Mine is on the way in a few months - for now, just the Akubra!
Actually, I went a little outside the norm and ordered in Gray with a black band. (as in the one on the right).
Yep...
This is one I struggle with almost daily. I usually end up keeping my hat on a (hopefully) free seat at the table.
There are times when I go in to a place that I know has no place to put my hat. I end up leaving it in the car (NOT on the dashboard!); however, that kind of...
I heard the same exact thing with regards to the Federation (that it fits/runs a tad larger than normal). I'm OK with that.
The "lower crown" feel just sealed the deal... I WANT ONE NOW!! :eusa_clap
I usually get 99% favorable compliments, however, once - one of my employees was walking out of work behind me (I was actually wearing my Art Fawcett Sportaire as opposed to an "Indy hat," but) and said (in a perfect movie accent):
"No time for love, Dr. Jones!"
Had he not done it so...
The temperature scanners are a reality, folks...
While I won't claim to know how the technology works, I do know that it came in to "fashion" after the SARS scares...
Here in the Detroit area, I ALWAYS remove my hat when going into restaurants, etc. Then, as I'm eating, I look around and am...
Hi am looking VERY seriously at the charcoal Banjo Peterson. I've been wanting to check out their Heritage felt and since I already have a Federation (regular) with a gray Adventurebilt on the way - it would seem a bit redundant...
The normal Fed fights for time on my noggin with the jem...
I have two - both with approx. 2" brims. One is a 1969 dark brown Mallory and the other is a sandstone colored Dobbs with a wide ribbon.
The Dobbs is listed as a 7 1/2 (which I am) but is EASILY a 7 5/8. The Mallory is a 7 5/8 and true to size.
Both are in very nice shape, although not...
Another wonderful hat from Art.
It really "fits" you and looks GREAT!
What a nice added bonus that it has a bit of a historical / sentimental value as well.
It's not hard to keep a pipe dry. You smoke SLOWLY and you smoke quality tobacco (not the heavily cased, aromatic stuff). That goop is a result of the excess moisture caused by the "topping" that gives it the "amaretto, vanilla, caramel, Magilla Gorilla flavoring... :rolleyes:
A nice...
Is there a way to shape the brim a bit (as in snap the back UP and leave the sides and front alone)?
I have a Tilley winter hat and it is GREAT for snowblowing, etc.
