I’m wearing a vintage Lee denim jacket that I found today at a thrift store. It’s unwashed and still stiff. I’m guessing it’s from the early 1980s, but I’m not sure.

Fed IV in the rain this morning.

I just received a new Akubra Federation Deluxe in dark brown today. I liked my moonstone so much I knew I needed another hat to rotate it with. I have a sort of narrow face (and a big head at 61-62 cm hat size), so the first thing I did was trim the brim to around 2 1/4” all around to try and...

I just got my new Akubra Federation moonstone deluxe in the mail today. I’m very excited. My wife and I walked around an empty Osaka Castle Park. Felt great wearing the new hat.
