A horrible hat experience.
Well, I've got good and bad news for you. People grow up, no matter how hard they may try not to. Someday, you may very well likely be friends with people who you'd have never associated with in high school (such as your classmates with less than stellar reputations). The bad news is; the...- Mark Brody

What size hat do you wear?
Very nice, Stan. That's a lot of work to get a hat to fit you, but it's worth it! I wish we could vote more than once. It seems about half the people here are exactly halfway between sizes - myself included (7 7/16).- Mark Brody

What size hat do you wear?
What bugs me most is that if you look at this hat sizing chart... http://millerhats.com/hatsize.html ... there is 1/4 inch circumference difference between most sizes. Around the top of our bell curve, however, there is a 1/2 inch difference. That's gotta make it difficult for most...- Mark Brody

I'm going to bump this up occasionally so more people will see it, and we'll get a better idea. Interesting that you can already see a bell curve.- Mark Brody

Sourcing Hat Bodies Wool, Straw, Blends?
AF Indy, if your base has an Arts & Crafts center, you could get access to their woodshop without worrying about the IG. I know I got a full day's use of the woodshop here and it only cost me $6 and a 1 hr safety video.- Mark Brody

ANOTHER person makes his own hat
Yeah, since the sweats didn't even really cost much, it's not big deal if I have to replace it in a year or two, but I'd obviously rather not have to. Thanks for the tip, though. The color was called "chocolate". I think my eyes have been playing tricks on me the past couple days, but I'm...- Mark Brody

I meant to post this in my rant, but I got carried away and forgot. The lathe idea would be easier, but it wouldn't work quite right. You can see the difference in the pictures below. One would fit into a flange, but the lathe-made block never would.- Mark Brody

That's something that I DID think to do. I'd tested it out on an older hat of mine, and without the liner, the block made the hat just a little loose on me - perfect. Than the block had to go do what it did. [huh]- Mark Brody

ANOTHER person makes his own hat
I'll do my best (for the rest of you that might be interested in such a venture, take the following as lessons learned. I enjoyed every step of this, including making the block myself. Unfortunately, making the block out of pine cost me. There was a huge gap in time from when I made the...- Mark Brody

ANOTHER person makes his own hat
This was the hat block tutorial that I found. It looks like he used pine. I know I did, but I'd also call that one of my mistakes. Go for poplar or some hardwood. Pine gave me a few headaches... literally. http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=20997&highlight=tutorial As far as...- Mark Brody

ANOTHER person makes his own hat
Posted this over at Club Obi Wan earlier this morning. I thought people here might be interested, too. Most people go for a Fed or Fed Deluxe if they grow impatient waiting for their AB to arrive. I opted to make a hat to hold me over instead. I made the block myself with a tutorial I...- Mark Brody

Making my own hat
That really is incredible! I must ask, how did you get the logo in the liner? I'm considering making my own soon, and I don't know that I could stand a plain liner.- Mark Brody

Akubras at an attractive price.
You know, if you're looking for feminine approval, you could always consult before you buy ;) I know it sounds funny, but I'm usually so excited whenever I order a new hat that I have to show my fiance (or whoever happens to be around) before I place the order. If nothing else, it at least...- Mark Brody

Can't wait to see the hat, Jack! I'm thinking about getting an Akubra, myself, which leads me to... Sidenote: I hear the sizing on the Akubras run a little large, is this true?- Mark Brody

So when did the boater sink from popular wear?
So why is it that Indiana Jones and Bogart have faithful followings of hat lovers if all the other hats have been destroyed by Hollywood. I think it's just one of those things that goes in and out of style, like bell bottoms.- Mark Brody
