    Tool ...for trimming hat brims

    Just used one of these bad boys on my Stetson Temple, and it worked like a charm. I'm thrilled-- thanks again for the lead on this.

    Akubra Federation IV with a lighter band? (Looking for input)

    lol, yeah, I just thought my mental comparison to tie-dying was kind of funny. I'd love to see pictures of anyone who has a darker hat with a not-too-stark lighter band on it. They seem to be relatively rare compared to darker bands.

    Akubra Federation IV with a lighter band? (Looking for input)

    Interesting. I don't know if I'm looking to get that funky, but that sounds like it could turn out to be something very cool. You would do that with the default brown ribbon? (Heh, this is a little evocative of tie-dying to me.)

    Akubra Federation IV with a lighter band? (Looking for input)

    Hi fellas, Sniffing around the Lounge and looking at the Hats Direct site, I've suddenly got the itch to get a dark brown Akubra Federation IV. I think I'd like to go with a lighter ribbon than the default, though. I'm looking for something coppery or fleshy rather than a darker brown. Any...

    My new Magill Fedora

    I just picked up a Robert Hall, my first hat. Glad to hear that it will likely be fairly durable.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Fine responses all, fellas, thanks. I guess that what I'm asking for, essentially, is for someone qualified to beef up the limp Wikipedia article. That way it wouldn't have to be drafted in the linear format that works best for forums.

    Post New Hats Here!

    I just got my first hat, a Robert Hall (Magill). I named it Byron and so far we seem to understand each other. Pictures are forthcoming. I'd like to throw down a gauntlet for you superchamps out there. I've learned so much about hats since and prior to Byron's arrival, mostly from this...

    How do you store your hats?

    Rather than guitar hooks, like Dated Guy, I simply put my hat on the headstock of whichever guitar is leaning upright against the couch on a given day.

    movie hats that inspired you...

    I too really started to pay attention to felt hats after seeing "The Natural" a half dozen times. The hat in your avatar, tonyb, reminds me very much of one of Redford's in that film. Can you give me some more info about it?
