Musician's hats
I'm glad I got to see the reunited Pogues a few times. Phil Chevron also wore some nice lids on stage. -
Akubra makes shopping hard!
IIRC, Akubra has been using more imported fur for their felts, which may relate to a decline in perceived quality. -
eBay hats outrageously priced
Delmonico has a 15% code right now, JJ Hats has 10% off if that nudges you towards a Stetson. The Premiere strats are nice, I'd skip the blocked in crease version, but that's more personal preference for the hand creased look. Stetson felt generally has a softer feel than Akubra. Akubra hats... -
Post New Hats Here!
Dead Man is a fantastic modern western. Nice lid too! Good to see those long hair finishes. -
Akubra makes shopping hard!
Radical suggestion: don't buy an Akubra. Akubra makes nice hats. I have a Fed IV. It's a nice hat, that I will happily sing the virtues of. It's weathered many a heavy rain and still keeps its shape. The trimmings are well done, certainly neater than Stetson. They're a great value too. But no... -

Akubra makes shopping hard!
No, I mean, I get it, you're upset that you found a product that is a retailer exclusive after you bought something else. Retailer exclusives aren't new, and aren't unique to Akubra. Hatco used to produce an iteration of the Stetson Playboy for Hats in The Belfry, that was never listed on the... -
Akubra makes shopping hard!
Everything Australian has no incentive to drive customers to The Hattery for a heritage campdraft. Caveat emptor. -
Akubra makes shopping hard!
IIRC, The Bluegrass green started as a special request from Everything Australian. Akubra will produce such variants if there's a large enough order. Such was the case with the Bluegrass Green. Likewise, the Fed IV is exclusive to The Hattery. Having special products for certain vendors... -

As long as we're arguing semantics, is say the premier designation is a modifer to the model. "Stratoliner" = pre-creased, royal quality vs "Premier Stratoliner" = open crown, Royal Deluxe. But the Premier Strats are Royal Deluxe felt. Hatco hasn't been terribly consistent in their liners and... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
https://www.ebay.com/itm/CLEAN-John-B-Stetson-black-felt-derby-boller-size-7-marked-034-select-quality-034-/142602519635?ul_noapp=true&nma=true&si=BTQZslAqUjnYktnNadaSMFHzvOU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 nobody else bid over the minimum on this guy, so I guess I own a... -
Looking for hat information?
Yah I saw that hat on eBay too. No, anybody can find a Stetson box and put a hat in it. I can't really think of an example where it was anything more than seller ignorance though, there aren't really any counterfeit Stetsons. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Not that anybody asked for, or needs, my $.02, but just one comment on Bobgate. And this is not making any comment on any moderator or any decision thereof specifically. Nor is it objecting to the rules of The Lounge, nor the right of the moderators/hosts to set said rules. It's not... -
Akubra's Fawn
Again: manufacturing tolerances; indoor/outdoor lighting; etc, etc, etc. Two batches of ostensibly the same color can have subtle variations. Even if you found a side by side picture of all the colors you want to compare, there's no guarantee that particular batch of hats is going to EXACTLY... -

Akubra's Fawn
Notwithstanding everything else already said about indoor/outdoor lighting; everyone's own monitor calibration; subtle differences due to manufacturing tolerances; different coloration formulas for different manufacturers; etc, I don't understand why you would not consider the catalogue as a... -
Akubra's Fawn
Other than the Akubra website or their catalogue? Every felt hat is going to look different under indoor and outdoor lighting. -
Stranger Things - that sherif hat
Look, aside from the fact that there can be slight differences between felts due to manufacturing tolerances and differences in lighting in the pics you see online, every frame of a show like Stranger Things has been put through a ton of digital processing. In other words, who knows what the... -
Ask a question, get an answer
I'd be interested in learning how and why this happened actually. My suspicion is that felt stiffener increased as felt quality decreased. But if you look at John Wayne's hat in The Searchers, you've got the brim flapping around in the wind. And sure that's a movie hat that's been beat up a... -
Hatters beware! American hatter threatens to sue over matches behind the ribbon!
