grammy hat??
Too many photos of tattered butternut uniforms to be a myth, diaries too. I didn't say anything about "ruining" a uniform or equipment, just "aging". Doofus is a good word.... -
Akubra Campdraft
I have had the Traveller for a week or so now, trimmed the brim down to 2 5/8". I really LIKE the Bran color, reminds me of the Natural color of my Stetson Road Master. The felt has a different hand for sure & the crown is a tad low but serviceable. I'll be putting it thru a Christy's Tube... -
Dating Vintage Stetsons by Liner: A Field Guide
Square size tags like that did start showing up in the mid 1960's but that box, sweat & liner are more recent than that.... -
Akubra Adventurer advice.
I too am a 24", 61cm, 7 5/8. ALL of my Akubras, 5 Campdrafts, Fed4, Boss of the Plains, Bushman, Traveller, are 61's. I always order 61. -
grammy hat??
Doing Civil War reenactment, you had to distress articles to give an accurate depiction of late war soldiers. There is no way that doing this maybe 1 weekend a month would yield the war-torn look of what those men endured. You had to look like fresh troops for famous battles at the beginning of... -

Coordinating clothes...
Silverbelly is a versatile color & goes with most anything, or at least I wear it with most anything. Blue blazer, khaki pants, blue button down....Jeans, plaid shirt, leather jacket....just wouldn't go with a tan coat, look to much like a sheriff's deputy unless that is a look you're going... -
Post New Hats Here!
Even more so for Akubra. The Heritage is significantly different from the Imperial grade. I know Resistol & Stetson have different dye recipes for their Silverbellies, coming from 2 different original sources. Guess the different grades of fur blend at Akubra must take up the dye differently??? -

That is the "streamlining" effect of the box. Key to the box is the insides. Was this one fully in tact, guts & all? Was the strap & snap all in good shape? -

Sounds like the typical Stratoliner hat box. Was it bluish silver with a canvas strap? -

Fedora crown block
Needs to be smaller since your hat is finished with a sweatband. They help getting back to open crown state but you can do the inner teardrop part by hand or with a large spoon or ladle. -

Hat size reducer
Walmart craft dept or Hobby Lobby or Michael's has squares of felt for about 50 cents. Get one & cut it into strips to tuck behind the sweat. I always get the white so there is no chance of dye bleeding if I sweat or caught in the rain. If Art made it for me, I'd have him resize me & adjust... -
Anyone Have an ORVIS® Muir Woods ff Fedora? It's now on Sale
Saw this one in the Orvis Men's Clothing catalog in my "library". Seems to be made in Adamstown, PA by Bollman Hat Company, same maker as Bailey & Eddy Bros. Anybody in the Lounge ever handled or worn one? Looks a lot like the 3 Forks & Moose River... -

Thanks for clarifying Jeff. I purposely stated that it was your offer, not a store one, just should have used "offered" instead of making it sound like a standing one. MANY thanks for what you do for us addicts.... -
