    What do you think of the Indiana Jones hats?

    I take a different approach if anyone compares me to Indy when wearing my Fed IV. I go with the "bore them with knowledge" method. I say thanks and then take the hat off and explain how the hat was made in the same dimensions as the one wore in the films. I then explain how I bashed it to...

    FAQ on Brands, Etc.?

    Wow this is an old thread I came across in the search view, but it is the exact questions I wanted to ask. I'm up to four hats in the collection and moving forward I want to be a little more knowledgeable. Why did no one respond to this thread?

    Why do you wear a fedora or cap?

    I think I have multiple reasons why I wear mine. I always had a fascination with hats and even used to act out Indiana Jones as a kid in my grandfathers straw hat lol. As I got older the good old hair started thinning. Well for the gentlemen here that understand, all the sudden wearing a hat...

    Akubra Capricorn Review

    Got my Hayman in one week! I couldn't believe how fast it came. This is an awesome hat. I am looking forward to seeing how cool it is on really hot days, but in the cool mornings I can feel the breeze blow through it which is what I was hoping. I ordered a 57 which is the same size as my Fed...

    Akubra Capricorn Review

    I've read this thread front to back multiple times. First of all everyone looks great in the capricorn and hayman. I have been going back and forth on these two hats for a few months and I need to make a decision and order. I'm not a very big guy (5'8" 130lbs). Any advice on if I should go...

    Stampede ring / Chin strap

    Woodfluter, do you have any pictures of this concoction to share? I had an idea similar to this, but yours sounds much fancier and well thought out. Thanks!

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I've been having trouble finding a good answer to this question, so here it is: I have a dark brown pin striped three piece suit and cannot figure out the best color hat to wear with it. I have a dark brown Fed IV that is almost the same color (obviously it will be a little off). Do I wear...

    Stampede ring / Chin strap

    Stampede ring / Chin strap

    Thanks, I didn't see that strap on their website. It kind of scares me to sew buttons onto my hat. I'm wondering if somehow attaching it to the sweat band would be better?

    Stampede ring / Chin strap

    Removable chinstrap on a Akubra Federation IV? Has anyone done something like this? 85-90% of the time, I would not want a chinstrap, but since this is my outdoor hat, there have definitely been some situations where a chinstrap would have been very useful (hiking near cliffs, horseback...

    Women's Hats

    Hey all, I hope I am posting in the right place. My wife mentioned today that she should look into a hat and I realized I have no idea about what options are out there. She does a lot of horse shows (English not Western) in the summer and said she needs something to keep the sun off of her...

    Fed IV vs AB Henry

    I agree about the size of the hat, it is a big hat, but it doesn't bother me when it is on my head. The only downside is my wife doesn't like it. Even still, I love the hat and wear it everywhere, but it is not a hat for everyone. :-)

    Akubra Hats

    Love my Federation IV Deluxe. I have never felt the standard, but I still think the upgrade to the deluxe is well worth it. I bought the hat for an outdoor can survive anything hat (and of course wanted an Indy hat ;-) ), I haven't tested it in extreme conditions, but it still looks great and...

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    Honestly IMHO if you don't want indy comments, you shouldn't wear a fedora. I get indy comments wearing a black stetson with a tear drop bash. Of course I wanted an Indy fedora and bought a fed IV and did a Last Crusade bash with it. I don't get a ton of indy comments but just reply politely...

    Akubra Hayman Review? (vs Capricorn?)

    I have a black Stetson that i wear often as a dress hat that is about a 51-52mm brim that I don't consider stingy. My wife says this hat is the perfect size for my head. I agree about the bigger brim being better for sun protection as I wear a federation IV as my everyday hat and my wife hates...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Haha, I'm younger than I guess people assume, my friends are not Mom's or Dad's yet... I guess in general, I have no problem with hats inside, but depending on the company, and/or whose house will determine what I do with my hat. When I wear a hat I want to wear it, not put it in a closet :D

    Akubra Hayman Review? (vs Capricorn?)

    Hey everyone, I'm considering getting a summer hat this year. I had my mind set on the capricorn, and I found lots of good info on the hat in here, then I realized the 60mm brim was a little bigger than I wanted :-( So I came across the hayman. Can anyone give me a review or some info on the...
