Fedoras afield
We’re a loose confederation of dancers, musicians and performing artists mostly from Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia. I’m pretty amateur myself but some of these folks do this full time. We had a one week intensive workshop just outside of New Delhi in collaboration with some Indian dancers...- Nathaniel Finley

Fedoras afield
This is not so much “fedoras afield” but it seems the most appropriate place for this post. We’re just coming off a busy performance season in Asia. We do contemporary dance and experimental music and I had four performances in Delhi and three in Malaysia over the last few weeks. The cool thing...- Nathaniel Finley

Fedoras afield
We took a hike out to a waterfall in the Himalayan foothills the other day. It’s a wonderfully peaceful area. The Dalai Lama will be speaking next week so I’m waiting around for that before moving on to Rajasthan. Cheers, Nathan- Nathaniel Finley

The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.
I recently ran across this photo of Twain’s eldest daughter, the much-loved Suzy who died tragically at age 24. Photos can sometimes be misleading but I was shocked by how beautiful she is in this one: Then I found this photo of a young Sam Clemens - he had a striking physical appearance as...- Nathaniel Finley

Recommendation for Outdoors Hat
I just retired my Banjo Paterson after 3+ years of straight wear. We did everything together - camped, hiked, climbed, hung out in jazz clubs. It’s a very versatile choice: both rugged and handsome. I decided not to go with another Banjo but rather a higher-crown replacement so I could have fun...- Nathaniel Finley

I’m off to the mountains with the Buddhists tomorrow. Internet will be spotty. Varanasi was hot and cow-plagued, but I’m thankful to have seen it. With the FED IV. Cheers, Nathan- Nathaniel Finley

The International Wool Felt Consortium
My concerns about wool hats are having them lose their shape in the rain and not being able to rebash the crown/manipulate the brim. Anybody know current models where that’s possible? I’ve seen open crowned wool fedoras advertised and wondered if they were just meant to be worn that way.- Nathaniel Finley

Back in Kathmandu from the eastern mountains. Somewhere out there is Everest... it never cleared up enough to see it. Next week - India! Akubra Federation IV.- Nathaniel Finley

We've arrived within viewing distance of Everest. Early morning hike to the viewpoint at sunrise tomorrow... you can just make out some of the snow caps in the distance.- Nathaniel Finley

fur felt in hot weather?
How has that Akubra Beaver worked out for you, Lando? Do you happen to have any photos? Seems like a tempting offer right now at 220 USD!- Nathaniel Finley

Akubra FED IV at the foothills of the Annapurnas, central Nepal. You can just make out a couple of the 8000 meter peaks behind me. We're not doing any trekking this trip so this is about as close as we'll get to any of the giant ones. Nepal is much warmer than anticipated.- Nathaniel Finley

Post New Hats Here!
My experience thus far with Tibetans has been nothing but class on the grandest scale. They are a warrior people, adventurous and proud, and I have no doubt the reasons why China has had such a hard time subduing them. I'm very excited to be back in McLeod Gange, India, the home of the Dalai...- Nathaniel Finley

Post New Hats Here!
I reckon it's worth about 20 bucks. It is rabbit felt, for sure. Yes, both men and women. Here are just a few shots from google. I'm loathe to take photos of Asians - even asking can be a problem for some - but I did see a number of Tibetan heads in felts while out wandering today. Most looked...- Nathaniel Finley

Post New Hats Here!
So I landed yesterday in Nepal and one of the first things I saw when leaving the airport was a Tibetan gentlemen in a beautiful torquoise open-crowned felt hat. Cool, I thought, I forgot Tibetans like felt hats. My guesthouse being just around the corner from the Big Stupa in Kathmandu, it's...- Nathaniel Finley
