Akubra Capricorn Review
Just an update on my soon to be three year old Capricorn. The "Akubra" label detached from the inside of the crown. It had gotten funky enough that it wasn't worth trying to salvage. Other than that, it's doing great. Survived a trip to Disneyland where it got shoved in some hat unfriendly... -
Older Bailey Open Road Clone....????
Job, that looks darn close. It's nothing like the modern Stetson Stockman that pops up in Google searches. This old Bailey has a bound edge, and if the band was replaced with an OR style ribbon I'd be hard pressed to tell it from an OR. The felt isn't stiff like a modern Western, feels much... -
Older Bailey Open Road Clone....????
Spotted this one on Ebay and a friend who was looking for an OR type lid snagged it after I pointed it out to him. Showed up today, pretty nice shape, cattleman crease, silverbelly type color, three cord band, dimensions are pretty darn close to the Stetson OR and the Resistol San Antonio I... -
"It isn't a @*$%> cowboy hat"
I wear a Resistol San Antonio with a teardrop crease sometimes. My wife calls it "the cowboy hat", and when I asked her why, she said it's the color and the "tallness", along with the "shoelace ribbon". Who am I to argue, she nailed all the identifying features. I've never gotten the cowboy... -

Akubra in New York?
Gents, Is there a place where the Akubra "fashion" line of fedoras can be seen in New York, or the surrounding area? I've recommended the Akubra line to someone in that area who would like to try a few on, or at least see them in person. Thanks in advance! -
Shave of the Day
Great plating job. Can I ask where and how much? I've got some sow's ears that might make good silk purses.- TopGumby

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Goose, it that the Retro? I almost got that instead of the Capricorn, now I want both. Today was another sunny Capricorn day. Wore it while pitching some balls to the kid, he's getting good enough that I might ditch the hat for a helmet. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
JP, enjoy your time in the Corps. In 1980 I thought retirement was a million years away, but now it seems like it was over in a matter of days rather than decades. My hat is off to the young guys who are bearing the load now while I goof off. -
Akubra Overload
New Fawn Capricorn...I know it's got it's own review thread, but it's an Akubra! -
Akubra Overload
The only time I've wished for something else is when I'm wearing a gray suit...I think I might pop for a Stylemaster in a gray to fill that niche. Oh, and nothing against those fine, high crowns but for some, low is a good way to go, and you might find that you prefer low in an urban... -

Akubra Overload
If I asked a bunch of people what color my Acorn Fawn Stylemaster is, the response would be "brown". I think this is the day I got it....since then I've worn it almost every day for six months. My wife much prefers it to my Resistol Open Road clone, and I think it's a combination of the... -
Akubra Capricorn Review
Goose, I'm thinking that both work for you, but that wider brim is working overtime. I like the balance of the look with the Capricorn, but I think the Hayman looks a little more like a day off. I'd say go with the Hayman for the beer on the beach, and the Capricorn for the cocktail at... -
Akubra Capricorn Review
Lots of great Capricorn pics. Mine has the colors that I've only seen on the picture that D.W. Suratt posted. Here's a shot: On the noggin: I've had a few positive comments on the hat from non enthusiasts, and if I tell 'em it's plastic, they are very surprised. -
Straw Hat Day
If what I read in "Hatless Jack" is true, straw hat day used to be rather brutally enforced in many US cities, and those unlucky enough to be caught with the wrong hats on after the appointed day would have them knocked off by gangs of street toughs or simple passers by, and the hats would then... -
Akubra Capricorn Review
Happy early Father's Day here! Capricorn arrived. Prepared myself for the mental anguish of waiting a month until Father's Day got here. Wife decided to put a stop to any moping by giving it to me today! First impressions: It doesn't look like plastic. It's a shade too big...
