Stylemaster in Acorn Fawn
I asked for a photo of the Stylmaster in Acorn Fawn color on the Akubra Overload thread, but apparently my post got buried in that epic. I'd really appreciate that, or at least a link to a site with a decent pic. I might even go with another earth tone color, so throw me a photo if you have... -
Hats In Movie "Laura"
I know there's a thread on hats in movies, but I couldn't readily find it. "Laura" was filmed in 1944 and stars Gene Tierney and a very young and tall Vincent Price. It's a very good murder mystery movie, but the most amazing thing to me were the hats. Every man in the film who wore a hat... -
Antiques Roadshow Hats
Did anyone see the hats on last night's episode of Antique's Roadshow? It was from San Antonio, and they were featured in the middle-of-the-show segment which focuses on collectible items of local interest--in this case, Western hats in a SA museum. Most were sombreros, a couple with tall... -
Tilley Tale: Silk Purse from Sow's Ear?
What hat looks good on your head is highly subjective, but the most common complaints about the original cotton duck Tilley and the many subsequent variants are the way their brims droop and the puckered look the canvas takes on after they dry from washing or a thorough soaking. This is the... -
Ghurka Leather
I collect Ghurka leather and absolutley love it. I did a search here and found a sprinkling of Ghurka references so thought I'd throw up a thread dedicated to what are, in my opinion, the best leather products in the universe. To date, I have eight pieces. I have an engaging story of...- NonEntity

Berets, Anyone?
Berets came up on the caps thread, and someone there said he was going to start a thread dedicated to them, but I did a search and did not find anything. So, I'm starting one. I have two berets and did extensive research to educate myself on the topic before I purchased the newest one. As... -
Best Crushable Hats
There are several crushable hats on the market today, among them: The Akubra Casual and Traveller, both made of its pure fur felt Pliofelt, unlined, with a fabric sweatband, run around $100--nearly as much as their regular hats--but are attractive simply because they're Akubras, always a... -
Dorfman Pacific - That Bad?
Recently, a pompous ass trying on overpriced new Borsalinos in a local hat store referred to the hat on my head as "Dorkman Horrific." I found that genuinely funny and laughed. Of course, it was intended as an insult, so, looking down at his feet, I shot back by asking if those weren't "Floor... -
Hat Logos
It seems that most of the major manufacturers are putting a metal logo pin on the band of their hats these days. Even Borsalino inscribes its name on the ribbon of its expensive Ultimo and Virgilio Dorse fedoras. I've noticed that the very same hat, like some Akubra models, will sometimes have... -
Hat Care: Suede Leather
Hat-chattering away here and the cold weather snap sent me after my old suede leather hat that's been among my favorites since my beloved grandmother sent me some money for my birthday when I was a freshman in college. I used it to purchase the hat at an upscale department store. The year was... -

Akubra "Slouch"
I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but bear with me. First off, I didn't even know until a couple years ago that the famous hat with one brim turned up on the side was called the "slouch," and I own one! I've never heard them referred to by that name; in fact, I thought... -
Akubra Sydney: A Review
Though I'm brand new here at the lounge, I have been wearing hats, caps, and all kinds of headgear since I was a little kid. So, in my 49 years in combination with, God rest their souls, my dad and grandad's hat knowledge, I 've learned a good bit about the subject at hand. But I'm here as...
