    Yep, see how those ends are loose & not tacked to the hatband body ribbon?

    The Open Road Guild

    Posting page numbers only works if I have my options set exactly like yours. Some view recent post first, some in original order. None of my OR's have the ribbon ends tacked against the hatband ribbon body. They all have a loose end down on the brim. Some more than others. Subtle differences...

    Australian Dollar weak again...

    Yep, but don't have the Imperial Silverbelly since I sold it once I got the Heritage version. Favorite is the Moonstone followed ever so closely by the Bluegrass Green, which is the Fedora Lounge version with 2 5/8" brim width.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Mine get a subtle up-turn of the rear brim, almost like a pencil-curl around the back edge....

    Akubra Campdraft

    I've got 2 Heritage Campdraft Deluxes First one, because we at the Lounge convinced them to make the run & second, because that's the only way to get one in Moonstone. Overall, the felt hand & finish are better, ribbon & sweat are better...justify that much added cost = good enough for me.

    Western, anyone?

    My vote goes for the Bushman = classic Aussie hat, sort of the Open Road of Oz, IMHO. (Campdraft is an Open Road) Plenty of brim, plenty of crown. Snowy River is too touristy for me. Cattleman has too low of a crown for me.

    Get a Hat Jack or a vintage hat stretcher off ebay. Most western wear stores that have a hat dept can stretch one while you wait. If you are a serious hat wearer, at hat jack is pretty much necessary equipment like a hat brush, IMHO. Some folks use their bent knee but I keep my stretchers &...

    Cowboy Boots

    Dead on Frank about the types of soles on boots. They are confusing fashion boots with REAL boots. As far as hat blowing off, how many years have cowboy hats been staying on heads while rider is on the back of a running horse? Truly horsedip...somebody high on power...
