Digby's dates
Folks, I am there for Paris Photo in November - from the 15th to the 19th.
I'd be happy to explore and report back. Any loungers in town at that time ?
Here is a bit of info: http://www.parisdigest.com/shopping/puces.htm
Respect - also for small lives !
I believe we can begin to distinguish ourselves by treating ALL creatures in our immediate "habitat" with great respect. I trust most here can sufficiently appreciate the rodents that provide fur for the hats we proudly wear and care for. The huge difference we...
Lets honor the critters folks ...
... No later than Thanksgiving - religious or agnostic - lets appreciate the furry wonders that gave their life and hide to our survival through the elements or our contemporary passion for a good hat. I like to think that few garments receive such TLC as a...
Both actually. The custom order Silver Belly from Everything Australian and the in-stock Taupe Fawn from Hats Direct. Both outfits seem to be very good. Great communication, and they really seem to care all around. I should have the Taupe Fawn in 7-10 days. Will document the bashing process...
I have a look I like. Very mid 1950s Open Road I guess - a relatively soft bash. I'll post a picture of the desired style and consult with y'all. Good evening.
Dear experts,
I am looking for a supplier of high quality ribbons. Looking to find thin ribbons (open road style) Any leads would be much appreciated Regards, Digby
Campdraft 1 and 2
Well, I have a custom Silver Belly halfway through the production, love it that they can tell you where your hat is. Then after seeing a very handsome Taupe Fawn presented in The Lounge, I could not resist opting for that one also. They had one in stock - so it was too...
Gentlemen, I anticipate the arrival of my first Akubra Campdraft relatively soon. Do you all recommend using steam or perhaps using cold or lukewarm water directly on the hat for working out the bash. For Stetson hats I have intuitively used moderate steam in the past. Most obliged, Digby
the magic of the Stetson Open Road ...
... has everything to do with the remarkably eloquent words stated on this thread. I spent much of my youth in the American West, I had different cowboy hats. When I first tried on the OR in Phoenix around 1989 at 24, the name alone sent a tingle down my...
You have a point ...
The felt is pretty stiff indeed - so that would indicate a later model. The sweatband seems to be a better quality leather than my more recent OR. Also the color is more beige than my newer Silverbelly OR. And like I mentioned before, the crown is a notch taller and the...
Dear experts, I am trying to date my recently acquired vintage Open Road. The hat has a slightly higher crown than the contemporary OR and the brim is a bit narrower. Pictures can be viewed at this URL: http://princeinacowboysuit.blogspot.com/
Any help would be much appreciated :)
