    what do you do ...?

    Same here, g.durand. While performance bike helmets are cheaper than vintage lids, they're unfortunately nowhere near as stylish. Keep the rubber side down!

    I don't know, stuntman and funerals do go hand-in-hand.

    what do you do ...?

    Alan, your images are absolutely STUNNING (and I use that word sparingly). I'm seriously eying prints of "Cheri's Sun" and "The Roots of Life." Just have to wait to A) Win the lottery, or B) Get my bonus. Are you familiar with the flick "The Fountain?" If not check it out. It's one of my...

    what do you do ...?

    Great post, Moon. Makes complete sense that we're seeing so many musicians on a hat forum. In my social circles (I'm a young'ish dude) they're the only ones wearing lids. Me: Architecture pays the bills — although I'm in marketing, and spend most of my time writing or behind a camera lens. Also...

    Which looks better -- a Stetson Open Road or an Akubra Campdraft with a Cattlemen's Bash?

    Not a fan of the Cattleman, but if I were, this is exactly how I'd do it. Modern Stetsons pale in comparison to a modern Akubra, IMHO. - m

    Hatco catalogs

    http://www.hat-co.com/perch//resources/f16-stetson-dress-catalog.pdf I'm eying a few lids in the spring dress catalog already — the Stetsonian in Light Gray in particular. Anyone know when these new lids actually hit the street? Thanks, - m

    Anybody have a large hat collection?

    Holy Mad Hatter, Batman!

    Assorted Vintage Ribbon & Windcords.

    bond, I'm interested in the windcord lot. Not sure how to send a private message here, however. If you do, send me a note, and we'll synch up. Done deal! Thanks, - m

    Akubra Campdraft

    After re-bashing to something civilized (teardrop, in this case), my RM became the go-to lid in my rotation.

    Akubra Campdraft

    I can only vouch from my experience, but my mid-brown RM lid has zero green cast to it.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Circling back to TopicalBob's post after purchasing my first CD. At the time, I thought he was looney, now I think he's a fortune teller — EVERYTHING else on my noggin seems tiny these days.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Brims up!

    Akubra Campdraft

    I had the exact same experience with my RM: hands down the stiffest lid I've ever owned. That being said, it has softened up nicely after a few weeks of wear, and is now my #1 lid in the rotation.

    Stetson racine in size 7

    Got mine directly from Stetson a few weeks back, and it's just now getting some wear. The orange band is certainly NOT subtle. But remember, Tasya will always wear hers better than either of us!

    Gustin to make jackets?

    I dig these guys. Own several pairs of jeans, all slim fit, and they're top quality. I'm wearing their trucker jacket as I type this. It's on par with Filson's for half the shekels — capitalism at it's finest! The jacket shown above? Meh...

    Akubra Campdraft

    I've seen several posts on these forums showing Campdrafts in mid-brown. When did they stop producing that color as a stock option (5 years ago, 10, 15)? Can Hats Direct (or anyone else, for that matter) place custom orders for Campdrafts in colors available in other Akubra models? Reasonable...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Each one of you is a bad influence (on my pocketbook). How tall is the crown on a Fed IV? Hats Direct doesn't list it online.

    Akubra Campdraft

    "Chocolate Brown" makes my ears perk up. Since it's modern, when and where did you pick it up? The color looks quite a bit lighter than the current RM Hat.

    Akubra Campdraft

    That's a keeper, Jack. Modern? Vintage? The ribbon shows some wear (in all the right ways).

    Akubra Campdraft

    "As so often in Vettriano, the hat becomes a form of disguise, a means of shutting out inquiry. His characters like to look, but not all of them like to be looked at." - From Jack Vettriano, published by Pavilion
