    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm still waiting on the three previous hats and now have three more I'm waiting on for a total of six hats in the post currently. What was I thinking? :eusa_doh: As far as these hats go, I'd guess I was bidding against some of the bigger-headed guys here on the forum. I have not found too many...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Today I wore this Royal Stetson fedora. I did not realise it was going to be over 90° with high humidity in DC today or I'd have worn something else. This shot was taken on the bus on the way home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Moehawk, all I need now is a number plate and a background with measurements. At least I'm in good company. ;) hRm, I think the width works pretty well too, but I'm mostly wearing hats with fairly stingy brims, so this feels a tad strange. With those two Campdrafts on their way from down under...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Nice lids all around folks. You gotta love that old Borsa that tommyK is wearing. Anyway, I'll try my hand at posting here again. I'm a decent landscape photographer, but not so good at much else. When it comes to selfies I really stink, but here goes. This is one of the hats I obtained from...

    I tried viewing it using a proxy and had a problem getting it to load. I'll try again tomorrow if I remember. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Akubra Overload

    I ordered my BG CD in 7-1/2 yesterday and received an email at 12:07 AM today that it had shipped. It looks like they are well stocked. :)

    Akubra Campdraft

    Al, I think the hat looks great and think you did a wonderful job with the shaping. Did you simply do a hand crease and bash or did also you steam it?

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

    tommyK and 1mach1, that is where I'm headed since there are times when sellers are untruthful about the sizing of their hats. Fortunately, the mistakes made so far have been more a source of irritation than anything else. Meanwhile I'm learning a good bit about the differences in quality of...

    More important, what ever happened to that Penny's Towncraft hat? :p Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dobbs Rainbow---Finally

    I'm still trying to figure out what brim width I like best. Seems for the dressier hats I like them around 2" or so. For more casual dress, 2-1/2" to 2-3/4" works nicely. I have an old hat marked Stuart and sold by Moe Penn in Brooklyn NY that I wore for the first time tonight which has a 3"...

    Dobbs Rainbow---Finally

    Not even close to the same hat. It's the same in name only. Still, it appears not to be a very common hat, so I'm glad one appeared in my size and for a reasonable price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Whippet or Stratoliner Special Edition?

    Shortly after we moved into our new house, I won an auction a set of bicycle wheels that had Hardin Bacon Slicer hubs and Constrictor ASP rims. The day they arrived, I heard the delivery truck show up so I went out the the end of the driveway to retrieve the wheels and squirrel them away in the...

    Dobbs Rainbow---Finally

    I can't help but bump this dead thread. I know jamespowers has the finest Dobbs Rainbow I have yet to see. As it turns out, this past weekend I was the sole bidder for a Dobbs Rainbow on eBay. If it is half as nice as his example, I'll be a very happy man. Auction pics follow. Dobbs Rainbow -...

    Whippet or Stratoliner Special Edition?

    Frunobulax, thanks for the tip. I tried something similar with my bicycle collection and it didn't work, but it's worth trying again I suppose.

    Whippet or Stratoliner Special Edition?

    I guess since it's my thread originally I can go :offtopic: a bit. The sole Akubra I have at this point is this cool looking shallow crown model that was hand-creased to resemble one of Sinatra's fedoras. It is Imperial felt and is not as soft as some of my other hats and feels a touch "gritty"...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm only waiting on three hats this time around. ;) I won a neat old Dobbs Rainbow on Sunday morning and then after much discussion about whether to buy a Whippet or a Strat SE, I ended up buying two Campdrafts - an Imperial in Bluegrass Green and a Heritage in Silverbelly. I think everyone...
