    American Boots for the English Gent?

    I've got a few pairs of Northampton made Eglish boots; heavy brogues from Church's, cap toes from Alfred Sargent and the superb Bleasedales from Grenson. I love all of them but recently have taken an interest in proper American-made boots. Wolverine and White's in particular. I've handled...

    Let's see your mechanical watches

    To get things started; here's my Poljot International Strela. The photo didn't turn out as well as hoped, as my Photobucket app adds a lot of compression.

    Do's and Don'ts of shaping a "cowboy" hat

    I've decided to re-shape my Stetson Rancher that got beaten and battered on my trip back to England. Being a Brit I feel I need some education here; are there any faux pas when it comes to shaping a western hat? I'm considering a reshape because the pinch fronted hats suit me better than the...

    UK Company for Pugarees?

    There must be a company in the UK that sells pugarees, but I've had no luck finding one. Forum search has also yielded nothing. Can anyone recommend a UK based supplier? Or, failing that, a reliable company the ships internationally?

    Akubra styles for Women

    I'm going to treat my wife to an Akubra. She won't choose one for herslef, thinking that they don't suit her. She's briefly tried on my Cattleman (in fawn) and it really suited her. Would you say there are any Akubra styles that are particularly suited to Women? You may ask why I don't...

    Re-shaping the brim on a Snowy River

    I seem to have caught the Akubra bug. I have a Cattleman, with a Banjo Paterson on order, and am now eying up the Snowy River. I like the colour and hat band on the SR, but no so much the up-turned sides (and I have a Stetson for if I want that look). How easy (or otherwise) would it be to...

    Akubra Territory pics please

    After doing some more research, I think the territory may be the hat for me. There don't seem to be many pics of it being wrote on the forum. Is this hat unpopular for some reason? I'd love to see any pics of the Territory being worn.

    More Akubra advice please

    I tried on a Coober Pedy today - the only Akubra I have seen anywhere in a shop rather than online. Whilst I loved the quality, the style just didn't suit me. The crown looked too bulky. I'm tall, heavily built with broad shoulders and whole effect was a little "top heavy" for want of a better...

    UK source stocking size 8 Akubra or similar

    I'm looking for a "semi-smart" felt hat to wear shooting. I appreciate a brimmed hat, and besides just don't look good in the usual tweed flat cap. Something along the lines of the Akubra Lawson, Banjo Paterson or Coober Pedy. I tend to suit lower crowns and broader brims as a rule. I...
