    Adventurebilt Shrinkage

    Hi all, I've been gone from the forum for probably over a decade, but for those of you who remember my username, I hope the last years have been kind to you. I have a (Steve Delk) Adventurebilt which I bought probably 14 years or so ago, and which to my shame I don't wear very often - I'm...

    Rest in Peace Colby Jack

    What terrible news. I coincidentally came back to see what was new around here. Very sorry to hear this. I believe he is on my FB page also, so I presume its appropriate to leave messages there too? Very sad. He was a genuinely nice guy.

    Visiting LI...

    Thanks for your suggestions and help, everyone. Car hire will definitely be helpful, and while I am tea-total, the people I'm with might well be interested in wine. :) We're going to be in North Bay Shore from 13th to 24th April. We might also travel up to Boston for a couple of days, and...

    Visiting LI...

    I'm visiting Long Island for a couple of weeks in the second half of April. What's going on there at the moment? What is there to do and see? Thanks guys

    If money were no object.....

    That's great. I've been looking for inspiration before I contact Art, and I think I've just found it. As for the question of this thread, I'd want to commission a team of scientists to use traces of DNA to bring back extinct animals. My hat would have felt made from thylacine fur, a band of...

    Showcase of Non-Indy Federations

    I'm thinking I'm going to just send my hats to Rusty from now on, and let him shape them for me. Fantastic. This thread is a good thing for me. I have three feds, all bashed in variations on a centre dent theme, and I need to make them a little different. Something like Viper Man's bash...

    how do you store your hat?

    No offence, Rick, but that would freak me out if I had to live with it. It's as if they are floating, and as if they are looking at me. lol

    That's a Heck of a Lot of PMs...

    According to the front page, I currently have 65535 private messages awaiting reading! Fortunately, when I go to my private messages, this proves not to be the case. lol

    BBC's Adaptation of "The Thirty-Nine Steps"

    What irritated me about the new adaptation was that it promised to be a return to Buchan's original novel, which was one of the only books I was made to read at school that I actually enjoyed. Instead, this new version introduced a whole new character - a woman, no less! - who at every turn...

    BBC's Adaptation of "The Thirty-Nine Steps"

    Anybody else disappointed in this evening's shoddy adaptation of Buchan's novel? Discuss.

    "Australia" Film Hats

    Thanks Rusty. Good to see I'm not alone. However... The Squatter they are offering doesn't look much like Kidman's hat. IMO, it's almost akin to those pale comparison Indy hats places offer. Maybe it would look different if it was bashed more accurately, but as shown on the RMWilliams...

    "Australia" Film Hats

    I feel like a newbie! I'm kinda liking one of Ms Kidman's hats in "Australia". I don't have to feel too transvestite about it, because it is a bloke's hat: Do we know anything about this? I'm not big on all the bushman style akubras, so is this one of them? The bash is deliciously...

    Not So Happy Christmas...

    No no, the hat isn't vented. :D Hi, Dewhurst.

    Not So Happy Christmas...

    Of course, MH, I agree that, should this situation turn worse, I will be happy to make sure that my feelings are known. However, right now my dealings with this hatter are still in progress, so it seems a little premature for me to rant publicly about a transaction that is yet to end. In...

    Not So Happy Christmas...

    Thanks guys. Nice to see some old faces still around, and good to see that some new ones have shown up too. Nice to meet you, MrHughes. IC - yeah, you probably have guessed which one. I'm both surprised and disappointed, considering his reputation. I might be around here a little more...

    Not So Happy Christmas...

    Hello everyone. I've been elsewhere, but I hope you are all well, and that you are all expecting a splendid Christmas. Mine will be marred by a little frustration. A hat I ordered 16 months ago still has not materialised, and the hatter in question is still unreliable in responding to my...

    Baron Hollywood Hats as compared to custom?

    For the price of the beaver version from Baron, you could have Art Fawcett or one of the other custom hatters make you something unique...and still have a couple of hundred dollars left to buy your mrs something, to keep her from complaining about the fancy new hat. I honestly don't get the...

    1st time new ribbon

    Agreed. You've given the hat a welcome summer/tropical touch with the new ribbon. Very proficiently done.

    Federation Problems, anybody?

    Thanks Rusty. I was supposed to post pictures of these hats weeks ago, together with my new block and flange. Now I'm working all week, taking those pictures always ends up feeling like too much trouble. :o I thought I remembered reading that somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Thanks...
