    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I tend to stay around 2-1/2" brims, but I do have some bigger 3-1/2 to 3-1/2 brims too... they all have their place on the wall ( and on my head in sunny weather).

    Show us your Pipes

    Picked up a bit bigger used pipe stand this week ( cool nautical ships wheel theme). Got the refinishing complete today. Came out decent, but I think it looks better full lol. So far the only issue is that some of the bigger pipes dont like to share space with a tobacco jar in the middle. No...

    Post New Hats Here!

    The new Featherweight brim behaves decently when its snapped down in front AND back. Centerdent behaves a lot better than trying to do a teardrop. I think im just going to brush some dust off and leave it alone.

    Akubra Overload

    I believe the both Salvation Army store in Perth AND the Goodwill Store in Sidney are both listing things on Ebay now. Ive seen several nice Akubra things (AND bought a few) from both that Id never seen over here. Always supposed they were either special orders for a particular store there or...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I swapped out a hatband on the Akubra Coobalah yesterday. Figured I wear it out and about today and see how it looks in the daylight. The original crocodile hatband was kind of lopsided ( 1" tall on one side and 1/2" on the other), so it had to go... I salvaged this nice feathered band off of a...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    if anyone is interested, there is a really nice looking rare LIGHT GREY Akubra Bogart on ebay right now. Id be all over this one but its too small ( I once stretched a 57 Black Bogart up to my headsize ( in between 7-1/4 and 7-3/8) it turned out well, but it was a long arduous process I really...

    Akubra Overload

    Once again I'm impressed with used hats out of Australia! They evidently don't trash their hats like Americans do. Got here reasonable quick, well packed with ZERO packing peanuts lol! This thing is beautiful! Really nice green, super soft smooth felt (thin firm but soft dress weight felt) ...

    Akubra Overload

    Excellant info! Ive got a couple of older Akubras. A Little Brown Metropolitan with the triple row stitching on the brim has always been one of my favorites. I am usually fond of ALL Akubra things, but Im particularly fond of some of the older "Town:" hats that rarely seem to make over here to...

    Thought one the Stetson Temples looked lonely this morning (Sovereign in Sage). For a more modern hat, most of my Temples are surprisingly soft and smooth. Really comfortable hats
