Wish and reality...
I don't know. I'm beginning to think that the "wish" and "reality" thing applies to me. I don't wear hats for attention or style. I'm bald and I wear hat outdoors only, to protect my head from the elements. I certainly don't think I look like Bogey or Indy, nor am I trying to. Given today's...- wemedge

How do folks react to your hat wearing?
After much deliberation, I have an Akubra Banjo Paterson incoming from DelMonico Hatter. I view hats as a functional part of daily gear. I depend on hats for sun and rain protection. I also have a Federation which has shrunk some so I don't wear it much any more. I wear my hats with pretty... -

New in town
Well, sort of. I joined in 2005, and haven't posted much, but I'd like to say that I enjoy reading the posts here and the great gear too. Anyhow, just wanted to say hello and see you all in another 9 years or so :) wemedge- wemedge

The Filson Thread
Filson repair etc Thought I'd ask this here instead of staring a new thread- anyone have a recent experience with Filson's repair service? I just sent my Mackinaw Cruiser in for a repair estimate... I heard good things about their warranty, so hopefully they can fix it up. Also looking to...- wemedge

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Here's a dumb one- I was wearing my Filson jacket, khaki shirt and trosers, and my Akubra Federation on this occasion- shopping at the supermarket. One of the young guys working there looks at me, snickers, and says to his buddy "Here's Freddy Krueger". Took me a second or two, then I realized... -

The Indiana Jones jacket. Much hype, little substance?
Oops, I'm really late for this one, but I've been out enjoying my Wested lol I've got the horsehide, and I've worn it on all but the coldest days this winter. It's not the best for layering, particularly with the "80s fit", but it has served me well for everyday use. I would not wear it in...- wemedge

Akubra Federation in my mind...
You fine gentlemen are correct! The Federation is a fine hat in its own right indeed. I wear mine every day, in all weather. Mine is nice and pliable now, but still retains its shape. I need to get a spare; don't know what I'll do if they ever stop making them. wemedge -

new akubra federation
Congratulations, Richard, enjoy your new hat. The Federation is a simple, sturdy hat. Good value for the price. After awhile you will automatically reach for your hat when going outside. I wear my Federation every day. I don't feel completely dressed without it anymore. It is a tall hat... -

Leather Jerkin
Leather Overvest (for wearing over a Norfolk or Field Jacket) I frequently wear a bag/equipment on a strap over my jackets, and my jackets see a great deal of wear on the shoulder where my strap sits. One could sew on a leather patch on the shoulder, but I was thinking of a solution that...- wemedge

Barbour, Filson jackets
If you're concerned about the knit storm cuffs, you may wish to check with Filson to see if the Weekender has them. My Filson does. My left cuff gets caught on my watch occasionally, but overall, they cut down on the chill a lot, keeping the wind from whistling up your sleeves. good luck with...- wemedge

Barbour, Filson jackets
I own a Bedale. Wore it for about 8 years or so. The Bedale is a versatile jacket, a bit light, but the advantage of that is that you can use it as an overcoat if you're wearing a suit, for example (at least, I did). At the same time, with layering, it makes a pretty good field jacket. I...- wemedge
