    OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Nice one Max. The liner looks identical to my 7XCB and it also has the ribbon sweat detail. Mine is late 60’s should be a few pages back in the 7X thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Need hat advice

    My two cents is either a custom western weight hat or an Akubra. If you do a little bit of reading here changing the shape of a fur felt hat is fairly easy. I would stick with something that has the dimensions you are after. Most here that wear westerns find that a 3x6 is kind of spot on which...

    Need hat advice

    The ones in the new game are half decent. Of course I spent a good deal of time finding them all, including the ones you have to steal or craft.

    Thanks DD, I didn't know we where the same size. I will keep that in mind maybe some time down the road we can talk trade, don't pretend you don't have your own stable of desirable hats! :)

    Picked up the Nutria Quality yesterday and pulled it out of the freezer this morning. The hat is in excellent condition. The white build up on the sweat cleaned right off with a rag and a bit of leather conditioner. 3” bound brim 6” open crown with a 3 ply ribbon Steamed, brushed, re-bashed...

    Thanks Bowen, I will definitely post a comprehensive review when they arrive. I’m pretty sure those size tags have the black and gold and the OR is from a Canadian store. I have been working 80 hour weeks for the past while so haven’t been very active here. Looking forward to a week off to do...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Picked up the latest addition yesterday so it came with me to work today. Black No. 1 Quality with a kettle curl and campaign ribbon. Some moth bites, pinholes and a blown sweat but I love it just the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks DD - They where from the same auction. Got the OR for a song, the No 1 not so much. I'm really loving the No 1 Qualities lately and they seem to keep finding me, I'm not complaining. I might just be trying your stew pot brim curling technique on this one!

    That hat is a stunner - The definition of 'Standard' quality sure has changed.

    Two new hats on the way. I'm pretty certain these are both of Canadian manufacture, most likely at the old Wolthausen hat company purchased by Stetson at the end of the 1930's if memory serves. No 1 Quality Open Road

    Thanks Bowen, it really looks like it ticks all the right boxes for me. Ever since I saw the liner on Ken’s nutria I have wanted one and here it is. I’m actually a little bummed it has the liner protector because I want to see that red coated horseman! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Western, anyone?

    You’ve really been rocking these wide brims lately Brent! It’s funny how fast tastes change. My OR’s are starting to feel kind of stingy and I’m preferring a true 3X6 or even 3 1/2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks Bob, have you found shipping from this site is always crazy? I think they billed me $60 and I didn’t even get an email to argue with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
