1961MJS, good point about the length. The picture that Dinerman posted shows that your idea/observation is spot-on. The most workable length seems to be about the same as what is being sold as a "car coat" in that it is long enough to protect but short enough to not cause a problem for sitting...
Dinerman, what would the style be called? It was referred to as a hunting jacket, but we all know about movies and their sometimes iffy technical accuracy. It doesn't really seem to resemble too closely any of the styles I have seen here on the lounge or at the various purveyors' web sites that...
Hey H Weinstein. Reblock? Not really. Lots of reworking of the crown to maximize the height and try to get it up off my balding head. When I had a full head of hair, it didn't bother me. I did finally get it up to where I can wear it without constant annoyance. If you can afford to...
HandyMike, actually, if you took the "dr. who" jacket, shortened it a bit, made it single-breasted, and used a zipper instead of the buttons, the look would be about right, I think. Then we could worry about the ability to move in it. What do you think?
I find that interesting. Neither of the ones I got really did. They were really insistent on staying "up". My nephew finally gave up and decided he rather liked it up. I kept at it until the front brim stayed down. Unfortunately, it now won't go up. If it was just one hat, I wouldn't be...
That was a question I would like answered also. I think I found one mention of price in the thread. Certainly people's expenditures are there own business, but I would like to know.
G.Durand mentioned getting the hat "reflanged". I think that I may want to do this. Is there anyone in particular that would be a good choice to have do that? Someone that wouldn't leave me hatless too long?
Hey Preacher Man! Good to hear. I found a reference early in the thread that Tim only had forms for 7 1/2 and up. There was a reference to some new old ones getting acquired through the help of another forum member, but nothing confirmed.
I would like to get a jacket sort of like a male version of the Katniss jacket from Hunger games. Something that is good for the woods or the or the office. Designed for easy movement whether shooting a bow or a gun; cracking a whip or throwing a knife. Does anyone have a jacket that I could...
In all seriousness, if crown height is an issue for you, you really don't want a Snowy River unless you don't mind having it touching the top of your head. I spent years trying to get mine to where it didn't annoy me. Wearing a Fed 4 and a campdraft now.
I do have one question about the campdraft in general and this one in particular. Is the campdraft supposed to be a snap-brim? Mine seems to want to be a snap-brim but can't quite do it. I ended up having to treat it as though it were not a snap-brim. I have a Fed 4 that most definitely is a...
Hey Duper,
Yes, I have measured both my head and my various hats multiple times. I went to the local western wear store to try on their hats. I read EA's FAQ, and I read all the Akubra sizing threads I could find here at the Lounge. I still just got more and more antsy about it. I finally...
Actually, I ordered mine a week ago, and then got so antsy over my size (it isn't as though we will be able to exchange these if we get it wrong)that I ordered another in the next size down yesterday afternoon.
I have a question for DJH about the BG color. He graciously posted a picture of two hats in BG, but they sure don't look the same. Could DJH or someone else that has seen a BG hat "in the flesh" comment on that please? More information about the color may help some waverers come on board.
