Akubra Campdraft
I stand corrected. Maybe. You guys are probably right, although my taupe fawn looked exactly that color when wet, which is what babs' Campdraft appears to be in that photo. How about some dry photos when you wring it out, babs? I've seen mid-brown Campdrafts before, but sometimes I also think... -
Akubra Campdraft
Color Looks pretty much like the Taupe Fawn I had recently, unless I'm mistaken. -

Adventurer & Fed IV sizing In my experience, the Christy's sizes are more snug than Akubra. I was able to wear a size 62 in Akubra comfortably, while Christy's Adventurer in a 62 was too tight to keep. I thought the Adventurer's felt was really nice, but overall construction of the Fed IV is... -

Vintage American Hat Co. Western TALL 7 5/8 to 7 3/4
What a heartbreaker. Got this hat nearly two months of eBay and PayPal disputes, cross-country mail foulups, only to find it's too tight, even for stretching. It's exactly what I was looking for, a silverbelly hat with enough crown to convert to a big boy's Open Road. The crown is 5 1/2" WITH...- frussell

Akubra Campdraft
They're not heirlooms. Great hats, but not irreplaceable. Yes, I sold some. I'll sell more. I'm sure Akubra doesn't mind. Frank -
Akubra Campdraft
3rd Silverbelly Just got my 3rd Silverbelly Campdraft. Whenever I get itchy for a new hat, my Campdrafts seem to get sold or traded, but I always miss them. Silverbelly is my favorite color so far, so I'll see if I can hold on to this one. Meant to put it in the old Open Road Dallas Police... -

Hat size? :)
I don't think that formula works I don't wear a size 11 hat. -

Post New Hats Here!
Small Ribbon Fed Tom - that's a hell of a hat. If you can get the edge bound, it's perfect. Nice to see someone go the other way with an Akubra. Frank -
The Resistol Roundup
Elko Daniel, that is a fine looking conversion/upgrade. Put a pair of chinks on you, and you could be in a William Matthews buckaroo painting. I like the flashy ribbon a lot. I wish I didn't have stampede string holes punched in so many of my old hats, I'd send them off for something similar... -
The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
Original Problem All it needed originally was a new sweatband. The old one wasn't quite gone, but was starting to get sticky and flaky when warm. I only like that quality in pastry, so I decided to get a new sweat. I got this hat to wear, not for looking at, so I wanted it to be functional... -
The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
RBH Apparently the original ribbon did not survive the blocking and new sweat procedure. I'm with you on the bow, and I certainly trust your eye when it comes to Stratoliner details. Not my favorite experience so far, but all my other transactions with Optimo have been pretty great. Thanks... -
The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
Strat is back Well, it's nearly back to normal. The usual shipping lines and wrinkles, possible faint line where the wide ribbon was when I returned it, the ribbon is darker than the original, but pretty close to how it originally left my house. A bit more snug than before, maybe due to the... -

Any reason to buy a new hat?
All Beaver One of the only reasons I have to buy a custom hat (besides my giant head) is that it's pretty hard to find a production hat in 100% beaver that's worth the price tag. I know lots of people are happy with their Stetson Pinnacles, but for my taste and head shape, it was a poor... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Herzen Looks like big dudes with beards think alike. My best hat is a Tumwater, similar to yours, with bound edge. That dove color is one of the only felts I can get away with in our late summer heat. Looks good on you. Frank -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Alan That hat is right up my alley. I like everything about it. I guess I need to start saving my pennies again. Congrats on a beautiful hat. Frank -
The Great Baron Hats Experiment
Nice Good doing business with you again Tone. You're reliable, I'll give you that. Do you by any chance work for Christy's or Baron's? I'll edit this to add responses to your clever insinuations. I sold my Christy's Adventurer to Mr. Lucky here on the lounge. Feel free to verify. Hard to... -
The Great Baron Hats Experiment
Nice hats I've edited an otherwise inflammatory post, so as not to get dinged by bartenders. Lando, nice hats and I completely understand your frustration and unwillingness to do business with that vendor again. You have a right to expect someone to keep their word when it comes to timelines...
