Nice looking.View attachment 52238 So after much pursuing of the Internet and looking at suggestions given here I went with a Black Creek hat purchased on Shoe Buy for 31.00. If I don't like it I will go the Akubra Balmoral.
Thanks for the imput.
One is Art's Official affiliate thread which he has a right to by paying those dues as a hatter & the other is Hall of Fame started by general membership to praise his work.here is a question about a double standard on the forum
and this is absolutely nothing against Art ... he has nothing to do with it and his work deserves as many threads as one can type
.... but if I or anyone else starts a thread that merely mentions a topic that is remotely similar to a topic of an already made thread from 2003 that has been buried since 2006 that thread I started will be immediately merged into and lost to the abyss of the old thread that hasn't been visited since Frunos beard had pigment ...
but sitting right on top of the forum are two Art Fawcett VS threads with the exact same content coexisting in consistent bliss
now again ... not complaining about the two VS threads ... I love Arts work and think it is wonderful and should be spoken about every day all day ... but if that is the case then leave other threads alone that may have a semi similar topic to some thread started over a decade ago
ya dig ? (<official question for the question thread )
and what is the difference between those threads ...One is Art's Official affiliate thread which he has a right to by paying those dues as a hatter & the other is Hall of Fame started by general membership to praise his work.
Not sure what you mean by get lost in old threads but looks like the barkeeps pull stuff forward when the same topic is resurrected.
Keeps old info from being lost to the back pages....
One is under control of the hatter & the other is not. Don't expect any hatter to stop free publicity of post into their Official Affiliate thread but that is the only 1 the hatter can post to for promoting models & services. The Hall of Fame is forum members posting what they want about the hats they get from the hatter. Nothing stops redundancy except the posters. These folks keep replying & reposting every photo somebody just posted over & over again & you're asking these questions about the bartenders?and what is the difference between those threads ...
what is being posted in the non official thread that could not be posted in the official thread of the exact same topic ?

My question is if there are any rules regarding hat colour and suit colour, or if it is mixable after wearers taste?
In any event, round or square? Can you please help us sort this out?
Didn't say that at all. You pay to be an Affiliate like the hatters do & you get a Moon The Loon Official Affiliate Thread. Make a hat worthy of a Hall of Fame & maybe somebody will post a photo of the hat in both.same exact thread twice
simple as that
by your theory I could start a thread right now called "Links to important hat forum threads " or "ask a question, get an answer" and nothing would happen

I myself would prefer square.
