    The County Recycled My Sixties Open Road

    What size do you wear? Atticus, What size do you wear? I have 2 - 7 1/8 ORs that I don't wear because my wife does not like me in light colored hats. I have never been motivated enough to put them on OFAS but might pass them on to a fellow lounger in need. I haven't even gotten one of...

    The Akubra Squatter

    Carbon Grey Interchange, Is your carbon grey squatter really as dark as it looks in your picture? I have been looking for a dark grey hat for a while and yours looks great. I have a couple of great lighter grey hats including a stratoliner, but my wife doesn't like how they look with my...

    A sea of police hats.

    Atlanta PD Hat Squad http://projects.ajc.com/gallery/view/living/hat-squad-police/ I think the Atlanta PD Hat Squad has been mentioned on FL before. "The first time an Atlanta police homicide detective solves a case, he's rewarded with a fedora and welcomed into the 'hat squad.'" A nice...

    My Grandfather's Borsalino Lives Again

    And the boots.... The hat looks great and the boots you are wearing are wonderful too. Who made them? Being a forester and wildlife biologist, I am partial to good boots. Robert

    The Curse of Indiana Jones

    Son after IJ My 6 year old son also wanted a whip to go with my brown Champ that he has appropriated. We looked for a real bull whip for his 6th birthday last weekend but thought better of it after seeing the price of real whips and considering the potential problems for his twin sister, older...

    Panama Brim Issue

    Panama wearers, I have a Panama Bob hat that is wonderful, however, in even a slight headwind the brim flips up. It looks goofy, and I am always walking around with my hand up to the brim to keep it down. Is this just a characteristic of light, flexible Panamas or is there something I can...

    BEAVER FUR

    Wild beaver I have never heard of farm raised beaver. That would be interesting. There is still an active market for wild beaver pelts. Here is a quote I got from http://www.furs.com/faq.html when I tried to find some information on beaver farming on google. Q - Which furs are...

    Hatshapers blocks! Any good?

    Hey Sharpey I have been waiting to find someone to ask about hat shapers. What make hat does your block resemble? Do you remove the sweat or leave it in? What size did you get relative to your hat size? Thanks for your help. Robert

    How often do you wear your hat?

    I feel strange without it now. When I started wearing fedoras, I felt like I stood out whenever I wore one, so I only wore them for sun protection. Now I don't feel quite dressed without one when outdoors. As for rain, I wear my felt hats if I am caught by a shower, but I have a filson...

    Hatshapers blocks! Any good?

    Hatshapers look interesting to me too If you search this forum, you will find some other opinions. One of the hatters, even, uses them for light work. I want to get one in open crown and one in fedora shape. Let us know how it turns out if you get one. Robert

    4x4 - The Debate

    Quite utilitarian I work outdoors, often alone, and miles from anywhere. Four wheel drive is a necessity. I wish I had a winch too. I only run into the casual 4x4 owners when I need a new truck and buy their perfect, 2-year old, still under warranty truck for 75% of what they paid. They...

    Hat Storage Advice

    I assume so ... That is what I have always done with my cheap straw hats and how I have been treating my Panama Bob special since I got it a few days ago. It seems like the same reasons for resting it on the crown applies to Panamas as well as felt hats. Robert

    Panamas

    You are right Shorty He is very reasonable. Also, very knowledgeable and nice (if you are not a hat seller trying to rip people off). Notice any resemblance between the pictures and Panama Bob's site? http://www.panamas.biz/tour.html Scroll down the page. My Montecristi is in the mail, and...

    What is the quality of Stratton's fur felt?

    I don't know about the quality but ... A friend gave me a forest green Stratton hat that used to be the uniform hat for the wildlife agency for which I work. http://www.strattonhats.com/f38hrez.html The felt is thick and stiff, but it was free, and that gave me the courage to wet it and...
