    Like General MacArthur, I have returned.

    Hello again. I can't believe my last login was 2011. Anyway, I'm happy to be back among friends.

    My DM Adventurer is here!

    It's just a tiny bit loose but nothing a little water and shrinkage won't cure. With a felt pad under the front of the sweat it's just about perfect so I don't think I'll need to send it back for a smaller size. Here it is fresh out of the box and untouched. The color is a beautiful...

    I hate my head. Measuring...

    Since I'm getting ready to order my DM Adventurer I decided, just for the fun of it, to measure my head today. I thought I was a 7 1/4 / 58 cm but after measuring twice with strips of paper taped firmly together I'm more of a 7 3/8 / 59 cm. The first measure was closer to 60 cm, the second...

    Akubra Adventurer: shrink to fit?

    OK, I'm about 98% sure I'll be getting an Akubra Adventurer. I would like to hear from those who have Akubras about how they fit when how and how they settled in or shrunk to fit. Should I order my size (7 1/4 - 58 cm) or go one larger and expect the shrink? Thanks.

    My Cavanagh reshaped

    I went to visit genphideaux the other day and he reshaped my Cavanagh for me. Being new to the fedora world I was a bit nervous about harming the hat. I had tried to put the dents in the front while the hat was dry and they wouldn't stay. The brim didn't have much snap to it either...

    Genphideaux is a hell of a guy!

    I ran down to the MS coast today to meet genphideaux and I just wanted to publicly say that he's about the friendliest and most interesting fellows I've met in a long time! He helped me reshape my Cavanagh and we had a nice visit outside with some great cigars. He also gave me a few cigars...

    My Cavanagh is here...

    My $61 Ebay Cavanagh came today and I like it! It might have a bit more taper than it should to go with my face but I still like it and it fits just fine. The top of my head just rests on the center dent. A bit of shimming under the headband will snug it up. There were no other markings...

    Another first Fedora...

    I just won an Ebay auction for my first Fedora. I've been researching this for a good while and the input of the fine Loungers here has served me well. Rather than spend north of $100 for my first hat I decided to go the vintage route on Ebay. This little jewel was right at $61 with...

    Akubra Fed or ???

    I'm seriously thinking about getting a new Fed but I'm not sure if the 6" crown is going to be too tall. I like the dimensions of the brim and want to keep in that range. Can anyone recommend another hat that is comperable to the Fed but with a shorter crown? As you can see to the left I...
