Thanks Anthony! Couldn't imagine a nicer compliment
Thank You, Charlie! It always seems like my Neanderthal brow is blocking one of my eyes in the "over the goggles" shots
Harv, my Father-in-Law has had a Scout from the family old car boneyard for sale for almost a year now, no takers. More of a parts car than a project but little interest just the same. May have to put it on ebay.
Great RM Harv! That's a big "no deal" on the Scout, trying to unload one myself!

Moe, love that Pimbell! That's a new one on me
From Crescent Beach in Cape Elizabeth, Maine
Akubra Campdraft
Visiting friends and staying at The Inn By the Sea. Nice place, highly recommend
What Akubra calls the "mid brown" is actually a dark brown like Andrew was asking about. I love the "Fawn" color like Johnny is suggesting. It's one of Akubra's best colors. The "taupe fawn" in the Campdraft is perhaps, their best color. Well maybe the bluegrass green. It's a toss up
Many of the old flanges have a flatter front and a more cupped back. Note the top flange below.
If you want a more shallow flange I suggest going up a size or two, say from a 2 3/4 to a 2 7/8 or even a three inch flange. This will give you a flatter brim without completely eliminating the curl.
There are differences between the Brown Campdraft and the RM (I have both) but they mostly have to do with the shape of the crown (taller and a little tapered in the RM) and the brim on the RM is fixed down in the front and back where the Camp Draft is a more traditional upturned flange that can...
Everyone looks so well hatted today!
Michael, those boots are killer! I've been wanting a pair like that for a while to go with the vintage motorcycle I also hope to get
This is going back a few days but,WOW Bob! That deserves a prize for the most gills ever!
Some great stuff going on while I was away, can't wait to catch up!
7XCB
Now that I look at it maybe it should be 7XCBQ............ah, I like 7XCB better
Perhaps walk there with a hat you don't value so much.
Walk with a cane or umbrella. Put it through the spokes of one of these thugs bikes.
Watch and enjoy.
Then get ready to run because the others whose bikes still function may give chase
I would echo this. Some schools put emphasis on sparring and are very good, some are just making money. Martial arts training proved useless to me a a skinny smarta$$ teenager who got picked on by bullies. Boxing and bench pressing 400+ lbs proved more useful
Ninman, add me to the chorus that you handled this "no win" situation as well as could be expected.
I can't say I'd handle it any better, in fact, I'm sure I wouldn't.
Bottom line, you got your hat back. Safe and sound
