    Miller 345 Covington Fedora

    Thanks for the responses! Always can count on the members here! I am considering that as a purchase. I'm not seeing any availability on Fawn or tan Campdrafts, I may wait to see if any start to show up in June.

    Akubra questions

    "Crown Height- ~ 92mm (measured from where low point on crown to base of the internal leather sweat band)" Doesn't that sound like they are measuring inside from the lowest point of the telescope to the base of the leather sweatband? I'm trying to figure out if you push the telescope out if the...

    Akubra questions

    By the way Cuvier, I'm also looking at the Pastoralist on Everything Austrailan"s site. It Would need to be rebashed to a center dent with a pinch for my tastes but that's possible only I'm not sure of the open crown height.

    Akubra questions

    Cuvier said: "or do I wait on the possibility of a CD in the right color showing up?" I'm with you on the color choices for the Campdraft, I would like a Fawn or Taupe myself. Some suppliers show "Sand" with a tan brim binding some show a similar color body with silver or grey binding called...

    Cowboy Action Shooting anyone?

    I "discovered" CAS for myself in 1996, joined here in 2005 as part of a search for hats. I shoot in New Jersey with The Quinton Mavericks and the Jackson Hole Gang as "Johnny Crockett" although it's been tough to get out in the last 10 years. I shoot Italian 1873 SAA copies in .45 Colt an...

    Fernandez y Roche Sevilla hats?

    I was wondering if anyone can comment on these hats construction? I've seen several on Ebay and really like the styles, the prices vary wildly and the best description I see of construction is "wool blend." That being said the texture does look a bit like wool but the liners, sweatbands and...

    What leather conditioner do you use?

    Be careful with mineral oil! I've had a personal bad experience with Baby/Mineral oil. When I was riding horses as a kid some folks used baby oil to quickly soften and darken new tack (saddles and bridles.) Normal care of tack also reqires periodic cleaning with saddle soap and re-oiling...

    "Hatless Harry" Apparel Arts

    Three things come to mind that could also have effected those statistics, WW1, The Great Depression and WW 2. Millions? of young men in the military, many factories of all kinds out of business or converted to war essentials and general lack of disposable income for many people.

    Lack of manners abound in our world

    I saw the same listing and question and felt compelled to send the seller a note of encouragement and recommend they block the questioner. I somehow was embarassed for all of us interested in hats by the rude question!:rage:

    Amish style hat?

    Deerskin - The Troublesome Hide

    While it may be too late for those gloves, I remember hearing that putting gloves on and rubbing them with a hand washing motion with DRY oatmeal will often clean gloves. The other thing I've seen is this clay ball that is for cleaning white buckskin(with a sueded texture I assume) but is...

    Strike-anywhere matches

    Try Sears Hardware I found Ohio Blue Diamond strike anywhere matches in my local Sears Hardware store here in New Jersey of all places (we're not even allowed to buy sparklers in this state!). If all the stores haven't closed due to the merger with K-mart they still may have them, usually...

    An Inconvenient Truth - Moved From The Motion Picture Forum

    And Another Thing! Thank you James Powers, we should also ask how much of that $3.00 a gallon goes to the government in taxes, talk about excess profits! I heard one statistic that stated the actual price of gas without the government's share would be about $1.80.
