Hello again, I was in Bangkok for two months untill last week. It supposed to be a winter time, but the weather was averaging above 30 degree during the day. Somehow I don't think I can manage a fedora back there. A panama seems a much better option to me, and good for me that I brought along...

Hi ghostdog, I'm not sure I should be counted as one. I was born in Bangkok; however, I have been living in Australia for the past ten years. When I started having interest in hats, I had easy access to a few hat shops around the town and the well known the hattery (hatsdirect.com) if I drive...

I have seen a sand colour (or something really light) Akubra swing at the Strand Hatters. It's a nice looking hat particularly in that colour. Give it a try.

:beer: Congratulation KObalto :beer: Cheers :beer:

Lawman, it's great to hear that you are joining the grey Federation club. Mine has become really soft now, just over the past few months. I have two Campdraft, one in silver belly, one in black. They are both great. Cheers, Chanop

Thank you again every one for the comments. I once said that I was going to look for a picture of Fred Astaire wearing a porkpie. I think I have one but never got around to scan it. However, Will of A Suitable Wardrobe, who is also Art's customer, recenty posted a picture of Fred wearing a...

I have this Akubra in Moonstone grey color: Click for an enlargement. It's a stingy Akubra, but in light to mid grey nevertheless.

Anthony and others, Please count me in. I have much interest in trying to get a nice dark blue or navy fedora (The federation would be nice). Any way, this weekend, I will be having my four-days' vacation in Blue mountain. So I hope to cath up with Ron sometime. Cheers, Chanop.

Thank you for your good words J.T. The Fedora turned porkpie seems is still working well for me. I have been wearing it regularly along with the Fedorations. As it is at the moment, it is fairly similar to the Akubra rap/Akubra jazz, with the main difference being an unbound 2.5" brim as oppose...

How about this boy? Colourwise, it is fairly correct. May be a bit of a tint here and there as you can see that the background wall is not quite white. It just happen that I have this one with me today; however, I don't have enough time to take proper photos of it. Will do that and post...

That's beautiful, Silvereed, Art. :fedora:

Perhaps, proxy server settings?

Very handsome, Atomic Glee, the hat, the suit and the man. Would you call your suit the 30's style? I remember seeing something similar in form over at the 30's style. I will make my appliation for The Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon one day.

That's very cute, sir. My newphew is ten months old now. The next time I see him he'll be aroun fourteen months, let's see how he'll be doing with hats.

Very nice, Bingle. I too had my pinch on a Grey Federation on the relax size. It's quite nice too that way on my face.
