    NEWS BOY CAPS

    Well, we can be happy that we get anything else outside Baseball caps at all. Now, if it were fashionable again to wear hats, imagine this scenario: The kids and the fashion-lemmings start wearing newsboy caps and Fedoras, but, of course, most of them would wear them side- or backwards...

    Akubra Campdraft

    I couldnt pm you, so here it is: The colour is called "Heritage Fawn" and as pictured the colour is quite accurate. Here is another pic with different light: The Leisure Time below is in "Regency Fawn". Very similar, but a bit more brown. I got mine from www.aussiebushhats.com, but...

    Airport Security

    On the subject of common sense when looking at the regulations and at reality, one can still carry matches on a plane: http://crime.about.com/library/blflammable.htm ".... - One book of safety (non-strike anywhere) matches are permitted as carry-on items, ...." Considering the fact, that the...

    Akubra Campdraft

    This is how my way too oversize size 62 CD from Hatsdirect reached me, as first shown in the "post your new hat"-thread: For comparising purposes, here are some Akubra in a normal size 62 : And thats how the CD turned out after some hardcore shrinking: Prior to bashing it, the felt was...

    Post New Hats Here!

    It has already been shrunk to the point where I only have to put some pads in the sides and wear it for in!!!:) I will post a pic of the done hat in the Campdraft thread.

    Re-bash the Stylemaster?

    I dont know about this one, but both my Akubra, a Banjo Paterson and a Leisure Time, responded very well to steam and manipulation by hand. Bashing and re-bashiong is what I like to do most with my hats, other than wearing them.

    Post New Hats Here!

    My new Campdraft in Glen grey arrived yesterday Unfortunately, it was a very very roomy size 62, so it will take some serious shrinking before I can even consider giving a bash and wearing it in:

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    My Akubra Leisure Time. It was really a weather for a Pannama, but this one has gotten a new bash yesterday, so I had to wear it: I really like the LS. Having paid only € 69,00 for it, I dont mind it getting abused in a way I try not to subject my BP to

    Help a guy out - what's a good Akubra?

    The Banjo Paterson is a very versatile hat in its "heritage fawn" and with a 70mm brim. I will use it for the outdoors and casual everyday wear. And it still has enough "style§ to wear with, say, a Blazer and tie. The heritage fur takes much longer to conform to my head than the standard...

    They all think I am mad

    I have worn real dress jackets and coats when I was young, around the 80s. Unfortunately I have outgrown them all, including all my good shoes ever since. So its the bog standard casual/outdoor stuff til I close the lid over me.

    They all think I am mad

    I will! My aim is to bash it like the one in my avatar!

    Thank you all! Yesterday, hatsdirect dispatched my CD in Glen grey:D

    They all think I am mad

    Family, colleagues etc Why? Because I started, somewhat out of nowhere, to wear hats! Four month shy of turning fifty I decided it was time to wear them: Because of my skin, because I always hated Baseball caps: you can forgive kids wearing them in the most ridicoulos ways, but older men...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Hello PanamaBob On the subject of my Montecristi Quarto Fino, where you generously offered to pay for a re-block, I have achieved the right shape of the brim, with repeated ironing and a hat stretcher and heavy books and the kind help of some of the members here :) Now it only needs to shrink...
