    Older Bailey Open Road Clone....????

    Spotted this one on Ebay and a friend who was looking for an OR type lid snagged it after I pointed it out to him. Showed up today, pretty nice shape, cattleman crease, silverbelly type color, three cord band, dimensions are pretty darn close to the Stetson OR and the Resistol San Antonio I...

    Akubra in New York?

    Gents, Is there a place where the Akubra "fashion" line of fedoras can be seen in New York, or the surrounding area? I've recommended the Akubra line to someone in that area who would like to try a few on, or at least see them in person. Thanks in advance!

    Akubra Capricorn - sizing advice

    I'm ready to pull the trigger on a Capricorn. I'm a little concerned about the size, however. My Stylemaster was ordered and delivered as a size 61. I had to give it the water/hairdryer treatment a couple times before it really started to fit. Even then, I had to put some thin foam strips...

    Summer hat for rainy Seattle

    Hey, sunshine and low fifties today...Spring is peeking at us early here in the Pacific NW. The weather has me thinking about a summer hat. I've currently got an fawn Akubra Stylemaster that is my everyday lid, and a Resistol San Antonio OR clone that gets weekend duty. Not exactly hot...

    7-1/2 hat swap?

    I have a Stetson "The Sovereign" in dark gray with mode edge, 2" brim and 2" ribbon and a black sweatband. It's probably from the early to mid 60's. I've since discovered that for my build and mug, the two inch brim and ribbon just don't work. Before I put it up for sale, what I'd...

    Morality, hat size and the thrill of the find

    I'm starting to pick up just a little bit of knowledge here, and as everyone knows, a little learning is a dangerous thing. I'll browse thrift stores from time to time, looking for cast iron cookware, tools, and now hats. Of course, at size 7-1/2 to 7-5/8, the odds are long, and the stuff I...

    What do you do to a new hat?

    Is there a routine that you go through when you get a new, new hat? There are plenty of threads on Sanitizing/Freezing Cleaning/Restoring Stretching Shrinking Vintage stuff, but what about a brand new Akubra Stylemaster? From reading here, it seems that a lot depends on fit...if...
