That settles it. My next hat will be from across the Pacific.
NICE!

Duper said:Hey triple F, Those are some fine looking hats. I like the colour of both. Note the spelling of "color". Yup, I reside in the far north as well. Your comment about a less formal hat with a parka hit a chord with me. Now I have to decide if a Fed IV or a Campdraft will be my next accusition from from the folks down under before the Fall hits. Seems like the scales may have tipped towards CD.
Then I look at Chuck B's carbon grey Fed IV and the scales start shifting.
Perhaps the wise man orders them both to save on the shipping??

And Chuck, wish I could wear a bash like your Carbon. My Herman Munster noggin is simply too tall

Enjoy, TTFN,

Tone said:...I understand you didn't have time to put the Squatter into a taller pinch to balance out that brim but I can tell by the depth of your diamond pinch in this picture below that it will also look great with the crown worn taller. (Reducing the perception of the brim being so wide in comparison to the crown.)
...
Angles and character here! SHARP comes to mind ...
No worries, I like Chuck's too. But thanks Tone That's a good thought on the taller crown. That would change the width perspective indeed. Guess I've just come to like the lower front. Nonetheless, perhaps I'll goof with it someday.Tone said:...Goose, this in no way is meant to imply anything less than a superior job on your hat! It reminds me of a sturdy Borsalino Allesandria (sp?) actually. Love those! I like it! Just speculating balance of crown to brim is all. ...
CRH said:The Squatter is what it is and I think you've done a fine job of pulling out some cool style from that low down 5 1/4 crown . How do you like the big brim for sun protection, Goose?...
Regarding my Fed bashing, thanks Chuck. Hopefully, soon I will too be wearing a CD.Chuck Bobuck said:Goose, I think you'll love the CD. I always wanted the silverbelly too.
Babs, you won't regret it...the Akubras are great, all-around hats and have a dedicated following here.babs said:That settles it. My next hat will be from across the Pacific.

[huh]
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder .
That's a cool jacket... the whole ensemble is right down my alley. Not hard to find a hat once that part is done :cool2:.
I wore my Campdraft to The Great Jones County Fair last night for the David Cook concert... Wow!
Not a felt hat in sight, not even a cowboy. Lot's of cowboy straws though ... :eusa_doh:.
Tone said:Been meaning to replace this AkAd with a new one for almost two-and-half years -but as I pulled it off the shelf today, I realized that, in its current state, I could salvage it into at least a Fed IV until then. [huh]
Salvage? I don't understand [huh].... It looks like a fine, well worn, and very cool, fedora to me.
Or is it just a dirty old hat?
Thanks, Tone. I'd like to see more well worn hats around here.
