    Comparing a 7X CB/Fifty to a 100, there is a jump but not justifying double the price. The case could easily be included for the $100 when that was a considerable sum. It wasn't free but included for the price.

    Cuffed Jeans

    Exact reason I only wear the 13 MWZPW (pre-washed) Wrangler Cowboy-cut jeans. I'm always looking for them under $25 & they get washed regularly due to the horse smell!

    Hat sizing revisited

    No Warren - remove the shim material, wet the sweatband leather itself. It is the drying & evaporation that will draw the leather sweatband. I shim hats with felt strips, can get a square at Walmart craft dept for 50 cents. Ditto to what AF says about the Campdrafts!

    Hat sizing revisited

    Welcome Warren, Shrinking one size, 7 to 6 7/8, should not be that big of an issue. Dampen the sweatband with the added shims you have behind the sweat removed & leave it in a hot car. The sweatband will shrink, drawing the felt with it. I've used OR as field hats for years. Don't run over...

    Akubra Overload

    Yep, it is. I have both Glen Grey & Moonstone Campdrafts plus a Moonstone Fed4. I also have a Stetson Pinnacle in Caribou & a modern HatCo Stetson Stratoliner in Caribou. The Moonstone is lighter than the Glen Grey & also has more earthier tones to it. Seems more versatile than Caribou to me.
