. I lost family (before my time, of course) in WWII, and right or wrong I refuse to ever own a Japanese or German vehicle.- Woodtroll

Today in History
09-11-2001. Never forget those we lost that day and the people that carried this off. Never forget how united we were in the days following, and hope that one day we will be again.- Woodtroll

Randall Renshaw Restorations
Nice job on that hat, Randall! I really like the detailing (stitching and ribbon). Randy, it looks great on you, congratulations! -
Akubra Campdraft
I own a handful of different Akubras and the felt can be different from one to the other. Some of them are fairly stiff, so take this for what it's worth: If your felt feels stiff at all, take the time to either steam it or dampen it with a misting spray and let it soak in before you manipulate... -
