    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Jack, thanks. I'm generally not in favor of cutting brims, either, but I'll wear this one more like this. It has soft felt, not stiff at all. It had a 3 1/4 inch raw edge brim and I used a 1/2 inch brim trimmer to take it down to 2 3/4. (Don't tell Joao!) I re-blocked the crown and put a diamond...

    Late '50s Stetson No. 1 Quality, reworked from a western into a fedora.

    what do you do ...?

    Zombie, I would count it. From the small world department: my brother-in-law was an extra in that movie, too.

    Miles--good advice, which I've managed to heed about 99.8 % of the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    what do you do ...?

    I've been trying to get my head around what to write in this thread. I've done so many things to make a living. The question is "what do you do?", but I can't answer that without some context, meaning "what did I do?" So I'll try. These are the things I've done for money: Musician, construction...

    Which looks better -- a Stetson Open Road or an Akubra Campdraft with a Cattlemen's Bash?

    Agreed, Benz. I haven't been able to get any of my CDs to look good with a full cattleman's crease. The only way to do it may be Atticus Finch's Optimo option. I've been able to take away some of the cone-like look from the front and still get the full "owns-the-ranch" side profile by doing...

    Thanks for posting that, Fed. It brings back some memories.

    Does yours have a model name printed on the sweatband?

    Here you go, Rick. Let me know if you have a match. This one sold originally at a place called Prager's in Big Spring.

    Anthony--the Gannon is amazing. Great choice on the ribbon and felt combination. Congrats. Harv--yes, the RMs look OK out of the box but it definitely need some reworking. I'm happy with mine. Thanks to you both for the comments on the Strat.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Very little time to participate lately as we moved our company to new offices last week. Working again today, getting the new place tuned up and the old quarters ready for return to the landlords. Now I have to get accustomed to being a cubicle jockey. Good light for hats pics, though. Late...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    The RM Williams arrived last week. I re-blocked and re-flanged. It has all the Akubra Heritage grade Campdraft trimmings and proportions. It's essentially the same hat. The mid-brown is really a deep chocolate brown. The second pic is the most accurate color representation.

    Happy Super Sunday to everyone on who is interested. Another stellar hat display by all. Lee Trinity

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    moon and Fed, we will have to compare notes on the R.M. Williams, then. By the way, it looks like the Australian Gear and Hats by the Hundred websites have the same format. I think they're the same outfit.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I'm looking forward to this mid-brown RM Williams Akubra, which should arrive Monday. From everything I've read, it's basically a pre-creased Campdraft. The first order of business will be to re-block it, re-flange it if necessary, and hand-crease it. Hats by the Hundred in Brisbane has them...

    Greg, yes, it's a rare one. I'm fortunate to have it.

    A beautiful afternoon in Northern CA. Remnants of the past--the local Spanish mission church, a Stetson Whippet.

    Breathtaking in person, I'm sure, Alan. The photos offer just a hint. There are so many enchanting places in the Southwest.
