Akubra Bushman
Knowing what they're there for there's probably no real reason to focus on them so much then. Especially considering that any moderate-sized ribbon will cover those up instantly. Still, maybe it's just in knowing they're there at all that throws some people - yeah, it'd be good to have a... -
Indy hat post em up
So is the official brim on the FED IV changed for good with the 2011 corrections to match the Akubra Adventurer or is there still a chance of accidentally receiving the old 2 3/4" X 2 1/2" shorty on some of their original fan designed specs still? Do owners of the previous FED IV get a trade in... -
Akubra Bushman
They're chinstrap grommets for riders not ventilation grommets as are placed on the middle of the crowns on Akubra's other models. Still, a nice hat. Was disappointed when the Akubra Federation IV had been improved back in 2008 from the original Akubra Federation III's Campdraft block to the... -
Homburg vs. Fedora? Which would be a better purchase?
All three nice hats, really. Anyone who's owned a fedora long enough knows the brim on the fedora in the center isn't locked into that chosen style. The style on the crown is terrific! Would only take a nudge to get that brim in some other angle to get a completely different vibe off that... -

Jlee562, the point you seem to be trying to make is an argument that an already good and affordable hat somehow needs your unfounded "sympathy" in that their listening to customers and releasing new models in specs that are very popular to the general public (where other brands have been stuck... -

Was a simple question. Not surprised, though. "Whatever." :-D Thought it too mean; but here, I'll add it back if it helps? "LOL!" -

What specs are you missing from a Christys? Forget the model, your sympathy, semantics, etc.; What specs? -

Eh, we'll see when it gets there. You've got a few trilbys from them, too. Show plenty of pics for us. Looking forward to it either way. I have to agree that Top Secret Hat's customer service is beyond top notch! The term "dimensional brim" is used (frequently here) as if the fact that all... -

I KNOW they did. Just wondering what the tragedy is about now that they don't? -

just ordered a Knightsbridge in the color of Cork...
I'm wondering why you ordered a Knightsbridge if you didn't like dimensional brims. They change it for you? Dimensional brims are different from one another, aren't they? What dimensions constitute a dimensional brim? Would depend on the dimensions chosen for the hat to determine it's... -

Oh? And what Custom Specs did you guys order on the Christys in the first place, exactly, that they supposedly no longer offer? There's the Christys' Knightsbridge; Fedora; Trilby; Adventurer... What specifically is being implied that they're missing? -
Stetson Nostalgia Discontinued?
That hat looks sharp and right at home on you, Brad. A definite "anywhere" fedora. Nice work! -
Stetson Nostalgia Discontinued?
Probably like a Last Crusade hat, at least. But - I see you picked one of these up. ;-) Whatchoo got on your Nostalgia over there for us to admire? :-D Pics coming? -
Stetson Nostalgia Discontinued?
Hopefully Stetson's been listening and are pulling the Nostalgia to gear up for the release of a better balanced open-crowned model. :cool: -

Are bash definitions uniform or varied by culture?
Why not have them leave it open crowned for you to style yourself? You can "bash" in whatever top dent you choose without fussing over what it's called. [huh] -
Campdraft vs Bushman
Can't really tell the workmanship differences between them there, only that they all hold the same "Indy" crease in them easily enough. Well, I see "a" post about a Bushman on another forum; but still can't find all these references about the Bushman's popularity as an Indy hat that you're... -
Campdraft vs Bushman
I can't find any instance of the Bushman being so popular as an "Indy" hat. Searched here in that time-frame and all I see is prior to 2007 (your Bushman example from Indylounge.com (that is a great looking Bushman on that page, btw!) that people were buying up the Akubra Federation III at that... -
Anyone know "Spring Canyon Hats" out of NM? I like what I see
Rick, I've seen enough accurate targeting and judgment of hats from you in the past that your mention of these guys puts them on radar as a company to give more than a glance toward for further consideration. No worries! I know you're just putting feelers out there on what they might have... -
Campdraft vs Bushman
? The thread you link here is from 2007. Was the Akubra Federation not available at that time? Nobody was making Indy hats in 2007? (I bought a Bushman in '06, but...) I do believe the Federation was available back then, too. So was the Keppler? When did Indy hats other than the...
