    What a Whippet!

    Looks like someone was hit by a low flying bird while wearing this hat... :eek:

    Expediton Fedora

    Although not a fedora, Akubra just came out with the Traveller, a genuine 100% fur felt crushable hat. I just got one last week and I am quite impressed. The felt quality is excellent, as usual for Akubra. Since it is crushable it has no liner and a padded fabric sweat instead of leather. In my...

    Resize both up and down

    The lampshade trick is to wet the inside of the sweatband (the rough side, not the side that touches yer noggin) and then place the hat on top of a lamp. The idea is that the heat from the lightbulb dries the leather and it shrinks. Be careful not to leave it on too long, since it might shrink...

    Rare and hard to find

    I too can vouch for Steve...I have one of his 100% beaver Indy lids that is absolutely top notch. Now I don't have an Optimo or GH to compare it to, but I can say it blows all my Akubras and my Keppler 6x out of the water. At his price, it's a steal. On top of that, he's a great guy to deal...

    FS: Lee Keppler Indy Fedora

    Well, since I got my Adventurebilt Indy Fedora a couple weeks ago and it's taken up permanent residence on the ole' noggin, I've decided it's time to thin out the collection. All of these hats are in excellent or mint condition and come in their original boxes. They have spent a lot of time on...

    Etchison Fedora's???

    Well, the old melon actually measures about 61cm, which should be 7 5/8...but my 7 5/8 Keppler is too loose, and I also had to send my Adventurebilt in that size back in to be sized down. Also my size 61 Akubras are too big. So I guess, even though I measure in at 7 5/8, I am actually a 7 1/2...

    Etchison Fedora's???

    Whew I was watching these hats too, because it's rare anything vintage comes up on ebay in my size. Maybe that had something to do with it too, you don't see many larger sizes like 7 1/2 or 5/8.

    Good hats in the wackiest places

    Hmm I knew the 90's Kilmer/Brando version was a remake, I didn't know it was a remake of a remake. Hollywood is one big recycling bin.

    I want a cool cloth hat...any ideas

    The T3 does have a nice wide brim, and if you like you can snap either side up for that Aussie look. For really good sun protection, the T4 is the way to go. It has a very wide downward sloping brim in front and back to protect the face and neck, a little narrower on the sides but plenty to...

    I want a cool cloth hat...any ideas

    I'll add my vote for Tilley hats, I have both a T3 and T5 and they're great. I plan on taking my T5 to Kauai in August, but looking at your pics makes me want to leave tomorrow! One of the things I like about my T5 is that it has a dark green underbrim, which cuts down on glare out on the...

    Akubra Federation Deluxe

    I beleive the Graphite Grey deluxe has been discontinued, there was a thread on COW a few weeks back that said they were clearing them out to make room for new styles. They've only got sizes 56, 62 and 63 left at the moment. I was lucky enough to get a 61, and must admit it's a great lid. The...

    Finally I have a question about hats...

    That looks a lot like the "Panama Outback" style. Check these out: Noggintops High Desert Noggintops Snake River There's a bunch of straw hats here: HatsInTheBelfry Straw Hats And here: VillageHatShop Men's Straw Hats Maybe something will fit the bill. Good Luck!

    New fedora on HatsDirect!

    Just noticed this added to their fedora section: Akubra "The Fedora" I have seen this on Akubra's website, but haven't found any shops selling it until now. Looks pretty nice, though there aren't any specs or dimensions on the website yet. Says they're taking pre-orders for shipment in...

    Barber Shops

    Went to Andy's yesterday. Wow it was quite an experience, way different than "less-than-super"cuts or any of the other places I've been in recent years. Todd cut my hair, he's the guy farthest from the window but he gave me an excellent cut that looks great. ;) Best I've had in years. Even...
