The Cutter and Tailor
I just wanted to let interested ladies know that my new forum, The Cutter and Tailor, also includes discussions of ladies' tailored fashions. I know that there are some very capable sewers amongst you here. Some of you will know some of the posters at the new forum such as Claire Shaeffer, who...- Sator

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
Thank you for your advice, Matt. However, as I am located in Australia, I would prefer to try to stick to local hatmakers. I am a physician by profession and have no plans to give that up to sell hats. The suggestion for a forum hat was always just that - a suggestion. If you ever... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
I am used to working with Steve. There seems to be this feeling that the project is highly likely to end in disappointment and that I would be blamed for it and it would cause much ill feeling. This sort of thing makes it very difficult for me. Plus I got this feeling that people suspected I... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
Whatever the case, a hat with major forum involvement is off, as it is far too politically complex. I would not entirely rule out the possibility that I might in future consider something like recreating the Stetson Whippet - perhaps even with Steve/Nungar. With the permission of the... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
I didn't mind putting in the time. I thought it would be fun to custom order an Akubra hat. However, I think all of the profound mistrust being directed to myself and Steve really has so far taken all of the fun out of it. I think I will simply call this project off. -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
The trouble is that Steve is a part time seller. He is a full time farmer and will tell you he knows nothing about hats. There is a terrible drought in New South Wales and he has taken to selling Australiana on-line to alleviate things. I have repeatedly tried to get Steve to participate in... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
Gentlemen, it is indeed a great pity this thread has worked out the way it has. I am not a "middle man", I am someone wanting to be able order a great hat for myself. I have no interest in this beyond that as I am physician by profession and not a hat vendor. I know someone willing to custom... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
Special Order Hat I have been a bit busy and have been meaning to come back to this project. Steve of Nungar is willing to order the hat for us as soon as we can decide on the specifications. The trouble is that my knowledge of hats leaves much to be desired and I need a lot of guidance from... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
The leading candidates I just read through this thread again and here are the leading candidates: 1. A recreation of the Whippet (the most popular proposal by far) 2. A modern update of the Stratoliner 3. A reproduction of the fedora on the FL logo If we can come up with some good final... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
Thanks MK. I understand the situation and will respectfully avoid any suggestion that this project is an official FL project. I hope you don't mind if we still use this excellent forum to (re)create a hat that many would be proud to own. I would like it to be a Nungar exclusive hat as I think... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
OK guys, it's great to see all of this interest. Irrespective of whether this project ends up being an 'official' FL thing or just a group of forumites getting together to recreate a classic fedora design, we are on to a winner. In the latter case we can just give the hat a name of our own... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
So where is this civil war, bloodbath and descent into total chaos which was predicted lol? I need a bit more guidance. In terms of the technical specifications (apart from the design of the hat eg crown height etc which we can work out in due course): 1. Heritage Quality 2. Colours such as... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
This is already sounding promising (and so far quite bloodless). Then again I will be guided by you gentlemen as to the ultimate choice. If others come up with good ideas I would put it up for a vote. It is still early days, and hopefully more people will chip in with opinions soon. -

That too can be arranged. In fact I already have put together a Forum Special boot: http://styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=21179 -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
In the space of a couple of hours this thread has exploded out to three pages. Obviously, there is interest. My 2 cents would be to say that a FL hat would have to be a sharp looking city hat to wear with a suit. For those of you who are price conscious we could look at having a standard and... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
This is the sort of thing I had in mind. I am sure some of you guys know of some classic Stetson or vintage Borsolino model you would love to have resurrected by Akubra in their best quality felt. You see, the advantage for Steve (from Nungar) is that it gives him a model exclusive to his... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
I know but other fora have managed to come up with forum ties and pocket squares. So why not a forum hat? - especially for a forum calling itself the Fedora Lounge. The process has usually involved a vote over proposed designs. As for minimum order numbers, it's different to a one off order... -

A Fedora Lounge Akubra Hat?
Dear all, greetings! - this is my first post on the FL, though many will know me already from other fora. The reason I am posting was that I was talking to Steve of Nungar about ordering Akubra hats. I suggested to him that he should offer city hats, as for now he only offers Akubra...
