    Akubra Cattleman size 58 like new.

    Isn't it in your size, Bob? and I don't think that you have one, either. Love to see a photo of you sitting on your porch while wearing it.

    Hat People or B-Wear?

    The smallest, yes? That should suit your thin face well. I expect that you'll probably be wearing it by Monday evening.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    They already were quite famous, with Powell, Gable, and Loy having been leading players for a number of years already, Powell and Loy from the later few years of silents, even.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Gable''s walk to his execution is easily the most memorable part of the film. That scene from "Manhattan Melodrama" is shown near the end of the outstanding 2008 film "Public Enemies" as Johnny Depp as John Dillinger watches the film in a theatre shortly before his death.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I have long wondered whether the plumes on those hats in this film and the 1970s' "The Three Musketeers" and "The Four Musketeers" and similar historical era films, aren't historically inaccurately placed on the wrong side of many of the hats? I am under the impression that the custom of having...

    Would an Akubra Campdraft work in big city business?

    Jeff Bridges in the role of Charles Howard in the 2003 film "Seabiscuit" is a good example of the above.

    Would an Akubra Campdraft work in big city business?

    Not if you don't want to stand out, particularly if the hat isn't black, dark blue, or gray. Thin ribbon would also look more country than city, or that you're just too well-off, important, or cool to care.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Surprising. It seems to be pretty standard policy among most eBay sellers not to leave feedback for the buyer until they receive positive feedback themselves, so as to have their "revenge" and possibly have their potential negative feedback "removed by mutual agreement", (a phrase that should...

    I suspect that you probably won't be getting positive feedback from her, though. :(

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

    Wait. Eventually they'll either get tired of looking at it, or they'll die and you'll be able to pick it up at their estate sale for a pittance, unless their heirs are similarly disposed.

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

    Ebay is also full of folks who offer merchandise, that is currently available from many retailers, for considerably higher prices than it can be purchased for from most anywhere else. Here's one example from our friend: Used hat on eBay...

    Hat People or B-Wear?

    He'll put the seam in the middle or anywhere else, if you ask him to. He also makes another, much larger, style of cap. In fact, he makes four different styles of caps, Gatsby, Rocky, Bigger, and Speedster.

    Wasn't the billing "Ted Healy and his Stooges". back then?

    Best Gable movie?

    Unfortunately he spent most of his career with MGM, which specialized in ultra-lavish escapist schlock, so there aren't all that many really significant films in his oeuvre. "It Happened One Night" (1934) and "Mutiny on the Bounty" (1935) are his two acknowledged "classics". Among the rest...

    Why is the back of a fedora brim pointed upwards?

    As do automobiles

    Why is the back of a fedora brim pointed upwards?

    To generate downforce in order to press the hat down onto your head when facing into the wind. It took engineers until the late 1960s to finally realize that this well known hat shaping principle could be applied to racing car design. :)

    Wallet Recommendations On a Budget

    Many will consider this well neigh sacrilegious, but I always check out Amazon.com and Walmart first, for most everything. Of course, there are many who are absolutely convinced that everything sold by Walmart is substandard, often without ever having bought anything from them, and that, for...
