Welcome, Bart. You've got an impressive collection.

Thank you, I've been learning from the masters.:eusa_clap The collection is small enough to make me want more, but big enough to make my wife want to kill me. What a fine line to walk

Akubra Sydney. Too short for my liking, but it is the hat I wear to work, I don't mind if it gets dirty.

Whippet. I love this lid

In these pics you really look like Val Kilmer when he played Doc Holiday in Tombstone!

The Whippet :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

What kind of crease? Diamond? It's a great looking lid!:eusa_clap

 

[Shaul-Ike Cohen]

Very 1940s cartoon-like. I don't mean that in a sense of caricature at all, but of very strong lines, fitting a Dick Tracy chin.

knox manilan braid

ive been away from this great site for awhile but its funny how the hat aquisition urge grows like a still small voice :-D so here i am, needed a new summer hat and this is what i ended up with.

The sweatband says Superfine Knox Manilan braid

ive never had a hat of this style before, it has an interesting crease down the middle of the crown does anyone know what this is?

The Sydney looks great!!!

Thanks, my first lid. I bought it at Bernie Utz in Seattle open crown and they put a teardrop in it for me. Nice hat, though it is too short for my liking these days[huh]

My new one

Hey folks,
I'm a lurker of about 12 months, happily reading and feeling no need to post. However, yesterday I found myself a new hat and I know nothing about it. So I thought I'd ask, is anyone out there familiar with an Akubra Flat Top? What would it have looked like originally (I'm guessing it had a flat top?)

And, of course, here are the photos...

Sounds interesting....

seems my images don't want to load, I'll try and work out why

....I'm all about Flat Tops.

Nice looking lid......:eusa_clap

 

[bolthead]

Resistol....Kitten Finnish

Got this one today, Don't have a Pork Pie in this Color, That's why I picked it up, but this might need a fuel bath.....

....after a quick steam, brush and quick crease job.

....boy, now I know why they call it a "Kitten Finnish".

Love this color, and the little highlight of grey in the Bow treatment as well. This lid is pretty old and has it's fair share of moth nibbles, especially on the front of the brim. [huh]

I do believe you hit the ball out of the stadium, with that find! If it's not rare, it should be. I don't think I've ever seen an Akubra "Pocketweight." :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[AlanC]

Yes, the 'Pocketweight' is what jumped out at me, too.

New Knox Fifth Ave.

Just finished refinishing this today. Had a gas bath and re-block, The first picture was taken with another camera.

Before

After

I hand washed the liner in woolite but couldn't get the stains out, they are much lighter however.

I've had good results with Spray 'N Wash. Others swear by Oxyclean.

Love the Knox, by the way!
