    Akubra Campdraft

    I go to Kroger to the shoe polish section. A good horsehair shoe brush is about $6. Works great. http://www.amazon.com/Kiwi-100%25-Horsehair-Shine-Brush/dp/B0010TR6NE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378316465&sr=8-1&keywords=kiwi+shoe+shine+brush

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks. That move ends my posting to this thread or ever opening it again. This thread is about what hat you are wearing not what scenery & event you are wearing your hat at. Viewing it with all these non-hat photos is problematic on my phone & tablet. Adios....

    Most consider common areas like foyers, hallways, corridors, etc., as acceptable to wear your hat only removing it when entering a more private area like a classroom, office, apartment, etc.

    Help with Akubra styles.

    I use a hairdryer to warm up the glue & slowly undo the liner. I take them out for warm weather wear & put them back in for cooler, just tucked in behind the sweatband.

    Hat wearing has been tempered severely by new job

    I wouldn't leave a decent hat all day in a hot car unless I was shrinking it. Make your hat wearing be after work & weekends, JMHO.

    No way of knowing what your definition of too light of grey is but if you're going off phone photos on the internet good luck.
