I went to check my game camera wearing my Akubra Cattleman bought on eBay. The brim was flat as a pancake all the way around so I steamed a little swoop in it. Note that the game cam is also a future cam, as it takes pictures three days into the future. :)

Great pic and the hat fits right in with that setting...

By the way, could you use your future cam to take a pic of the newspaper.. you know the page with the winning lottery numbers printed out....;)

Oh my! that Vagabond is amazing, Robert. You must post it in the Society of Vagabonds thread. Let me ask you, how does the king compare with the regular? is the felt any different? is it green?
The ribbon seems a tad wider as well. What a score, congrats!

Thanks Alejandro! The Vagabond king is quite green, unfortunately no decent light at the moment. I was under the impression(from ads) that the Vagabond King was a bound brim version, but this is a more substantial and finer finished felt for your extra dollars + a lining. The Lee is a light blue-gray

It's the first time I've seen a Vagabond with a liner. Both of yours seem pristine. The four I've owned had destroyed sweatbands. Bravo, again!.
I like the Lee a lot, is it lightweight? I've never handled a Lee before.

The Lee is light but not a featherweight. Has a firm factory-blocked shape but not too stiff. The Mallory Pliafelt is the lightest.
