    Stetson Dune Model

    Different strokes for different folks... I like crowns right around 4 - 4 1/2" and a bit of taper. Those Stovepipe straight hats just don't do it for me.

    Stetson Dune Model

    I like everything about the Stetson Dune & The binding on the brim gives it a dressier look than other gun club hats. My only minor objection is the thin ribbon hat band. My humble thought is that it's looks nicer with a leather band. As soon as I locate a nice looking replacement band, I'll...

    Movie hats

    Mike went to high school with my mother in Watervliet NY. Every time one of the movies he appeared in was on TV, She'd tell us stories about him. Murder My Sweet gets my approval for no reason other than I like Mike Mazurki. :cool:

    Just Got my new Akubra Snowy River and...

    When I was shopping for my Banjo Patterson hat. I wasn't sure what the difference was between the Stylemaster's Acorn Fawn and the Heritage Fawn color of the Banjo Patterson. I reached out to hats by 100 and hat's direct about the colors. Hats by 100 replied " it's darker" Hats direct sent me...

    Stetson Dune Model

    The Dune is a nice hat, but I wish it came with something other than that thin ribbon hat band. Something similar to the other Stetson gun club hats like the Catera might be perfect.

    I've been eyeing the Stetson Dune hat for a while now. The only reason that I haven't bought it yet is that I'm not a fan of hats with thin ribbon hat bands. I would prefer a nice slightly narrow leather band on it. I've looked at Etsy and others, but all I see are horsehair or really western...

    Akubra Cattleman

    I know that the Cattleman hats in stock at Delmonico hatter's have linings. I can't recall if they had strap holes. The cattleman was just too much of a hat on my head. I opted for the Banjo Patterson. Dave

    Akubra Overload

    What's the preferred method of storing Akubra hats with Safari style brims when not being worn? I'm guessing upside down on their crowns like Fedora's. But do you just leave the brims as is??

    Indicators of a low quality hat:

    I wear my better hats on a daily basis. But during inclimate weather, I'll put on the lite-felt hat. There's rarely a comment about my other hats, but stranger's will compliment me about the Bailey lite-felt hat. Makes me wonder if a good hat in a similar style would generate the same...

    I find it amusing that out of all my good caps & hats. My Bailey litefelt Curtis never fails to get a compliment.

    Indicators of a low quality hat:

    I'm concluding that this opinion is strictly from a collectable standpoint. Or are you saying that the hats that 90% of the general public wears & loves is junk??

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Just placed an order for a Fawn Akubra Banjo Patterson from Hats Direct They suggested using courier service shipping because standard shipping to the US is now 1-2 months as a result of Covid 19 delays.

    Akubra Overload

    Can someone please tell me what the difference is between the Fawn color of the banjo Patterson and the Acorn Fawn color of the Stylemaster is? Is the Banjo Patterson darker or lighter? Or is it just the same color?

    Akubra Overload

    Akubra's can handle just about anything. But apparently they can't survive being run over by a riding lawnmower. I was mowing the lawn and a wind gust blew my old beat up Acorn Fawn Stylemaster off my head and directly under the mower deck. No photos out of respect for the Dead. Time to...

    Scotch Guard? Scout Felt Hat Protector?

    I own both of those hats. My Chatham is a Sovereign level and the Roadster is Royal Deluxe Scotch Guard will help protect the Chatham, but my biggest issue with the Chatham hat is that the brim is not thick or sturdy. Combined with the lack of binding on the brim edge; it tends to get really...
