Banjo or Coober
I could have written this comment except for the two Banjo's, my only other Arkuba is a Territory. After two years of wearing , mostly the Heritage Fawn, it is nice and soft and has received a lot of compliments. The Graphite Grey is just a bit dark for my taste, and generally gets worn... -
Hat for Upland Hunting
There was an upland hunting show on TV a couple of years ago, "Hunting with Dez", Dez being the dog. The shooter wore an Arkubra Banjo Patterson and influenced me enough to get one which I find myself wearinng for all but the more dressy occasions. -
Straw Hat Day
I actually started late last week. Late spring has been unseasonably cool down here this year. I just saw on the weather report that we had upper 40's in the area last night. -

Irrational hatred of hats
No negative comments, only a lot of positives since I have gotten away from pure westerns which are commonplace around here. -

Another hat at work question
When I was active Air Force one of my senior NCO's refered to civilians as feather merchats! -
Who makes the best Panama hat for $100?
I just picked up a lower price one from PB via one of his e mail ads/specials, for $45 delivered. The weave is coaser than the two much higher grades I have and has a fabric sweatband vs leather. The way I sweat my thinking is that sweatband and a coaser weave will be a bit cooler. I only... -
Banjo Paterson musings
A couple of "Banjo's" were my first quality type fedoras. I got both colors and the Fawn is my "go-to" hat, I find I wear it more than any other. The charcoal is ok, but much darker than I like so use it more for bad weather. -
self-concious in my fedora
Dad bought me a nice felt western when I was in college but I was too self conscious to wear it. Straws in the summer were never a problem. Fast forward about 40 years, about 4 years ago I got a couple of Tilley hats and started wearing every day, then a couple of Akruba Banjo Patterson's and... -

Tuesday afternoon in Boston
Ah! Another pharmacist on the board. Down here I think I am about the only one wearing a hat, except some will go western for special occasions. I wear mine daily to and from work and everyone else, having a non treatable eye problem that resulted in litearally thousands of floaters, the... -
Are Hats Your Main Interest?
Hats rank way down in terms of dollars and time spent. I'm more of a wearer than a collector, but have acquired a few nice ones over the last few years , fedora and western. Tops for me for almost all my life has been firearms and reloading. I generally search out nicer models, mostly older... -
Long Oval Hat Stretcher
I got a regular wooden model a few years ago, I think from Manhatten wardrobe supply. I closed it down then sanded the sides a bit and kept trying until it would go into a well fitting long oval hat(on my head) with a loose fit in the hat. It works well giving a fore/aft stretch and leaving the... -

MY WIFE'S AKUBRA
Good looking hat on a classy lady. It probably looks better on her anyway! -
The idea that hats keep you cooler...
Well, just get out on a sunny August day here in Texas, or any southern state( been there and done that) and I'll guarentee you that the "proper" hat will help keep you cooler. Now I do not mean a dark colored, unvented felt, but a fairly light color open weave wider brim hat. I have a... -
Fedora without a suit advice
About the only thing I have not worn mine with is shorts. For work I never wear a suit, out of place in a hospital pharmacy. I generally wear a shirt and tie, and in cooler weather a sport coat too and from car, of course with my hat, not always a fedora. Bottom line is wear it with... -
Do you have a man room/study
The wife let me have the garage. I installed an insulated overhead door, when I had to replace heat pump, went to a larger more efficent unit, and added a 12 " heating air conditioning duct, ceiling fan. She still has an upright freezer there, but I have a large gun safe, reloading bench...- jkingrph

Some bad news (now getting better!)
Here's best wishes and prayers that everything goes ok and you get well soon. As for smoking, please try to stop. My father smoked all his life, had a minor heart attack at about age 62, I was home and recognized symptoms and made him call his dr. We got him to hospital, mainly for diagnosis...
