    FS: Harris Tweed Flat Caps (SOLD)

    I have a Broner gray barleycorn tweed flat cap with burnt orange window pane. There are flecks of blue in the tweed. It is a size large which fits 7 1/4 (58 cm)-7 3/8 (59 cm). I wore this cap for a couple of years and it is in excellent condition. Front is sewn to bill, not snapped. No...

    Falcon Park Hattery

    I just got an email today from falcon park with a holiday special offer. Free shipping and free rush processing with a guaranteed delivery date of February 28th. Unfortunately, I placed an order with them several weeks ago for my first fedora. I hate it when I miss out on a deal. Oh well.

    Falcon Park Hattery

    No worries. I am aware, of the timeframes, from reading all the posts. Even though his prices are very reasonable for a custom lid, or a quality production lid for that matter, it is a fair chunk of change for me. So, I'm in no rush and will take my time with the details of my order.

    Falcon Park Hattery

    Well, I must say, I have been looking to purchase my first fedora for over a year now. I had settled on an Akubra Federation but had not pulled the trigger yet. The color choices are ok but wasn't getting me excited. For almost the same price I could get a Falcon Park and order it exactly how I...

    Deciding on an Akubra...help please.

    Moonstone will probably be the one I'll end up getting.

    Deciding on an Akubra...help please.

    I think the moonstone is a great color. I wear earth tones and blues/blacks which is why I'm trying to figure the most versatile color to get. Only one hat is feasible for me right now.

    I wish I could get the deluxe but the imperial is pricey enough for my budget. I saw some of the fawns pictured but they looked really tan. Or, is that just the way they show up online?

    Deciding on an Akubra...help please.

    Well, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a Federation IV since I think I may have the money together now. The only decision is the color. I think moonstone is sharp but I'm thinking for an almost strictly casual fedora I'm going to go with the brown. I Just wish it came in a lighter...

    Deciding on an Akubra...help please.

    Ok, I get it now. The Adventurer is definitely out for me but the hatsdirect Fed IV is still a strong consideration and kind of what I'm leaning towards. The other consideration would be the Fedora(not Sydney) and the Stylemaster. Before all you enablers jump in with the "buy all three"...

    Oh, I guess I assumed they were. I misunderstood what I've seen posted and thought they were the same hat. So, what is the difference between the two?

    Sorry for the confusion. When I say "Fed" I'm refering to the Fed(Federation) IV. As far as the Sydney vs. Fedora, I would go for the Fedora just because of the slight differences.

    I see David Morgan has the Fed in mid brown and hatsdirect has it in dark brown. The pictures look to be the same color. Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in the two?

    That looks way different(read better) than the standard hat shot on the websites selling that hat. Ok, more things to consider. I think I'm going to have to just get to the point where I make a decision and stick with it.

    Deciding on an Akubra...help please.

    I have considered the stylemaster. The pics on the websites make the crown look like they have quite a taper. I know the sydney is very close which is why I was looking at that one over the stylemaster since it has the cut edge. It's a tough decision. I wish there were some photo galleries...

    You can buy stiffener? Wow, good to know.

    Deciding on an Akubra...help please.

    Maybe I should rethink the Fed. I'm 6'1" and 215 lbs so I may be able to pull it off from a physique standpoint. I hqve worn a cowboy hat back in my 20s when I guided for an outfitter. Between the Sydney and the Fedora, I would go with the Fedora. I have already looked into the differences...

    Wow, I didn't realize the brim on the adventurer was wider than the fed and campdraft. I do really like the Fedora but one concern I have is some of the reviews say the bash doesn't stay too well because of how thin the felt is on the crown.

    Deciding on an Akubra...help please.

    I have been looking to buy my first fedora for over a year now. I've always been a flat cap guy but love the look of a fedora. I rarely wear suits so I would be wearing it for casual wear and exclusively in fall/winter. I am set on the Akubra. I would like a raw edge and I'm not too...

    Anyone ever hear of UBI brand hats?

    Well, I asked the seller about the hat being in the elements and they said they recommend it not get wet, snowed on, etc. So, I guess I'm back to saving for an Akubra.

    Anyone ever hear of UBI brand hats?

    Yes, and I'm quite surprised.
