Top left - Akubra Fed IV, Dark Brown (Loden). Bottom left - Akubra Fed IV, Tawny Fawn. Top right - Akubra Campdraft, Silverbelly (which, despite the way it photographs, is really more of a "sand" color). Bottom right - Akubra Campdraft, Taupe Fawn.

*Cane's Creations #36, a custom by our own Cane Rod Maker. Whiskey felt, Dark Coffee ribbon.


*I know Tim now uses the name Alley Kat Hat Co., but this hat was made before that came to be.

They all look good but I particularly like #36.

Yeah, me too. I wanted a Whiskey hat that was similar to the Fed IV but with a slightly wider and more deeply-flanged brim, and that's exactly what Tim created for me even though I didn't describe it to him in that way. He's a very talented hat maker and a great guy, and I'm very pleased to see him getting the recognition he deserves here on The Lounge.

My favorite chocolate color, a light milky one. My NW West Hats 1942 Rose Bowl snap brim.

I never get tired of seeing that one, Professor! I can't wait until Mike starts my hat!

Nice hats you're posting, and an avid handloader as well!

My first fedora, an Everyman Indy from John Penman.

An ebay hat, a Stefeno I kind of miss now and then but it was too big so it went to a good cause.

A cute little Dobbs Temptation I got for a song.

and a Justin 4x from Sheplers

I remember once saying something to the effect of me having no use for brown hats. Then I got three more brown hats.

The most recent is the excellent quality Fortune and Glory, in tobacco brown (full afternoon sun)

This last one is the Hatco outlet special, crushable fur felt, cotton sweatband. I actually throw this on a surprising amount in relation to my more expensive lids, go figure.

When I got my (I think) 3rd hat, (first two were black, the 3rd was brown (mink)) it was so nice that I decided not to wear it and I never wore it for a looong time. Then I got another brown hat to take the hatband from it but later decided to keep it as it was. Now I have several brown hats...

Stratoliner in walnut. This hat looks really good on me. Strats seem to suit me well I like the way they fit me. The 1st hat I ever bought was a mink Stetson temple. But I never wear it anymore. Strats and Whippets I found out later are more my style

 

[SurfGent]

Didn't stop me from spending a fortune on temples :-\
