Federatiion IV [Deluxe] questions {merged}
Who me? I'm just a guy who can Google, and used to live in Texas and follow music some. An old roomate of mine was a student of jazz guitar, and I believe he alerted me to your playing, which I enjoy quite a bit. Sorry if I disturbed your privacy! Nice to have you here. Frank -
Federatiion IV [Deluxe] questions {merged}
Fed Deluxe jbucklin - I think you will find that in your new Fed Deluxe you will look a lot like the guy who played guitar with Cafe Noir. I knew you looked familiar. On-topic, your bashing skills are fine. Enjoy your Akubras. Frank. -
How much rain can an Akubra take?
You are forgiven I was really just poking you a bit, as that was what your initial post suggested. I'm glad to hear you are a good son, and did right by your mom. I highly recommend the Campdraft, by the way, if you're still looking at one. And the comments by the others about getting it... -
How much rain can an Akubra take?
Priorities Maybe I misunderstood your initial post, but you've got bigger worries than some taper/slow drying issues. I'd be worried about anyone who would abandon their mother and family dog in a dangerous situation just to save his hat. While you're waiting for your hat to dry, go out and... -
Howdy & Stetson Roadmaster question
Campdraft Arkie - If you have no luck with the Roadmaster, PM me when you get your post # up to the required amount. I'm moving, and may sell a nearly-new Campdraft in Akubra's version of Silverbelly, which is really more of a ranch tan, in a size 63. It's even creased in the Open Road shape... -

Peterman Duster?
Oilskin I've owned many oilskin type dusters and a few vests, especially useful when I lived in Houston, where it rains a good bit. Once I moved out to the California desert, I found out why nobody out here wears oilskin. The first time I wore my great oilskin vest on an El Nino day when the...- frussell

Side by side comparisons- Firenze vs Dexter
Outlet I've had good luck ordering sight-unseen from the Garland outlet. Just called and asked, and they dug around and sent it out. One was a Pinnacle, and one was a Nostalgia, which is pretty hard to find in my size. They are good folks. I like that Firenze. Frank -
The modern cowboy hat
Depends on where you look The cattleman crease is still the standard, but if you go to different areas, you'll see a wide variety of creases. There's some buckaroos in Idaho and other places that wear a small-brimmed, fedora style hat when they work. The only time I keep a cattleman crease in... -
Peterman Duster?
Not a rain coat So far as I could tell, the Peterman duster is not waxed, nor is it any kind of oilcloth. It just looks to be a canvas duster, which will soak up rain and weigh about 30 pounds when wet. Yes, it's made for horsemen, but it's not a raincoat. I've got a similar one, and I find...- frussell

The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
photos Any marks or spots in the photos are my fault. I have a white boxer who sheds like a snowstorm, and I haven't taken this thing off long enough to even brush the shipping marks off yet. Thanks again Tom. Frank -
The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}
My First Stratoliner Courtesy of GTDean. Mid brown, great felt in great shape. I didn't even have my normal urge to re-bash. Tom, or anybody else, any ideas on the time frame of this hat? Just lightweight enough to wear in our already scorching weather. Wish my crummy photos did it... -

Major Moored Carbon Grey Fed IV size 63
I'm moving, and need to thin the herd a bit. While I was waiting for this one to be done, I lucked into an outlet Nostalgia and a vintage Resistol that keep this one sidelined. It's too nice a hat to sit in my closet. Less than 3 hours of actual head-time, no stains, no damage, no smoking...- frussell

Vintage Banana Republic safari jackets
Was it catalog only at first? I distinctly remember shopping by catalog/mail order before ever seeing a real BR store in person, when they actually had some surplus items for sale, both military and civilian. By the way, does the Duluth Trading catalog remind anyone else of the old BR...- frussell

Vintage Banana Republic safari jackets
Foolish youth There was a time when about 80% of my wardrobe was from Banana Republic. I had a leather flight jacket, dozens of slacks and ghurka shorts, many Expedition Cloth shirts, a 3/4 length tan duster that was really cool, two photojournalist vests, and at one time, one of these safari...- frussell
