    Ya got me. Typo, of course. I meant Dobbs. Bringing back doobs goes against my moral and ethical nature. It would also seriously render my clearance null and void.

    Q: I am heading to Costa Rica for a week of photo-taking and exploration. I am taking only one hat. I'm thinking of my Stetson Reward Shantung. Would anyone suggest something else (Akubra Campdraft, Doobs Rosebud, other)?

    Those who have seen my recent acquisitions and read my posts know that I've taken to wearing paracord hatbands. They are interchangeable, and can be made in any color combination. Here's my first professional (I'm learning to make my own. My first attempt had me miss a weave or two :eek:).

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Predicted high today of 92°F. That means in some places it'll be 95°F. Need to wear a straw today. My Knox New York with custom paracord hatband.

    Nice! Out of curiosity, is that the W&OD Trail behind you?

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I just lost an auction on eBay for this rather nice Stetson. I might have been able to win it if I'd been willing to go higher than my max bid, but someone wanted it more. Was it anyone here? My perfect size: 7 1/4 Long Oval.

    I never thought I'd be happy the forecast was predicting record high temperatures today (~92°F), but that's the perfect reason to debut my Stetson Reward Shantung!

    Summer is nigh, so out comes Rosebud to make the transition.

    It's Spring. Show your Straw hats if you have 'em

    Speaking of straw hats... I was going to blame you guys for getting me started on this hat kick, but maybe it started last year when I got the giveaway hat at a Nats game. But you guys have kept me going. Here are my straws -- several of which I haven't even worn, yet!

    It's Spring. Show your Straw hats if you have 'em

    The weather here is predicted to climb into the mid-90°s Thursday and Friday. Already today we hit 80°F. There's no way I'm wearing a wool felt hat in sweltering heat. So... My debut of my new Stetson Reward Shantung... You guys are also helping me hone my selfie skills. Not that I ever...

    Would you look at that! Here I've been cautiously eyeing a Lee back bow in chocolate brown, trying to decide if I like the back bow and the 4" hat band, and here you come modeling something (admittedly better) very much like it! Nice hat, as always, Mike.

    There's a dip in the spring weather today, so it's jacket and Campdraft day. I've been steaming and shaping again, and this time added a paracord hatband to see how it looks.

    Join Me in Heresy

    As a runner and a running coach, it's all about layering to me. We each have a "micro-climate," in which we exude body heat and perspiration. The trick is to trap the body heat in layers between the body and the environment, while wicking the moisture away from the body. In sub-freezing...

    Akubra Overload

    As a student? Or as a GI? Or a civvy? There are student records, and reunions that occur from time to time. I haven't been to any, but I get notices about them. I also bought a Munich Campus t-shirt recently!

    Akubra Overload

    1970 - 1072 The rest of the story: I got into some hot water for the painting I did on the other window (my room was the upper corner). Popular at the time was the "Work for Peace" button that many of my age -- stateside -- were wearing. I painted a likeness, thinking it was a kind, gentle...
