    Akubra hat with a bit bigger brim and crown than their Campdraft?

    I'm with Jackie. the Bushman is probably the closest thing but the crown, as he pointed out, is not taller.

    Black Sheep Hat Works

    Nice Harv! We all like to preserve these old hats but sometimes they need a little help. You've added value to this hat by making it better than it was originally. i think I need to do this to a few I have. Would it be inappropriate to ask what something like this costs? I didn't see prices on...

    What do you guys think about this hat guide on YouTube?

    I think it's good that the hipster crowd or whatever this guy represents finds fedoras acceptable headgear. There is some real visceral hate for fedora wearers out there. However, I found the vid unwatchable. Turned him off about 30 seconds in.

    Looks great, Fruno! You're really getting the hang of this. Isn't it very satisfying to spruce up an old hat?

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    For the record folks, there was no buy-it-now option. It was a regular auction. then it disappeared and I found it in the completed listings with a buy-it-now for $125 that wasn't offered initially. If you think this is fair business, fine. I contacted this seller and told them they were robbed...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Gripe; Once again I've seen a hat I wanted to bid on disappear only to find a completed listing for a very low Buy-it-now price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-BORSALINO-ALLESSANDRIA-FEDORA-GRAY-HAT-SIZE-7-1-2-MADE-IN-ITALY-/261994606057?hash=item3d00186de9 Somebody obviously talked an...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    If I recall correctly Alan dated this one to the late 20's (1925-30). I have one other Stetson from this period that is very similar in most details although it is missing the liner so this one is a good get for me. No lot number on the inside of the sweatband like other pre-1940 Stetson's I've...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Thanks, you guys give me too much credit! This was actually me trying to do G.durand's modified cattleman crease. Something about it suited the Akubra's. Hearty felt that's good for experimenting with different creases. I just wish it were a little thinner, can't quite get as "tight" a pinch...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm waiting for this little gem; Whippet, long oval, near perfect. Not cheap in my 7 1/2 size. You'd think for a hat that was over $300 the cheap SOB selling it could at least provide a tracking number? Nope! Annoying

    Akubra Campdraft

    Good hat at a cheap price, no reason not to get one less than a quarter inch difference (brim) between the Camp Draft and the Bushman
