    WTB: Fedora or Tribly in Grey (size 7 1/4 or 7 3/8)

    Salutations! I'm looking to buy a grey hat to wear to the Belmont Stakes next Saturday; I need this hat by Friday and haven't had any luck at local shops (Boston area). I've got a good budget for one and am willing to pay for quality - i'd like it to be fur felt; tribly style would be alright...

    STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY

    Need Help! Stylemaster or Federation??

    Though I love my fed, I agree that the Stylemaster might suit you better :)

    which is better?

    All Akubras hold up well from what i've heard (and experienced with my Federation), and nicer looking is a matter of opinion :) Personally, I think the Riverina has more of an 'outdoorsman' look, for fishing, hiking, etc. The Safari is similar with the grommets it has, but has a ribbon which...

    Could anybody give me a tip as to which hat?

    Cut down a federation perhaps? :)

    A hat contest

    Why don't you set it up so that the winner agrees to pass it down to a new member after say a year; by then they should be more intwined with the community and it could go to someone fresh, in sort of a passing of the flame ceremony and such :) Not like the travelling hat so much, more...

    Dyeing a Hat

    Wow, looks like it works :O The only question now is how well will it stand the test of time, and will it rub off or fade. What I would worry most about though is exposure with that method, if the dye runs out of it with water then wearing it in the rain might just give your coat a fresh dye...

    Could anybody give me a tip as to which hat?

    You can always cut down the brim of a hat if it has a raw edge, though i'm not sure if it would turn out well if the hat has a dimensional cut. I have been considering taking half an inch off my Federation, but I think i'd rather just leave it as an excuse to buy another hat! E-bay can have...

    Old Clothing / Hat Ads

    My girlfriend is an artist and is looking to expand her repertoire, so I recommended she do 30's-50's style advertisement art, specifically for clothes. She isn't great with drawing people so I figure it would be a good place for her to start (and secretly get her into vintage! bwahaha). I'm...

    New Campdraft

    I can't speak for the quality of the Federation Deluxe, but I am awfully pleased with my Standard :) It's the one in my avatar pic. I took a 2 mile walk in the rain (fairly light, but windy) in it the other day and held up magnificently to the weather. The color is great, it feels great, and...

    I have returned! Also, need gift advice

    Oh, cool. I like it.. do you know if there would be a noticable difference between the Banjo Patterson and the regular Banjo?

    I have returned! Also, need gift advice

    Do you have a picture of it? Doesn't matter if it's being worn or not, but I like to see what hats look like when you have them over stock website pics. If you have it in British Khaki, how green is it? Thanks :)

    I despise tilley's :D He wears this cheap wool thing a lot (or did, i haven't seen it in a while), and that's what i'm looking to replace :D

    I have returned! Also, need gift advice

    The longreach doesn't look bad, but I don't think he'd like the sides turned up, he doesn't like the cowboy look so much. He liked the banjo patterson a bit when I showed it to him last year, so that is another consideration. Brim wise, he felt that my Federation's brim was wide, which is 2 3/4...

    I have returned! Also, need gift advice

    Hello again everyone, it has been a long summer and i've neglected to keep up with posting, but with winter arriving I can finally break out my favorite outfits again and get back in the loop :). I first came here looking for a good first hat and was directed to the Federation, which I am...

    Akubra Fed for a non Indy fan.

    I just got back from grocery shopping with my father, him wearing some cheap wool safari hat and myself wearing my standard federation, and there were plenty of looks to go around. The cashier tried to guess at where we were from and thought we were from the mid west.. he called it a cowboy hat...

    Top Hat. Costume?

    Congrats on the marriage! The hat looks great, was definately a good decision :). Those Watermarks are pesky though! I've used my wizardry to make them go poof for ya to clean it up, and sized it for your avatar. http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/7554/tophatcleaneddj8.jpg
