    movie hats that inspired you...

    The hat that inspires me the most from that movie is Captain Tom Pickett's. I can't find any screencaps of it with google but I'll bet it's a Stratton Lowrider.

    Hey, Johnny, which Justin sraw hat are you using here? I really like the way your hat turned out with your makeshift block

    Akubra Overload

    Got an Akubra Territory from David Morgan that lacked the vent holes. A Territory was on the short list back when I first discovered Everything Australian and Aussie Bush Hats online but I decided on a hat without holes in the side of the crown instead. When I saw this one being sold at a...

    movie hats that inspired you...

    Movie hats that inspired me to buy? First and foremost, Angel Eyes hat from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. First hat I ever bought was a black Stetson Gunfighter with a 3.25 in flat brim and a low telescope crown at Riley and McCormick's in Cowtown. They had a table full on sale for ten bucks a...

    Miller Hats - no longer decent quality?

    I've got my eye on a couple of their offerings. Didn't know that their quality might have declined

    Akubra sizes: true to the numbers?

    Some of my Akubras (size 60) fit perfectly and some are a trifle snug, with one too small. I could stretch it but I think I'll sell it instead. They do seem a bit variable in size in my experience. Lately I've started ordering size 61 since shimming works pretty well. The one I wear the most has...

    Akubra makes shopping hard!

    I think you have the right answer there, Superfine is just not as well sanded as Imperial quality. Being a military work hat, a really smooth finish is less important than on a dress hat

    Return of the Son of the Homemade Safari Hat Threads

    In case anybody is interested, David Morgan has a Territory for sale without vent holes, it's offered at a discount since it's technically a fault. https://www.davidmorgan.com/shop/product/2206/the-territory-no-eyelets

    Flattening Brim & Stitching Sweatband?

    I've had good luck just wetting the brim with a spray bottle and setting it on a flat surface to dry but I wasn't trying to get it perfectly flat like yours. You did a good job on that hat.

    Western, anyone?

    Actually, I'd bet that's a Warrego.

    Akubra crown heights and model info

    I think you are overestimating the height of the crown on that Border. I reckon it's 4 to 4.5 inches at the front. There's a similar hat available from Golders of Toowoomba; http://www.golderstoowoombaroma.com/akubra/akubra-kanga-in-fawn/ I hope this answer isn't too late to do you any good

    Movie hats

    That's true, they must have dragged it around behind a ute for miles to get that much character. This is the Border for those who don't remember it. Sadly no longer made. In fact they stopped making it just before I decided I couldn't live without one. It even came in my favourite Akubra...

    Movie hats

    I hope this is the right thread for this question. Does anybody know which Akubra the villain wears in Wolf Creek? Looks like it could be an Akubra Border to me.

    Akubra Overload

    That Kentucky Rancher reminds me of the Outlaw Josey Wales and the Mansfield is a low crowned Golden spur without side holes? and they both have the Arena horsehair hatband? Damn them, like I need more hats. OK, can anybody who has seen Sorrel tan irl tell me about it? Is it dark brown or light?

    Justified FX Hat

    Both of you did a good job on the brimtrimming and your hats look great. Makes me wonder if a fellow needs 3 or 4 hats in this style with various brim widths. Not like I really need an excuse to buy another hat...

    Justified FX Hat

    I'll keep my eyes peeled. That's the stuff Art keeps in his office, right? Love the scene where he refuses Raylan a refill so Raylan drinks his shot while his back is turned. Looking good, Project THX138. I invested in a brim trimmer for my hat slicing project. They come in 1/8 or 1/2 inch sizes.

    I can't speak for anybody else but I'd love to see more. I love the show and everything about it from guns to hats to bourbon :)
