Akubra questions
Yes, I also wear cowboy boots and have had many comments over the years, the (Hello Sheriff variety). Not so many any more, probably because I am not self conscious about it. Mostly now the comments are, nice hat or, small children asking if I am a cowboy. My reply is, no I'm not a cowboy I... -
Akubra questions
Bone daddy, I have worn Akubras for about thirty five years, mostly Camp drafts and Squatters in recent years. My experience is that they tend to hold up very well. But!! I wear size 61 and always buy 62. I put adhesive backed foam tape inside the sweat band and move it as it shrinks. I... -

A stratoliner Excellent in Caribou possibly. email me @ msagar12561@gmail.com. I am trying to move the ones I don't wear so much. I'm not really a collector, I like to wear them. These are worn but only lightly. The Strats are worn only when I play out with my band. They are lightly... -

I have a little worn 7 5/8 in Silver Belly if you are willing to go the foam tape route. -
Akubra Campdraft
Silver Belly is a good color for summer wear. Living where I do, one can't always depend ao a summer day with no rain. I have messed up straw hats that have gone rained on, on a day that was clear in the morning. Silver Belly however, is "only as clean as you are" (quoting a hat salesman at... -
Akubra Campdraft
Taupe is my favorite. I wear it almost every day. Silver Belly on the other hand, is a great color too. Why not get both. If you like the Camp Draft, both will end up getting a lot of wear. -
M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Received in mail a few minutes ago. High crown looks great with a diamond crease. I have never tried one before but with this felt it was easy. Not having any luck with pictures so, I'm sorry Red, I guess it didn't happen. I am trying to get the picture thing going. When I do will post... -

Hat is in production. 6" crown, 2 3/4" brim with moderate flange. Natural beaver felt with !" ribbon and 3/8" brim binding. The ribbon color is commando which is a close match to the natural beaver. I am excited to see the finished product. Tried to post a picture of the crown and ribbon... -
I love the Fed IV!!
I wouldn't call it a problem. More a matter of what I have gotten used to. I wore a Brown Fedora that I bought from Arnold Hatter (NYC now long gone) for many years and was fine with it. I think the problem is the Camp Draft. I got used to the higher crown and wider brim and everything else... -
I love the Fed IV!!
Moonstone Size 62 It has shrunk a bit from being worn, I am size 61 and all the foam tape is out of it. It will be going up in the classifieds. -
I love the Fed IV!!
I bought a Fed IV about four years ago. It was my second Akubra, the first being a Bushman that I got about 28 years ago. I saw it on the Lounge and was very excited. I ordered one in Moonstone but it doesn't work for me. In pictures posted by you gentlemen it looks great with its' blocky... -

M.C. Gannon Hat Company
I've used that one before. She's pretty quick on the uptake. She likes me though, it wouldn't cause any permanent problems. -
M.C. Gannon Hat Company
They are very practical indeed. I remember the first Camp Draft that I bought. I thought that my first task would be to remove the wind cord. I didn't and am very glad. It gets windy here in the Winter and early Spring. If you've ever had to chase a hat across a snowy field until it hangs... -

This one is a beauty. You and I have very similar taste in hats Eric. I am getting closer to an order myself. -
M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Thanks for the encouragement Eric. I have been lurking for a while but have seen and learned a lot from all of you gents. I am an admirer of your collection. I don't have room for an extensive one myself. My studio is small and between hats, cowboy boots and guitars there is not a lot of...
