Up for sale is one Akubra Sydney Fedora, of the measurements listed in the title. It is an open crown hat with a 2.5 inch brim in Regency Fawn. The hat's in perfect condition. I ordered it and wore it once a few years ago, but it's been safely stored since. I'm in the need of additional...

My thoughts exactly. Just thinking out loud, the Overlander in dark fawn would pretty much match the color of the coat. or would that be going over board with too much brown? The stetson drifter is catching my eye, too. Sigh decisions, decisions. If only I had an unlimited supply of...

The duster is pretty dark in person. The internet pic of it is a little lighter than it actually is. I like both the hats but my big issue with the stoney creek is i'm worried that the crown is too tall. I'm not exactly a giant (5'10) and I've always thought tall crowns look strange on me.

Howdy! So, here's my dilemma: I got a new duster. I'm trying to figured out which hat I want to wear with it. Here's the duster: It's in Brown Here's hat choice #1: The Akubra Overlander in Sand Hat Choice #2 The Akbura Stoney Creek in Black Help?

Okay, so I have a black suit with grey pinstripes and a darker grey three piece. I'm looking for fedora that would work with both. I was thinking a lighter grey with a black band. Any thoughts? danke!

and it's worth noting that Kohl's has an almost identical three piece to the gray suit that will run you $150 on sale :D

Firstly: I'm back! (after an extended absence :) ) Although I usually wear hats of a more cowboy oriented persuasion (either custom made or Akubra, I won't touch a stetson or resistol unless someone's pointing a gun to my head), I do have a few indy style fedoras at home. Funnily enough, I...

You're making me nervous, dude :)

Will do, and yea, I like Levine Co., too, they got some wild stuff

I'm thinking about a vintage borsalino on ebay, but I had a few questions: How easy is it to rebash them and flatten the brims?

Namely, it wasn't there. I'd been poking around the citysearch website a bit, looking for some vintage stores in my hometown, St. Louis. Lo and behold, I discover the Vintage Haberdashery, a store dedicated to the vintage hat. It was downtown, off Grand, not a short drive, but not a long...

I compliment you on your excellent taste in the art of cranial ornamentation :) My sydney is hands down my favorite fedora. My first experiences with akubras were with the stiff pre-creased variety, so imagine my surprise at how soft the Sydney was.

Indy Spielberg of indygear, right ? :) I go by "Walden" on that forum. How are ya?

Well, I have some Stryne and Kiwi kin that the family didn't know about for the better part of for decades. Long story short: Great Uncle kenny shacked up with a Maori woman in new zealand while on shore leave during WWII. He was, of course, unmarried at the time. Unbeknownst to Kenny, triplets...

Hi from the newest member on the Board, Matt out of St. Louis. Can anyone guess my hat interest? :cool:
