    E-Telegram Service

    Not sure if anyone has seen this before: TelegramStop I might have a use for one soon. Kinda neat way to send a note.

    The Great Beer Thread

    I home brew, so some of the beers I have made are my favorites. Like my Enfield ESB. That said, I live in Grand Rapids, MI home to Founders Brewing. They make some awesome beers, like the Founders Breakfast Stout, Black Rye, Dry Hopped IPA, and several that are only available at the brewery...

    Akubra Campdraft

    The silver belly is much more of a light, light grey-tan. The fawn is a brown. Very different.

    Modern Silverbelly colored Hats

    I got a Campdraft in Taupe Fawn from HatsDirect. Great hat, no complaints. Fellow around here, Kevin (Atomic Glee is his handle), got a Campdraft in Silverbelly last year or so. This is the hat. Fine looking color. Good luck with whatever you choose. P.S. Huzzah for 100 posts!

    Haversack Ideas

    How about something simple and vaguely martial, like "Co. H" or "NSW Milita". Or just a string of letters for some kind of acronym, either a real one or one you can make up. "ADCH" for "Awesome Dudes Carry Haversacks". Design wise, a Star is good, or maybe that Australian star pattern on...

    Why the X

    I'm sure that there are many, many people that wear that Stetson every day, and use it like it was meant to be used. Is it the majority? How many people still live a rural life that they need a cowboy hat? I'm also sure that quality means something to those guys that wear it every day, rain...

    Why the X

    Hatco, I find your posts very interesting. I think the position of Non-custom hat makers in the market is precarious one. I can only imagine that you struggle with keeping your price reasonable, not sacrificing quality, AND (the big one) keeping production domestic, as your market simply...

    Panama / straw hat durability?

    With my Panama I have found that it kinda does what it wants. The only changes I have done are to lightly (very lightly) iron the brim so it was more uniform, and to give it a snap shape. Aside from that, if the humidity goes up (as it is currently) the brim gets a little wavy. I guess...

    Great looking hats. Espeically the khaki one.

    How long did it take to get your Montecristi?

    See this thread for my story. Does it take a long time? Yes. Are there problems sometimes? Yes. But you are getting so much hat for the money, that is the trade off. You can have it right, now, or cheap. Pick two. Mine took about, oh, 6 months on and off from the first hat I got to the...

    Are We ???

    I too have been thinking the same thing lately. I think we (in the general sense) have a tendency to think that owning the same stuff that cool/heroic/famous people do makes us the same as them. I'm as much to blame as anyone. When, in fact, it's the actions these people take that make them...

    Talk of the Nation: Hats

    Hats were the one of the topics on NPR:TOTN today. I haven't heard it yet, but it's on my ipod now.

    Akubra Campdraft Question

    I'm 5'10" and, umm, lets go with husky:) The brim I think does more to make it look big then the crown. Uncommoness of hat wearing + Thin ribbon + Only word people have for a wide brimed hat made of felt = cowboy hat.

    Akubra Campdraft Question

    Thanks Boxerken. I only wish people didn't think it was a Cowboy hat, but you can't regulate ignorance.

    Akubra Campdraft Question

    I ordered a 61 (7 5/8) in tawny fawn, and it came in true to that. I have a long oval head, so it's a little tight fore and aft, but the circumference is right on.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Of course the desire, and force, to conform is strongest when your a teenager, regardless of what kind of school it is. I think government schools are worse then most, but that's kind o.t. I agree that it can, and does, happen everywhere. It's a touch windy and cold here. Tomorrow might be...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    One of the reasons that I started wearing hats, is I finally realized that I wasn't (likely) going to get beat up for it. I was 28 years old, I wasn't going to fear reprisal for wearing what I wanted to anymore. It sickens me that government schools do that to people. That for 28 years of my...
