    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    Yard working this last weekend. My 17 year old French pith helmet. Original sweat band disintegrated a few years ago so had to make my own replacement. Been thinking of spray painting it and graffitiing it up. 1950’s style. Or going cheesy with a Jurassic park logo.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Sunny +30 Celsius on the First of May?!? That never happens. My Akubra Coolabah. I have been asked from time to time how I keep my hats so nice. This one is about 10-12 years old. It’s because I have some hard use headwear. This is my “I am going to sweat” headwear I wore yesterday cleaning...

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    Just like yours, my Vietnam made pith helmets clips have shattered and the sweat bands have disintegrated over the years. By years I mean the last 17 years. I have made my own replacement sweat bands over the years to keep them going but have always been tempted to buy new pith helmets to...

    Not sure where you will wear it? Odd question. Chill in the yard having a beer would be the top of my list. Looks great. Have fun wearing it. Now that’s it’s all fancy, you need a second “working pith for yard work. ;) Johnny

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Looks like a reputable hat shop. Nice looking hat. Very Jack Lemmon in “Good neighbour Sam”, mid 60’s look. Great discount from retail pricing as well. I cant see how you can loose. It is a modern Stetson so I don’t know the quality of the felt. I have one from the late 90’s that’s needs a hit...

    Tilley Travels

    Brand new Tilley Montana. Second one this season. This time in a navy blue. Made of wool with ear flaps. Got one earlier this winter in black as I found one at a great price at Winners (TJX for my USA friends) but this last weekend the remainder went on clearance. So now I have a few more to...

    Akubra slouch hat

    I have seen pugs put on all sorts of Akubras. The territory and cattleman look really good but you can put a pug on any hat. I have even seen them put on old army campaign hats. Johnny

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    Loaded question. Most people view 2.5” brim to be a standard fedora brim and a 3” and up to be a western. Then you have an Open Road that is both City and country. As for your Stetsonian feeling big. That’s a new hat wearing feeling. I felt my Akubra Federation to me massive until I got used to...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    My first federation back in 2001 had a red liner. Didn’t show the grime neatly as quickly. My second is a Federation III Deluxe from 2005 ish and the same as yours. Grimy white liner and About due for a new one. They are great hats and last a good amount of time. Johnny
