New full time hat wearer - that self-conscious feeling
I have done a lot of lurking on this forum and have asked a few questions and benefit a lot from your answers. So I felt that it was my turn to make a contribution. I have really liked hats for a long time. I have tried many on. Bought a few, sold some, bought more. I liked wearing hats when we... -
Akubra Campdraft
Hi. I really like all the photos of the Campdraft and I've decided I "need" one. But I just can't decide which colour to get (first). I really like fawn hats. I have a Banjo Paterson (custom modified with a CD ribbon and rebashed it a few times) in Heritage Fawn, Fed IV Deluxe in Heritage Fawn... -

Reshaping an Akubra Federation IV
So when I apply steam and push out the bash won't there be creases in the felt? How do I make the crown smooth so it looks like an open crown hat again? -

Hat Ribbons
Neither. Just friction. The leather band I bought was an adjustable loop. I slipped it over the crown into place and pulled it as tight as I could. Then I slid the leather band off again, made it a little tighter again and then gently forced it back on. After about 10 minutes of wear it... -

Hat Ribbons
Hi all. Other than my intro this is my first "real" post. I have a black Akubra Bogart. I enjoy wearing it but I don't like the black ribbon on a black hat look (for me). I have removed the ribbon and fitted a plaited kangaroo leather band on the hat. I think it gives the hat a more... -
