    Stetson Roundabaout vs Akubra Traveller

    My Barbi' The Olney Both quite simple plain fedoras. One of several in Lagos' flexile line, with I think are all foldable fur felts. The easy to find & often cheap Borso 'rain proof line', below. My least favorite.

    F/S 7 3/8 Long Oval Adventurebilt Raiders Fedora

    No secret. People waiting 10%-15% of an average human lifespan :rip: for the hat they paid a mere four or five bills for, some six, seven, eight years ago. It's the stuff of High Drama* over at COW, to read it you will have to register tho'. It is rather "Stockholm Syndrome"- like, imo...

    Odd Square Crease on Open Road-ish Vintage Stetson ...never seen this before; I rather like it. I may have to just snap the brim & leave the crown untouched, eh?

    Stetson Roundabaout vs Akubra Traveller

    Look too at Lagomarsino hats they make an entire line of FF flexal travel hats. Christy's make a nice FF folder, 2 3/8" brim, I think. Olney in the UK makes a nice traveler and Barbisio hats makes a fine folder. The felt feels like my tissue thin, light vintage felts. Borsalino makes at least...

    I asked Mr. Mark to trim back the brim to 3" or under- this being the result; And the B4- He himself agreed that the proportions looked better with the slightly narrower brim. I'll get it Friday. I am chuffed. These guys were as nice and kind and just as accommodating imaginable. Very...

    :offtopic: I dunno exactly WHAT wee me thought the far-off future of 2001 would be like, when I was in my dotage, at age 40, but whatever it is I felt the future was going to be, what it should be, I see fulfilled more above the 48th parallel far more than in my own country. And that is...

    Not yet... I was born in Iowa but, I will, with God as my witness, die in Alberta! :canada: My wife is a born & bred Calgarian (Why she went and married a hillbilly I'll never know.) and I think it is one of the nicest places I have ever spent time. Even at minus 40. Currently we are in...

    Thanks! Quite likely I've vastly underestimated the number such craftsmen. I don't know all of southern Alberta, but I have been around & that is real cowboy and cattle country. I sure would like to find someone there! All I know is Smithbilt.

    Please forgive me, English is a second language, to wit; Might there be anyone else, someone more acquainted, perhaps, with the trade or someone involved in CASS or SAS or maybe someone who has visited, has/does currently live in/near the town of Greeley in the State of Colorado who, would have...

    I just got this lovely 100% Beaver from a hatter out of Loveland, Colorado. Does anyone know who this is? I did a quick scan of the horizon and Greeley Hat Works is the only name I have yet come up with...little help?[huh]
