    Whats your favorite Hat for warm weather

    Light-colored Akubra Territory is it for me. Tried the straw Resistols etc. I find them very hot and sweaty, and not as comfortable and conforming as the Territory. The 4 inch brim gives me portable shade. Regards, Gerry

    Favorite Uniforms

    Australian Light Horse uniform in Palestine, and the Canadian 2nd Mounted Regiment uniform in the South African War (Boer). I guess it's the hats.

    What Is Your Favorite War Movie?

    For pure excitement , courage, filming, and again, excitement........... another vote for Simon Wincer's fabulous "The Lighthorsemen". Why isn't there a proper version of it on dvd after all this time? Regards, Gerry.

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    They also look like a pair of boots I have from Schnee's footwear in Bozeman, Montana......fabulous 16" leather top with a rubber bottom. Takes you right back to the 1930's. It's pronounced "shnays". Gerry

    If you could live/move anywhere right now, where would it be? Why?

    Two choices, I love them both...............Boerne, Texas (small town north of San Antone, in the Hill Country , friendliest people I've ever met) and Bozeman, Montana. Canada is okay in the summer, but way too much winter...

    Schnee`s

    I live in my Schnee's (pronounced shnay's) 16" leather top guide boots in moose hunting season. Picked them up in Bozeman myself. Excellent product, retro-styled to boot!! Happy New Year from Canada, Gerry

    Pulling Off the Casual Look

    Not really....... Django's coupe is a very cool street rod, methinks, as fitted in the 50's, and therefore his attire is perfect for the hot rod/street rod culture. Rock on, Django! Regards, Gerry.

    Removing stains from felt

    Sandpaper Fine grit sandpaper is used in the manufacture of beaver fur hats, and can carefully be used to remove a mark that is not too deeply imbedded in the felt. Gerry

    Horrible movies, and the people who get duped into waching them....

    "Australia" was a big disapointment for me. Poor acting, too much CGI phony action. Same problem with Indy IV.........cartoonish.

    WHO made Johnny Depps hats for Public Enemies

    CopperNY and 1OldGI..............well spoken, and thoughtful, both of you. I am a fan of the cinematic efforts of Michael Mann in his law enforcement-themed films, "Heat" being a best example. He has a knack for capturing the essence of the "cop personality" played against the "criminal"...

    A new Camp Draft

    I reaLLY like that hat ! RBH...........NICE job on the bash. Are the dimensions similar to a Fed IV? The Fed I just received was just over 5 1/2 inches open crown. I know a thin ribbon gives different optics than a wide one, but your crown looks really high, which I like a lot...

    Akubra Overload

    Randal..........my Fed IV Deluxe arrived a few weeks ago with a perfect turn-up flange all around the brim. All I had to do was bash the crown and flip down the front of the brim, and the back of the brim had a great flange dip to it. Regards, Gerry

    Guitars

    Kools......you have really neat gear! Especially the vintage amps mellow sound I'm sure. This is my non-vintage Fender Custom Shop '51 Nocaster. I'm 57 years old, I'm re-living the 60's when everyone was in a band! Regards, Gerry
