    Just Ordered...My First Fedora!

    Rubbing it in eh? :mad: Just kidding. Welcome to the forum Jaifree. Wow! I'm really surprised how many people have the Sydney, I had no clue. Mine should arrive today, but I won't see it until I get home from work...around 10pm tonight. As impatient as I am about waiting a week for...

    What men think of women's hairdo's

    For what it's worth, if not for the great distance, I'd beg my wife to have you do her hair just like yours.

    What men think of women's hairdo's

    My vote is for RetroBabydoll's (assuming that is her in her avatar). I love blonde hair ;)

    Just Ordered...My First Fedora!

    I have a funny feeling, if I would have told her my size is exactly 7 5/8, she would have said the sizing is exact. :rolleyes: :eusa_doh:

    Just Ordered...My First Fedora!

    According to UPS, it should arrive tomorrow :cool2: ;) . I'll definitely let ya know what I think. I'll probably do so this coming weekend. That will give me some time to put some mileage on it. BTW...Thanks for the taper explanation NonEntity.

    Well Dressed Bank Robber

    Did a much better job :eek: [huh]?! I suppose I agree, since that was a movie, and not the real thing! :eusa_doh:

    Poll: When you see a fellow hatwearer...

    I choose "A" I seriously don't recall ever seeing anyone wear a fedora! It seems to me I would've noticed [huh]. I just ordered my first fedora, so I've never wore one. I have been wearing my Tilley T3's for quite a few years. As ugly as they are, I have had a number of compliments. A few...

    I just wanted to say...

    Unfortunately, I know all too well of what you speak :( . From a fellow, Northern Michigander (although, not near as North)... Welcome! Congrats on the new hat. Thanks to this forum, I also just bought my first fedora...an Akubra Sydney.

    Just Ordered...My First Fedora!

    You know, I've heard many refer to a fear of the crown tapering after the hat gets wet...but I'm not sure I really understand what that means [huh] .

    Akubra CEO or Akubra Sydney

    I"m sure someone already said this, but I'll repeat it for the sake of confirmation: The Sydney doesn't have a bound brim, the CEO does. Because of that, I'd say the Sydney is, relatively speaking, more casual than the CEO. By the way, I just ordered a Sydney for myself in "regency fawn"...

    Just Ordered...My First Fedora!

    I can't wait to get it! I'm really nervous over the fit. I ordered it in 7 5/8. My head measures 23 3/4" exactly, so I'm right dead center between 7 1/2 & 7 5/8. I called David Morgan's customer service before ordering it, and the lady I spoke with, said the Sydney runs pretty true, size...

    Just Ordered...My First Fedora!

    After researching it way beyond the norm (I'm a very obsessive person :o), I finally made up my mind and ordered my very first fedora this morning...the Akubra Sydney in "regency fawn" from David Morgan. I figured I'd better ease into the world of fedoras. I was going to have Art make my...

    My new DM Akubra Adventurer

    The DM site, shows the hat with the brim, front and back, sloped down. Is that the way the hat is meant to be? Or is it just how they happen to show it? I ask because I would want the front down, and the back up (you're typical fedora...I'm sure there's a term for it, but I don't know what it...

    Photography 100 (not quite 101). A Tutorial For Taking Photos of Your Hats

    Absolutely. You are correct. It's not that you can't correct images to a large degree and get the intended results. It is usually possible...but not always. I've seen many times where an image is so dark as to have no detail to bring out of the black, no matter what you do with software...

    Photography 100 (not quite 101). A Tutorial For Taking Photos of Your Hats

    Nice hat Al! Remember, they are guidelines, not rules. It's not that you can't get a good photo without following them. But your chances are increased tremendously if you do, and you won't have to fuss with the photos so much, adjusting the color, brightness, etc., in the computer. There are...

    In that case, I'll get $1000 worth of Woodchuck Amber Draft Cider and bring it to the steer roast. ;)
