    Everything Australia sale

    And was your Campdraft actually 20% off when you bought?

    Good to know, Harv; thanks!

    Everything Australia sale

    Yeah, I took a closer look and it says "up to 20%"... I'll hold off and hope for a better price come Christmas!

    Everything Australia sale

    Thanks for the heads-up, Benny. But I just had a look and I'm shown a price reduction on the Campdraft from C$130.13 to C$123.12. I make that ~5.3% and I notice other discounts vary but are nowhere near 20%. Is there a code or something?

    I've had success in both stretching and shrinking hats to size. However, I also snapped the sweatband on a Biltmore that was only one size too small. I was (and remain) upset by that. The sweatband claimed it was "leather" but if so, it was a very low quality leather! The Akubra sweatbands have...

    Hats on TV

    Neither would I. I've just finished watching the latest season on Netflix... Not sure if it has been mentioned, but Walt's (Taylor) hat is made by O'Farrell.

    And I'll echo both sentiments above. Perhaps this is an issue unique to Canada, but one should NEVER agree to have an international package delivered by UPS here. UPS is a vast criminal organization specializing in "fee" shakedowns. In all seriousness, I do not understand why they are permitted...

    Sweet. I'd like to find one too!

    I've ordered from Australian Gear and experienced much slower delivery than promised (34 days as opposed to the 8-12 days stated), but the hat did arrive in good condition and - thanks to a Christmas Eve sale - at a very good price.

    Australian Gear?

    I thought I'd add my experience with Australian Gear too... I was visiting my mother over Christmas in Newfoundland, Canada. Mom gave me some money for a Christmas present and as I had been coveting a Banjo Paterson for some time, I ordered from AG on Christmas Eve as they were offering a 24%...

    The shocking loss of another brilliant talent. Prince has died.

    Haha! I'm pretty sure it is, but he was a talent. He lived here in Toronto for a few years in a very tony part of town... And yes; it has been a terrible few months for musicians!!!

    Good source for buying hatbands? Where?

    Hey, that's a great idea! I'm going to check out my local shops... Hard to believe a belt - even a woman's belt - wouldn't be FAR too large for a hatband!

    I had a Balmoral in the Cart for just that reason, but decided (at the last moment) that it would have to wait! Now I have Non-Buyer's Regret!

    A long-desired Banjo Paterson is en route for $157CAD delivered! Too bad the C$ is in the crapper so bad right now or this would have been a spectacular deal... Cheers, Motorcyclist! :D

    Aha! Thanks! The discount makes the price at Australian Gear cheaper than Everything Australian...

    Really?! That would be great, but it doesn't seem to work for me. :( Have a special link you can share?

    Interesting Incident at a Hat-Shop

    Bump! So, did you ever discover more information on this hat, Shangas? Very mysterious and interesting...

    Post New Hats Here!

    I bought the Canadian-made Biltmore pictured in my avatar from Pauly. Not only was his price good, but he was very easy to work with, communicated well, had very reasonable shipping (a BIG consideration when living in Canada), and shipped amazingly fast. In fact, he offered to pay the RETURN...
