    The bow inside the hat

    Sure, Bring em back. Its a cool detail. We like a historically accurate recreation of a vintage hat. How many of us use that funny little windy trolly cord and button but we keep em because they're historically accurate and cool looking

    Adios Smith & Wesson

    No big. I only buy their older stuff. Don't care for the new production stuff and never cared for their hi barrel axis semi autos. Ill stick with the old 1911 or 19-2 snubby.

    Aero interior pocket

    If you really need a pocket inside ask them if they'll make a patch pocket out of the liner material attached to the liner. I obtained some drill from Carrie and added a c-phone/ID/pen/eye glass pocket to mine.

    how many leather jacket should you have?

    I just got my second. You haven't caught the bug yet if you have to ask the question. From what I've read here, 37 sounds about right. It'll cost you a few wives though. I think the ratio is 7-1

    Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

    Whatever you do, don't leave in on a table brim down. This can promote mold stain which does not come out. let air circulate around all the hat. I left one on a towel once and the towel held the moisture and mold showed up on the brim.

    Akubra Campdraft

    I pull my reeds. Never had any problems with out them but you can leave them in if you think the hat will stretch too big while wearing it. I wear a long oval so it works for me but its not that dramatic and probably won't have much adverse effect. I find that if I pull on a hat that is more...

    Vintage neon signs

    It was cool to see The Sportsman on page one. Its where I live... Sonora...not The Sportsman...I don't live in The Sportsman. Many do....Not me... . Done quite a few firearms transfers there. Tis a small world.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Xylophile. I use the straight sided dome plastic crown mold from Hatshapers.com. Check em out. I have three. I pull the liner, remove the ribbon and cut out the sweat by snipping the thread. I get the hat body wet and use an iron over an old t-shirt to apply heat to the felt as I slowly pull it...

    Akubra Campdraft

    My Campdraft experience: Just thought I'd weigh in. I have three Akubras, a Campdraft in Deluxe Heritage (thick and stiff), a Bushman in Imperial (thin and pliable) and a Down under which I converted to a fedora. Many say they are great in the rain but my experience is different. I have never...

    My Blue Heaven

    My brother in law received a poet as a gift. Not impressed. He put a little steam on it to correct the bash and it collapsed. Now its taper all around. Looks like a salad bowl. Poor quality bunny I assume. You pay for the name and don't dare wear it outside. I've tried to get him to let me take...

    Using natural beeswax as a waterproof/protective finish???

    Staight bees wax would not be advisable on a jacket. It must be heated to apply and gets hard again when it cools so not good for a flexible garment like a jacket. It would need to be cut with a fat or oil. You would then need to add an essential oil scent to hide the bad smell. Good for boots...

    It finally rained in California and my old OR held up fine. Kept my hair, what little is left, nice and dry after a 1/2 hour stroll.
