I tend to use a North Face messenger bag or a day sack when I'm carrying more stuff but otherwise I tend to go with an old British gas mask bag in the style of a certain Dr Jones.

I understand that Steve is still making hats but the backlog of orders is lengthy in the extreme. I couldn't pass on the opportunity when I saw it and the beaver moulds beautifully in the hand.

Despite being pretty expensive at £285 I still think of this as something of a win on ebay. A Steve Delk pure beaver handmade. The hat I really wanted when I put in the order for an Akubra a couple of years ago. Annoying thing is that I never expected to ever get one of these so bought a...

Agreed, I use a Mk VII gas mask bag as my travel bag for all those small essentials such as iPod, reading glasses, sunglasses, tissues and iPad.

Nothing on the band, which isn't even leather, and the liner doesn't have a makers name it just says "finest quality best manufacture" around a rampant lion. No idea what it is. Most likely wool felt I expect but will make a good hat for an old time prospector type of outfit with red one piece...

My third Borsalino to go with my vintage one and my traveller. A modern wide brim in black for only £60!

I have two recent additions from ebay, a Borsalino which I have posted in the brotherhood thread, and this strange thing which was listed as a Stetson but clearly isn't. No idea what it is but since it was bought as a curiosity it will do fine for fancy dress occasions. It has a narrow ribbon...

I was taxed on my Akubra as well when that came unfortunately. For the Everyman I ended up paying £48 in taxes and handling fees. As far as the hat goes I am very pleased with the fit, perfect straight from the box. Not so pleased with the box itself as it came somewhat crushed. Akubra win...

I hear my Everyman Raiders is waiting for me at the mail office with a £48 tax and handling bill. I hate taxes! Home on Saturday and really looking forward to opening the box! Question now is when does the Everyman Indy travel hat come on line?

I'm a little excited. I get home on Saturday and should have my Penman Everyman Raiders waiting for me. I should also have a Borsalino black fedora and a Stetson of some type waiting for me too. The Stetson was an impulse bid on flea bay but comes in at about £10. Be interesting to see what...

From what I can see I would say silver hallmarked in London but the year I can't figure out.

Hi Rabbit I just messaged you on Ebay about this hat and came back on here to see if there was any posts about this model. Anyway I would like to buy it would you let me know your paypal details please?

Here you go.

That is nice. I have one of their Silverstone re-editions, a great looking piece.
