CASH FOR CLUNKERS
Sent four larger-sized (7 3/4, 7 7/8, and 8) hats in one box today. Art, do me a favor and let me know when they get there. I think I forgot to get delivery confirmation. Hope you can use them. At the least, you could cut one in half and make two hats for smaller guys. Thanks for doing... -
Akubra Campdraft
MC- Shouldn't be too long. I got my Bluegrass Campdraft from EA in exacly 7 days here in Southern California. So far, it's my favorite Akubra I've owned, and I've owned quite a few. Frank -
Fedoras and beards
I went to a bris ten years ago, semi-casually dressed, with no hat on, short hair (with no side curls), but even with western boots and belt on, the person who opened the door asked if I was the mohel. I took out my Leatherman tool and said "yes," and walked on in. The parents of the baby boy... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Newturn - you got a good one. I've got two Resistol Kitten Finishes at home, and I have yet to find hats I like better, as far as vintage in my huge size goes. One of mine looks very much like the hat you got, and the other is a great chocolate brown. If the brims were a half inch wider... -

JACKET - TRACKIT (For members burning to get their ordered jacket on their back)
Thanks for the good thoughts Scott. I'm not specifically griping about Mark, by the way. I purposefully left him alone for most of the last 5 1/2 months so I wouldn't be seen as a "pain." The few times I've heard from him after gentle prodding, I've gotten the same old "two weeks," "shouldn't...- frussell

JACKET - TRACKIT (For members burning to get their ordered jacket on their back)
The folks at Aero Scotland don't seem real pleased when Mark's customers call them to ask about progress. I tried several months ago to email them just to check on my wait time, and instead of answering me, they forwarded my email to Mark, who seemed mildly annoyed that I hadn't gone through...- frussell

Akubra Campdraft
b-man - Unfortunately, in my size, $108 is cheap. And Sam at EA got it to me as fast as anything I've bought on eBay. My chances of finding something "here" are extremely limited. This part of the desert seems to be where small-headed people go to die. I really like your recent "Lords" hat... -
Akubra Campdraft
Rusty - It may just be my imagination, but this CD from EA seems to have more "cup" to the brim all around, which I like very much. Some of my Akubra's have been very flat, even a Campdraft or two. Green is my favorite color, but I held off getting one because photos never really show how deep... -
Akubra Campdraft
Thanks guys. Like Rusty, I use the center dent when I need height. I need room in the crown, and sometimes a diamond just makes the crown too low for me. Depends on the hat, I've got several diamonds and C-crowns, but for now this will do fine. Our winter is too short, and I don't get to... -

Akubra Campdraft
Peer pressure made me order a Bluegrass Green Campdraft. Got it exactly seven days after receiving the "shipped" email from Sam at EA. Excellent service, packed just as securely as Hatsdirect. As noted before, this is a really hard color to photograph accurately. Still not done tweaking, but... -
Good quality hats for under $100
My first purchase from Everything Australian came in the mail today. Bluegrass Green Campdraft, took exactly 7 days from Australia to Southern California, and total cost was $108.98, shipping included. I've strictly been a HatsDirect customer so far, but this was an outstanding transaction... -

You'll be happy with it. I've got a bluegrass green coming from the same location. Frank -
Ask a question, get an answer
Tom - you have an Open Door that was pre-creased? I was under the impression that it was specifically an uncreased, open-crown hat. Are we talking about the same hat, or one of Miller's other offerings? Frank -
Ask a question, get an answer
masiaka - having owned most of the models talked about in answer to your question, I'd recommend a Biltmore Open Door from Miller Hats. Not my favorite vendor, as communication can be lacking, but it's a hell of a hat for the money. Much better finished felt and softer than my Akubras. Can't... -

Buckskin Vaquero Pants 1920s vintage
Cool. Looks like the bottom half of a traditional traje de charro. Somewhere out there, a beautiful jacket waits for its pants. You may be right about the date, more modern ones have lots of metal jinglebobs and adornments. Some of the cloth ones have a cool leather seat and inner thighs for...- frussell

BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!
He was Tommy in Snatch, and was excellent. He also had a smaller role in Band of Brothers, playing Mike Ranney, I believe. He's one of those new character actors who really gets into some great movies.- frussell

If you had $250 budget. What hat would you buy the same day and why.
Save your money on the modern Stetson. I've never seen a Benchley in person, but if my Pinnacle is any indication of what Stetson is pushing as "100% Beaver," I'd feel pretty rotten if I had paid over $100 for it. The attention to detail I would expect in any hat over $150 or so is just not... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Eric - I think you hit on the main point for me with Art's hats - comfort. I've got modern Stetsons, Akubras, Dobbs, and a few others. When I put them on, I am acutely aware of their presence the whole time I'm wearing them. When I put on a VS (or Tumwater, or Optimo-redone vintage), I forget...
