Hey, thanks fellers. It is a beauty.
The Akubra Traveler is a better fit for my needs. After trying the Traveler I found I much prefer a cloth band.
Anyway, thanks for your wisdom but it's still for sale!

Hi everyone,
I asked Art to make me a lightweight hat for the field....kind of an Akubra. It's beautiful but a little too fancy to take hunting and such. The liner was left out for ventilation and the brim is 2 3/4. The edge was bound to keep it from flopping.
I'm asking $220 shipped...
Hi all,
It is my paddling companion. It's one size small so it doesn't fly off my head. It's tight but can handle 30+ mph gusts. No chin strap and the foam float is removed for better ventilation. I hang it on a hook outside after the paddle and thus the hole from blowing in the wind on the...
They last me about 5 years. They are pretty tough and guaranteed against mildew! I could have returned this one years ago for mildew and the hole. I think it's time to take them up on their guarantee again.
I recently found a hat I like more. I'm sure it won't last 5 years but...
"I don't know whether it was the hat or not but he seemed to find me trustworthy."
Cool vintage hat and a gun owner....I'd trust you. I'm guessing you carry a revolver!

Looking sharp Greg. The ocean looks calm.
I like to have lunch at the House Without a Key in Waikiki. It's a low key, nice atmosphere on the beach. Lunch prices were reasonable...I see they have gone up.

Thank you.
That's an interesting take that I didn't consider. I wouldn't want hemp on my head cause some of the hemp chemical might rub off.
Just kidding, if the hemp did rub off I'd already have one. I'm all about the ventilation...don't care if it's plastic, hemp, or whatever gets er...
Akubra for the tropics
Hi Guys,
My interest in nice hats has rekindled.
Which of these hats provides more ventilation?

Thanks,

Hi,
The pics were taken at the radio control park in Kailua on Oahu.
IMO, Reyn's makes the classic aloha shirt.

Sig Zane on the Big Island also makes some outstanding shirts.

Right on. I'm glad to hear that it's a nice example. I doubt he wore it more the one time in the store. It's pristine. I need to remember to keep the AC on in my office when I leave for the day. I wonder if that matters. The rest of the building has AC 24/7 so the humidity in my office...
Thank you for your kind remarks. It's very special to me.
I really think it's hair although it does look like frayed string. I've look at it under 10X magnification and it looks like hair to me. You can even see the uneven cuts from the scissors. The only question is who the hair belonged...
Hello everyone.
I have all of my grandparents hats on display in my office. I was very close to them and it's kind of a memorial.
Anyway, here's some photos.
Here's a photo of me with my grandfather in Louisiana.
The middle hat below is my only nice hat. All the rest...
Howdy,
I had this made for my dementia care facility. We have lots of things from the past to bring back memories and I thought hats would be a nice touch but never could figure out a nice way to display them. Plus, that corner always needed more light.
