    Fedoras in France

    attitude I haven't been to Paris for 20 years now, but I remember that it was definitely style-conscious to the degree that the very worst excesses of the 80's in men's fashion were EVERYWHERE, because that was what was up-to-the-minute at the time...but it was ghastly, a lot more gaudy and...

    foxhole ergonomics Much as I would love to own one of these things for aesthetic reasons, it's impossible in this country without an incredible amount of bureaucracy, anyway, what I'd like to know is, does the drum mag refill? Previous posts discussed the efficency of the simpler magazines for...

    What size brim is "stingy"?

    matching up Bearing in mind the relationship between lapels and brim width, can one successfully wear a stingy with a DB suit? I wonder.......

    3 men in a boat

    Just for amusement I put these three Stetsons in a row in order of brim width. From R-L a Hampton, San Juan, and Open Road, they are all Australian Stetsons though, and probably made by Akubra, but the felt is definitely softer than your usual Akubra

    I need to see a shrink

    I see lots of tips here about stretching hats to larger sizes, what about the reverse? The Bogart I just scored (you can see in the other thread) is just too big even with foam inside the lining; it just don't sit right. I'm going to just wet it and put it in the sun for want of a better...

    the shoe was lost

    fitting The store is a "bush outfitter's" so boots and clothes are also on sale, but anyway, I got the hat, in exchange for a total beater I had given up on, the only problem is it's about 3 sizes too big, it's an AKUBRA BOGART, and as you see in the photos, the nail hole ain't that bad, I'm...

    the shoe was lost

    rust in the dust It's a thing with the bushies, they take great pride in how beat-up their hat is, a fashion statement in fact. It's the same with Drizabones, it shows you're a dinkum bushman not some weekend farmer.

    the shoe was lost

    as requested here are SOME of the hats on the walls, but no decision on the one I want yet, as boss was out when I called in.
