    SOLD: Akubra Federation IV, black, size 60

    HAT HAS BEEN SOLD. THANKS. I received it about two weeks ago from HD. It has been worn only for a few minutes while trying it the 3 or 4 times I bashed it dry. I'm asking $85 $75 SPF shipped in the US. I'll also trade for the following Akubra hats in size 60 and in excellent condition: 1...

    The Puzzle of 100 Hats

    avedwards: Excellent memories is not an assumption, it is in the problem statement: "... everyone in line is able to remember all that needs to be remembered and is able to compute all that needs to be computed." Here's the solution based on parity...

    Anyone have an Akubra homburg?

    Thanks for posting these pics, Goose. As I said in a previous thread, I was interested in the Akubra Homburg, but your photos convinced me that I should try one. I contacted HD and, lucky me, they do have one my size in stock. I guess they owe you a commission!

    Anyone have an Akubra homburg?

    I'm no expert, but I think it does work for you. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that it still remains unanswered whether the Akubra Homburg is a typical homburg hat. If anyone cares to elaborate, it will be appreciated.

    The Puzzle of 100 Hats

    Since there's no restriction on how they say "red" or "blue", one strategy is to have everyone except the last person in line call the color they just heard if it was spoken loudly or the opposite color if it was spoken softly. They should speak loudly if the color they are calling matches the...

    An introduction and request for advise

    I may try the eBay route, that's certainly a possibility. Thanks for the information on the black Federations. I should get the Stylemaster this week, but will keep that as an option in the future.

    An introduction and request for advise

    carldelo: No worries, I think it's good advise even if it turns out that it doesn't work for me. There's no free lunch, so I'm trying the Stylemaster to see if I like it. Goose.: I had read about your Hampton before posting. Good to know that you decided to order the Akubra Homburg, since I'm...

    An introduction and request for advise

    carldelo: After looking around for more information on the Stylemaster, I decided to follow your advise and just ordered one in Steel Grey from HD. It does seem to be an intermediate next step. Thanks to everyone who replied for all the recommendations. I'll post photos again wearing the...

    An introduction and request for advise

    I like your suggestion. I looked at the photos of the Stylemaster and it seems to have significantly less taper than the Hampton I currently have and the brim is certainly wider, but not as wide as the Campdraft's. BTW, I'm 5'8".

    An introduction and request for advise

    I was looking at the Campdraft, but since I never wear brown, my best option would be Glen Grey. Since the Federation has also been recommended and it has little or no taper, I'm thinking that maybe I could try one in Moonstone or even Carbon Grey. How do the Glen Gray and Moonstone compare...

    An introduction and request for advise

    Thanks for the recommendations Feraud: The Hampton's brim is 48 mm wide (around 1 7/8"). Thanks to everyone for taking the time to give me some advise. The brim on the N.Y. Hat Co. is 2 1/2". From most of the recommendations it seems that a hat whose crown has less taper may work better, and...

    An introduction and request for advise

    After lurking for a few weeks I've decided to post a photo and request some advise. My interest in hats started about a year ago when I acquired a Tilley TM10 for wearing outside when sunny or rainy. I still have the hat and I'm pleased with its utilitarian nature. My second hat is an...
