    Akubra Overload

    I don’t think I have ever been that hungry. That was my naughty bird Nora. I have since started calling her godzilla. A temperamental Indian Ringneck.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Nice choice. Has a very Rick Simon vibe. From Simon and Simon. Can’t wait to see what it looks like when it comes in.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Rainy day/week. Toggling between my Coolabah and my snowy River. Stealing my wife’s candle holder as drying racks. Works really well.

    Beaver Brand impressions?

    Sounds like a good deal. Mine sure feels like it’s at least 100% rabbit or better. I finally shaped mine last year. Brim was off. I put it on a hat stand and put it under a cold shower for about 5 minutes to give it a good soak. Molded the brim to the shape I wanted and just let it naturally...

    Beaver Brand impressions?

    If its anything like the one I have that looks similar, its going to be a good serviceable hat. Is it worth hundreds of dollars and of quality of a bygone era? Probably not. But if you were looing for a serviceable western hat that will not put you back the cost of a modern 6X hat, you probably...

    Western, anyone?

    Nope just sitting on it. Sitting on my front deck whittling. A Simple rubber band would hold it on. But would probably be illegal or at least upset all the right people. Johnny

    I will have to try and dig up my original post. But here is mine that looks like it came from the same family tree. Johnny

    Western, anyone?

    Great looking hat. How do you keep such a light coloured hat looking so good? Johnny

    Western, anyone?

    Some of my hats I just never know where to post. As a western Canadian this is what cowboy hats looked like at the turn of last century. But it’s also a campaign hat. My Smithbilt Scout. Johnny

    Your first hat

    Doesent look to be in bad condition. Send it away to be re-block and put it back into your circulation. Johnny

    Stratton straw Police hats

    They have nice campaign hats. Straw ones as well. But as a Canadian they are bashed off Center. Can’t see if they make a commonwealth version. Johnny

    H’oly Grail Westerns and Fedoras

    Interesting question on “Holy Grail” western and Fedoras. For a while the Stetson Whippet was one of the most sought after hats on the lounge. Than the Stetson playboy. A lot go for the Open road. But are they the highest quality on the planet? Just style? Brand recognition? I have fantastic...

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    I will try to stop and show how I made one this weekend. Sorry for the delay.

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    Looks like a great find to me. And it sure looks like you got the crown back in a good shape. I love pith helmets but don’t know the history. I know there is a very knowledgeable group on Facebook you could join that would probably help. Johnny Wear it in good health.

    Akubra Overload

    My experience is Akubras with bound brims have thinner felt. Cattleman, Coober Pedy, Tablelands. I have a cattleman and my sister has the Coober Pedy. Both are significantly thinner than any of my other Akubra hats. Johnny
