    Brims - How do you like them

    Bound brims are more formal than raw edge. Even a country hat like a Stratoliner/Open Road sports a bound edge. The only difference in a Playboy & a Wanderer is a bound edge. I like them both but favor the Wanderer. Back in the heyday, replacing the edge binding was the same as replacing the...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    They are all close to 3", but 2 7/8" to be exact. The first is a custom by Cane Rod Maker, Lounger. Next is cut-down Resistol western, see Conversion Corral thread. Last is Akubra Campdraft. Now that I look at it, the last 2 are the same band that Art made for the Journeyman. Didn't...

    The Wearable Hat Collection: Style and Color

    I have a couple of hats I wear every day to go to the barn & feed + clean stalls. The reason for a couple is I sweat in them cleaning stalls & one needs to dry, so the other gets a turn. As far as what gets worn out of the house & to work, that depends on time of year. Early Fall & late Spring...
