I'll probably stick on my USAF veterans cap today! -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Sunday morning, slept late for a change 7:30, usually more of a 5:30-6 am type of guy. Had a late light breakfast and watching a little news, No hat yet, have not been outside but when I go it will by my new Akrubra Kentucky Rancher -
Akubra Overload
I got the Dark Fawn, don't know how they came up with that name for the color, looks more like a light black bear to me, but I liked it so well that I ordered a light sand. I think that style brim, maybe a little wider, with a telescope brim would look good, more a true southern planter style. -
Akubra Overload
Yes must have bounced the decimal point on that for 17mm instead of 1.7. -
Akubra Overload
I don't know if you were doing so, but I placed the jaws of my calipers well over so the welt was into the notched part of the jaws, so that I was not measuring the welted edge of the brim. -

Akubra Overload
I just did some measuring of three different styles, all Heritage quality, Campdraft deluxe =2.1mm, Fed Deluxe IV =17mm, and Lawson=2.4mm. It looks like the dresser models run thinner and the more sporty model is thicker, but none approached 3mm, much less 5mm. 5mm would be 0.196 " just under... -
Cologne and perfume
I like Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet along with Trafalgar and 1805 by Truefitt & Hill, and occasionally Geir by Geir Ness.- jkingrph

Men who can cook.
My wife has a bunch of cookbooks, which I rarely use. Since retiring, and her having had some rather drastic surgeries, I started helping a lot. Today since it has been turning cooler made a couple of pots of soup, no cookbooks used. One was a chicken, rutabaga, onion, carrot with green...- jkingrph

Akubra Overload
I just pulled out a little electronic Vernier caliper and measured, realizing of course that I cannot get the tension exactly the same on a flat brim or the pencil edge, probably not the same each time on the flat for that matter. The Imperial quality on the Kentucky measures about 3.5mm the... -
Akubra Overload
I just got one of the Kentucky Rancher model, which is the Imperial grade. I just compared it to my Banjo Patterson, Heritage grade. This particular Imperial grade is much thicker and much stiffer than any of my hats in the Heritage grade, almost twice as thick. It may be that the thickness... -
Akubra Overload
I just picked up one from David Morgan, On sale at I think $129 $40 less than the sand. Color is more chocolate than what I think of as a fawn, but i like it. Brim is nice and wide as I like, so it shades my eyes well, I have eye condition and bright light overhead bothers me. I think... -

This was about 1952 or 53. -

Show us your Guns!
I have had one of those for close to 20 years now. With the blowback action I find the recoil very snappy, in fact more so than a couple of micro 9mm Sig's, a P 938 and P365. Along with the Walther PPK I have it's baby brother, a little TPH in 22lr.- jkingrph

9mm or 45cal
Love my Browning Hi Power! It's an early 1980's model, accurized and tuned up, Bar-Sto match barrel, Cylinder and Slide wide trigger(eliminates magazine safety), extended slide release and safety, and cnc milled sear and hammer. Honestly it is more a range toy, fun to shoot and extremely...- jkingrph

More Akubra advice please
Not an Akubra but a couple of Stetsons. The oldest is 45 years old, and was a copy of one of the Clint Eastwood specials in one of the spaghetti westerns.. My dad and I were in a local clothing store and I spotted this one, kind of an olive brown color, telescope bash, and an imitation... -
Who likes vintage tools?
I have an old Craftsman wood lathe from the late 40's and an old Craftsman 1/4" saw handle electric drill from the same period. Hand tools, some wood bodied handplanes, one a provisional where all the top is cast iron for adjustment frog. Dad left me an old monkey wrench he said was supplied...- jkingrph
