    No Applause?

    Lord Man, I never applaud canned soup, I will however stand to my feet and clap for a nice home made soup. I think there may be an accidental analogy in that? Movie = Canned Soup Theatre = Scratch Cooking. (oh, and I don't applaud for film {unless the writer, director, producer or Best Boy...

    Do hats really need a liner?

    I have a couple of hats without liners and have never had any problem with sweat marks on them. A goodly % of Akubras are sans liner when purchased (cattleman and snowy river, their biggest sellers). So liner removal is hardly problematic. On a side note, one of my lids (probably 1960s)...

    Boning up on Minutiae

    and I will no doubt be unsatisfied at 40 (when I get there) but at the moment I am happily deluding myself that there is a logical conclusion to my hat buying.

    three is the line in the sand? Damn I crossed that one without even trying (and without knowing anything about them other than I liked them). I think a sensible number would be... 1 centre dent 1 c crown 1 Diamond bash 1 pork pie 1 stingy 1 grey 1 brown 1 green 1 beige 1 OR or...

    Need help, HAT GIVEAWAY!!!

    There are a lot of names coming up which are already hats made by other manufacturers. By the time you add in the names of vintage hat styles, I am wondering if the only way to have a unique name is to use a random mix of characters. the ytgblkdf or perhaps l33t speak (might broaden your...

    Lamentations of the Large-headed!

    here's another in your size and again I don't know either hat though, so I am not offering reccomendations. Just finding some options (no students in the library right now as it is semester break here, so I'm honing my research skills) That said, I can reccomend the current crop of...

    Has anyone suggested 'Mr Bassman' yet? or just the Bassman (or does it sound too much like "I live in my Mom's Basement?)

    Lamentations of the Large-headed!

    Are you after a fedora style hat? because Akubra do make other hats in your size (for example the cattleman goes up to size 65). In a fedora or similar dress style... David Morgan has the Sydney, the Bushman and the Squatter all listed in your size Aaron Hats have the CEO listed too...

    what? He's holding a similar(ish) hat. I will admit that I find inappropriate things to be funny. But the idea of a hat called the Adolf amused me. I must ask, could this be the first time Godwin's Law has applied to a thread in a hat related forum?

    well, so many people seem to think you should name it after a famous hat wearer, so, perhaps... or perhaps not?

    Were fedoras worn during WW1?

    well, this fedora wearer is more well known for his role in WWII, but he was a soldier in the War to End all Wars too. No Idea when these photos were taken but probably during or just before the second. I wonder if he picked it up off the streets at a book burning, where...

    this thread needs voting! (or perhaps a poll of the best. Perhaps the top 100?)

    I like these two ideas (not as much as I like mine, but still...) I think the Crossroad (singular rather than plural) is one of the best so far.
