Vent holes: do they work?
Hi all, Today I've tested my Banjo Paterson with the new vent holes during the 12 km bicycle trip to my work. Due to the fact "I have a rather high forehead" lol I can feel the cool wind blowing through the vent holes on my head. Especially when I turn my head to the left or right during the... -
Vent holes: do they work?
I've done it..... Today I've measured the location and punched 4 holes in my new Akubra Banjo Paterson and placed the eyelets. Tomorrow on my bicycle I will test the vent holes on the 12 kilometer trip to my work..... Here are some pictures from the successful modification (with the help of... -

Vent holes: do they work?
Number and diameter ventholes? I've found some eyelets at the hardware store nearby. They have the perfect matching colour for my Banjo Paterson and they have two sizes: 4mm (0.16 inch) of 5mm (0.20 inch). What would be the best option: 1 or 2 eyelets on each side and size 4mm or 5mm? The... -
Vent holes: do they work?
Cybergentleman, I've taken a look on the Sunbody website and they have some nice hats. I even saw some of them with...... vent holes. At the moment I don't own a straw or Panama hat. Next Summer I will possibly do a holiday home exchange with a family in Los Angeles. May be I'll buy a Panama... -
Vent holes: do they work?
Hi all, And Mike, welcome to the Fedora Lounge. I'm not sure if felt hats are only meant for cooler climates or to be worn when no physical labour is involved. The majority of the Akubra hats is made of felt so I'm wondering how the hat owners of felt hats in warm and sunny places deal... -
Vent holes: do they work?
GtDean48, Thanks for your reply. The Banjo Paterson has lining and no vetholes so that could be a good reason for a hot and humid crown. What's the diameter of the ventholes in your Akubra Riverina? Is there anyone who ripped-out the lining and punched some ventholes in their (new) hat... -
Vent holes: do they work?
Hi all, I've searched the hat section for more information and experience with vent holes in felt hats but didn't find the answers I was looking for. I've recently ordered (and in the meantime recieved) an Akubra Banjo Paterson and I'm wondering if using grommets to create ventholes in the... -

Hats for you: More for function or fashion?
Elvisroe, I have to say I've bought (and start wearing) my first hat last July in France. It is a Stetson Traveller and as a souvenir from my holiday in France I also bought a French Crambes hat (I thought, but it seems the hat is manufactured at Tonak in the Czech republic as I learned for... -
Hat on the Bed?
Hi all, Well in the Netherlands we have also our bit of superstition with hats and beds. In the Netherlands it's also said that it will bring bad luck if you leave hats (and coats) on the bed. I've red this has to do with the fact that in the past centuries a lot of people had problems with... -
Hats for you: More for function or fashion?
Hi all, I do like the points of Ephraim. In my experience with hats (I've just started :D ) it's more likely people will notice your hat and start a conversation then when your wearing a baseball cap like I did for a very, very long time. Apart form the points Ephraim mentioned, I also like... -
if you don't like the Fed IV....
Hi all, I've recently received my Akubra Stylemaster and I'm quite happy with it. Like Classified00 I'm a little bit "concerned" the Fed IV might be a little bit "too much" for me. For now I'm happy with my Stylemaster.......... Regards, Gusman ;) -
Tips for best "all weather" hat
Akubra Stylemaster Hi all, I've ordered at Hatsdirect an Akubra Stylemaster size 61. Although it was "tempting" to order a Federation IV as well (and saving on shipping costs) I've decided to order just a single Akubra. I'm not certain about which Akubra size fits best, so I thought it would... -

Tips for best "all weather" hat
Hi all, I'm thinking of buying the Akubra Stylemaster although I'm a little bit uncertain about the size to order. I've red the posts on hat sizes on the forum and I've measured a circumference of 60,5 cm. So a Stylemaster 61 would do the trick even if there is some shrinking of the leather... -
Tips for best "all weather" hat
Akubra Stylemaster or Federation IV? Hi all, I'm planning to buy my first Akubra (after having tips from the Fedora forum). I've already made contact with Hatsdirect for the right size measurement etc. and I'll go for a (dark) grey color I think because I've red on the forum this is a color... -

Tips for best "all weather" hat
Kabutu, Thanks for your reply. Not to mention the eating of "Fugu" in Japanese restaurants and the fact the have really sharp samurai swords in Japan ;) . In the Netherlands and France a lot of people eat homemade "chocolate mousse" made of raw egg whites to make it fluffy...... It's the... -
Tips for best "all weather" hat
Rick and Jazzncocktails, Thanks for the reply, I've taken a look at the hatsdirect website to the Federation IV. It seems, when ordered, it comes with a so called "open crown" which means I have to shape the crown myself. Is that easy to do as a "novice"......... Regards, Gusman ;)
