    I Think I'm Starting a Trend

    *not* setting a trend ... Coming at it from another angle/r ... I was walking my dog as usual on a bad weather day in my favourite "rainhat" - Akubra Angler - when the rain turned to hailstones. most other walkers were wearing wool caps of various types - so their heads were getting...

    Vintage Gray Stetson Milan for sale on Ebay - 7 5/8 Long Oval

    Hi all, I'm the lucky winner of this and am really looking forward to receiving it. To be honest, the stingy brim did put me off a bit, but I was thinking that, given its colour, it would make a great night-time hat in what passes for a British summer?? very best to all, Paul.

    2011 Optimo Whiskey fedora for sale

    Hi Charlie, I can't send private messages yet (have asked the administrator if this can be fixed) but think I can receive them, so if you send me an email address to get you on, we could discuss this hat? very best, Paul.

    Johnny Depp told to drop the hats by Vanessa Paradis

    Pot, Kettle, Black? Apologies for introducing a slightly snippy tone to this, but how would Vanessa feel if Johnny suggested she visit a dentist? Assuming the hat-with-a-hole isn't unhygienic (bit of an assumption by the look of it ;) ) how's that or the 2 rooms full of hats harming her...

    How popular is the fedora in 2011? Are hats seeing a resurgance finally?

    Another perspective from the UK ... I've seen a few more panamas this year in what passes for a British Summer and generally what I've noticed is that I get a lot less strange looks when the weather is either hot or cold/wet, people seem to instinctively realise that you have a weather-beating...

    Akubra Overload

    Akubra & cricket ... Apologies to our Antipodean friends for mentioning the cricket but ... Being a hataholic, it's been really distracting watching the Ashes because every time the camera pans to the crowd I'm fascinated by trying to spot all the different Akubras people are wearing. One...

    Akubra Overload

    Cattleman it is ... Many thanks Randy, from photos the felt on the CD does look thinner. In the end I reckon I will go for a sand coloured Cattleman for a) its light reflection and b) it has a broader brim than the CD hopefully the air vents will offset the thicker felt. but I...

    Akubra Overload

    Thanks Thanks for the feedback, I really hadn't thought of a Squatter but will definitely check that option out. I forgot to mention I also have a Stockman which I've previously used in the Summer but the felt is quite thick and I was just trying to find a lighter alternative which the...

    Akubra Overload

    Summer dog-walking akubra choice? Hi everyone, I'd appreciate your advice on the following scenario ... I'm planning ahead for a hat that will offer good sun protection in the British Summer (please don't laugh, I am pretending that this isn't a contradiction in terms) whilst doing an...

    Optimo south side mobsters

    I'm not sure it actually is that simple - e.g. I noticed that one of Bimmerzimmer's hat was bought and very quickly resold for almost an additional $100. So I'd still suggest that even when very similar items are on offer (in this case the exact same hat) the eventual prices do not always meet...

    Optimo south side mobsters

    Hi Bob, I do think the black ones went for relatively low amounts because they were black, but I picked up the previous 2 grey/gray Optimos that were up for sale at around the $150 mark, so it's not always clear what is going on in Ebay, it appears to work in mysterious ways! very best...

    Akubra Overload

    I now have to edit the above list - I was waiting for my Deluxe Fed IV and it arrived today in Regency Fawn. Wow!!!!!:eusa_clap I thought all the hoopla on this Site about them was a bit cultish - but I can now totally see why people rave about them so much! Because a) I'd read a lot of...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Optimal optimos! I treated myself to both a tan + the navy blue one. More than I could afford but a) I thought I would attempt to go cold turkey on the hats by finishing on a high and b) I did at least manage to avoid getting into a bidding war over the long-haired one ... (really...
