    Akubra Capricorn Review

    After two years of hard wearing my Capricorn started coming apart just above the ventilated portion. The thread had worn and unraveled causing the top portion to separate. I mended it with some tan thread and although my sewing isn't the best, it is barely noticeable. It will get me through the...

    Hat

    I just get made fun of when I wear mine,but I don't let it bother me. Every once in awhile I bump into someone else wearing one.We share a moment,taking comfort in the fact that we are onto something.

    Been a while: trying to decide between Cabela's Stetson and Borsalino Casual Crusher

    I have a Stetson Bear Creek.I like it but the brim does tend to get wonky. I also have an acorn Stylemaster.It too is a good hat.If I had to choose between the two, I would go with the Stylemaster.It takes the rain better, and the felt does soften up over time

    Cowboy hats losing their cool?

    I'm sure that Old Crow will make a buttload from royalties off of Darius Ruckers version,and don't get me wrong I tend to like Darius Rucker as a singer,but that song should have been left alone.The original version still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up with the lamenting harmony...

    Cowboy hats losing their cool?

    I think most lounge members don't worry too much about what is cool and what isn't. And thank you Darius Rucker for screwing up Wagon Wheel.

    I didn't know what to think about mine when I first pulled it out of the box. I didn't think I would ever wear it. That didn't last. It just gets better every time I wear it.

    Straw for someone who sweats heavily

    Plus you can still play tennis and ride your bicycle! I sweat heavily, and also recommend The Capricorn.It is inexpensive, and in a little breeze very well ventilated.The polystraw can be a little warm on real sunny days with no breeze. I got one for work last year and it will be back on...

    This Made Me Feel Guilty About Wearing Fur Felt Hats

    Most of the mink that is raised around here,(by very well run mink ranches), is actually being bought by China right now.The trappers as well, are thankfull for the Chinese market, as prices for muskrat, beaver and racoon pelts are finally at a decent level after many years of very low prices...

    This Made Me Feel Guilty About Wearing Fur Felt Hats

    I'm not sure that I buy into the idea that the vintage fur trade was more humane than modern.
