    An Akubra update

    My personal feeling (and I hope I don’t get dog-piled) is “if you want a cheap hat, buy wool, but be aware that all you get is a cheap hat.“ Fur felt is arguably the best material for hats for temperate climates ever devised.

    First post & first hats

    An excellent point. No one else is thinking about you as much as you are.

    First post & first hats

    It is my suspicion that if you think you will look like a dork, you probably do. I believe that feeling and attitude somehow projects, and others see/sense it. The secret is to follow the advice above, and truly not give a happy rat‘s rse. Truth is, you’ll probably look rather dapper. The...

    Black felt hat oil/grease look

    I think you might be onto something, but it may not be uniformly distributed. Just a dribble would look rather odd.

    Black felt hat oil/grease look

    My thought is “If you want your at to look worn …… wear it.“

    Western, anyone?

    For some reason, that hat made me think of Viggo Mortensen.

    HATS WITH HISTORY

    That was an exceptional movie because the producers were smart enough to follow the (exceptional) book and not Hollywood it to death.

    The toughest hat

    I hereby cast one (1) vote for Akubra. You might want to snag one now, before the new owners (inevitably) begin to tinker with things.

    Crushable Fedora Shape Help!

    This man knows whereof he speaks. Since the company has been sold, it may be smart to grab one now, before the new owners can tinker with things. (as they inevitably will)

    Reshaping the brim on a wool hat

    Why not just wear the Akubras, and spare yourself the stress? it seems odd that a beat-around hat like an Akubra is deemed “too good to wear”

    What to wear with a fedora....

    Well, it certainly is a striking outfit, which not everyone could wear as well as you do.

    Buy an Akubra …… save lots of money.

    That shows you how up to date I am. Still don’t like ‘em.
