Akubra stiffness
Sorry, I just looked again and no the word “inferior” was not used but it was certainly implied. Again, I find nothing whatseoever inferior about a brand that offers the quality that Akubra offers for a price a working family can afford. The fact that one would be best served by personally...- Nathaniel Finley

Akubra stiffness
I’ve worn Akubra exclusively for about 4 years, mostly because I didn’t know anything better and the price was right for me. But I recently purchased my first “vintage” hat and I find myself reaching for it more and more often. I don’t know if it’s the kashmir finish or the stingy brim but...- Nathaniel Finley

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
We just received some wonderful images of performances we did recently in New Delhi. Okay, so these aren’t photos of “today,” but it is the hat I’m wearing today! :) With the FED IV. And finally, my “Don’t hassle me” look while strolling through a market: Cheers, Nathan- Nathaniel Finley

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Yeah, I’ve got to figure out what I’m going to do with all these beautiful felts. I might gift one to a friend for Christmas and maybe delay the Northwest Hats order until the middle of the year. I can juggle two hats while traveling (one stingy and one wide brimmed) but more than that is going...- Nathaniel Finley

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I just purchased my first Stetson - purchased it outright rather than bidding because I loved it so much. It’s a 3X beaver and I’m quite sure it’s from the 50s even though the ad said it was from the 30s. I love this ribbon and the matching yellow trimming, and the felt looks like I could swim...- Nathaniel Finley

Excellent, Mayser, thank you for sharing - this solves the mystery! There is indeed something funny going on in this ad and your friend was able to see through it whereas neither I nor the individual who translated the ad on your website caught it (and no, the translation on your website is not...- Nathaniel Finley

Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.
It was that navy blue one that inspired me to order a navy blue Strat clone - Mike had it up on Facebook a few months back. It looks like a gorgeous felt!- Nathaniel Finley

Sorry, just to put this back on topic, here’s a photo of the cap I’m wearing just now. This is a traditional Sardinian variety that I picked up a few years ago in the town of Olbia, northern Sardinia. I love that place and I love this hat!- Nathaniel Finley

German has very strict rules about word order: the main verb always has to come in the “second position” in the sentence, for example. This makes for some very interesting writing, since what is meant by “fist position,” “second position,” “third position” etc. isn’t exactly the number of words...- Nathaniel Finley

I placed my order with Mike a few weeks ago: navy blue Stratoliner clone. I am super excited to get home in February and find it waiting for me (I hope). It will be my first beaver felt!- Nathaniel Finley

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I was thinking the same thing Redfokker - if it’s dialect it could be Swabian. I suspect that’s not the answer but I would like to hear from a native speaker whether or not this grammar is weird to him/her. Nice photos! One of these days i’m going to take a summer and hike through the Black...- Nathaniel Finley

Here’s the most confusing bit of the ad, Mayser: “Dauerhaftigkeit traegt vorstehende fabrikmarke in golddruck auf dem Schweissleder.” To me this is just grammatical nonsense, but I’m a non-native speaker. This literally translates as either, “Durability carries protruding factory brand in...- Nathaniel Finley

Thanks for the link, Mayser! It would be interesting to hear what a native speaker thinks of that grammar. To be honest, the German in the booklet of information about the manufacturing details was easier to follow than the German in this advertisement and the translation of the advertisement...- Nathaniel Finley

That seems to be some serious German in this advertisement. What’s your opinion, Mayser, is this difficult language? I can’t see this being meant for the typical working class of the time. Here’s my translation: At the top it says it won a bunch of golden medals across Germany, then there’s...- Nathaniel Finley
