    Akubra Territory - any thoughts on it?

    HAHhhahaha! The unknowing say it is OK, because it is a "dry hot". Me not so much. One of those really hot, uncomfortable, days out on a horse.

    Akubra Territory - any thoughts on it?

    Black in winter when it is cold. White or straw in summer. Temps hit 105F+ here on a regular basis. 115F is not unusual. Sunny here in the high desert, most days, no matter the season.

    Akubra Territory - any thoughts on it?

    Was trying to mimic Crocodile Dundee there with the "that's not a knife scene". :) Rodeo King Hat. Decent hats but nothing special. They come with a 4-1/2 inch brim for $195.00 or a 5 inch brim (generally 4 3/4" or so, never 5") for $205.00 Rodeo King's a Western hat, stiff and built to...

    Steve, I see you have also mastered the "side eye selfie". Not an easy skill to obtain. Well done! ;)

    3.75" brim is a fair size hat. A nicely balanced hat. It looks good!

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Kinda funny really. Silver lake Or is just under 300 miles from my place. Hat has already traveled, 405 + 1331 and it will take at least another 850 to get it here. 2586 miles so far and counting. I should have just driven over and picked it up! I trust the USPS, just not the guys they...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    New hats are like Christmas come early. I have one coming. 100% beaver. Left Silverlake Or on Friday. Ended up in Seattle over the weekend and is now in Denver. I'm in Boise. I don't have high hopes of seeing it any time soon. I usually have great luck and a lot of faith in the post...

    Movie hats

    I always thought Custer's crew was pretty savvy to adopt those plantation hats. Would have just taken a few minutes to age JW's version in some water and a little dirt ;) Great period photos! Thank you. I do like a big straw ;)

    Movie hats

    Off topic some. I always liked JW. And for the most really like his signature movie hats. Although never enough to duplicate any of them. They are JW hats in my mind. Never going to be a hat shape/style I'd wear. But "The Searchers" is one of my least favorite movies even though it does...

    Making a Western hat by hand?

    This thread is now 4 years old. Hope it has helped a few aspiring hat makers. Just a heads up, "I am no longer a source for felt".

    Not every day is a sombrero day. But every day is a big hat day!
