    Phoenix Hat Company

    Yeah, the hat has been soaked several times with no issue. This is still my first and only “real” hat so I’m learning. I just noticed the band was fine, just a little looser and less snug than normal I guess because it was soaked. Will it go back to normal after it fully dries out? EDIT...

    Phoenix Hat Company

    The Trekker left the east coast and made a cross country adventure for the first time. Hopping from Seattle to Portland, then Beach combing on coastal Oregon at Haystack Rock followed by hiking Ecola State park. Then riding the Empire Builder Amtrak line across Glacier National Park and the...

    I definitely want to be on the list as well. My Trekker has been on a few adventures in the past year and adore the thing. It may need a buddy...

    Acquired this last week. Always wanted a 30-30, decided to treat myself and snagged a Henry Color Case with the Side Gate.

    My Trekker was loaded up in my Jeep and we went exploring on the Chesapeake Bay for its first of hopefully many adventures. Did some volunteer work with a local conservationist and helped pick up and check for debris and walked the wildlife trails. Despite the grueling heat and sun beating down...

    Show us your Guns!

    That they are. Thank you. There’s a lot of Blackhawks out there so I decided I would give it a personal touch. When he made the grip he called it “super quilted” and they’re stunning in person. I’m keeping the Security Six classic since I’m partial to blue steel half lugs.

    Freshly Oiled. My two rugged favorites favorites. Ruger Security Six with the heavy barrel and Target Grips. Ruger Blackhawk 357 with stabilized quilted maple grips from Chigs. Also pictured: El Paso Saddlery tapered Cartridge Belt and their smooth lined full flap holster. I have a a same style...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    My Alden Indy 403’s I purchased in 2014 as a college Graduation present to myself. These have been through snowstorms and countless miles in Seattle, DC, LA, and a few other places. Recently acquired the 405 classic. Which I regret not doing sooner. I could walk in either of these all day.

    There’s two variants of the “Virginia Trekker” now. I appreciate the help you gave me, Regan. I knew I couldn’t pull off the taller height like yours and I gravitate toward darker earthy colors (however the initial lighter colored Trekker Rick made me is growing on me after seeing it) Just...

    Figure I would show some more photos of this in some lighting since the rain has stopped this evening. The chocolate color really comes through outside in ways the camera may not pick up. Being my first real hat that wasn't a crushable wool one. I’m getting used to handling it. Rick gave it a...

    It arrived. My first real hat. When I was 5-6 in the early 90’s my uncle have me a Stetson Mallory (the Outland I’m guessing since it looks like it) that I wore all over when I explored the woods near my house or the shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay. I was young and didn’t really know what rain...

    It’s nice to peak in this thread every now and then since it builds anticipation for my first custom ever that Rick will do. Looking forward to the days and seeing it age with me and taken on a few trails.

    I haven’t had any problems with anticipation in regards to my future chocolate colored Trekker. It’s been very cool seeing other hat styles and getting ideas for a future Father’s Day gift. I do have some difficulty with terminology and explaining myself since this will be my first “real” hat...

    That Pecan looks really nice. How tall is that one along with brim width? After asking for advice in another thread and talking with Rick I'm going to have my own western weight beaver in chocolate to be my first "real hat" to hold onto for a long time. Seeing photos like this definitely adds...

    Need hat advice

    I appreciate all the input you all have given me. Humanshoes has been listening to my ideas and hopefully I’m not annoying him too much. I’m not really well versed in the subject or the best as wording for everything. Which is embarrassing to admit since I have an English Degree. How should a...

    Need hat advice

    I don't think I can comfortably wear a leather hat, but like the shape. Seems like you'd overheat easily in leather and I don't know how durable they would be. That's a very nice looking hat and glad it served you well. I sent him an email with my musings over this idea along with a few photos...

    Need hat advice

    That's good to hear. I'm basically trying to find a bulletproof hat and remember reading his beaver hat being referenced. The hat doesn't need to be a looker. It will probably get ugly in time anyway. I'm from out of Richmond, VA and spend a bit of time on the Chesapeake Bay. I regrettably...

    Thank you. I plan to send you one later today when I get better service/signal. Definitely looking to get a rugged hat checked off my list.

    Need hat advice

    I’m mainly a fan of the grommet hat band and the overall proportions or scale to the head. Guess I’m using it as reference since I’m not looking for a large hat. I would like something to last me ages from now. Still using a lot of old inherited things that were given to me and the older and...

    Need hat advice

    I’m definitely trying to avoid having a large collection of hats. I still have the old wool Stetson I was given when I was five that is unwearable now and I tried a Stetson crushable for 50 bucks off amazon but I hate how tapered it is. I won’t be wearing the hat everyday, but when I do it...
