    The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}

    Cool. I’ve been stuck between it and a Campdraft. As much as I love the open crown I already have two Akubras and thought something a little different and low key would be nice.

    Cool idea with the ribbon, looks nice and tidy! That experience with the flange is unfortunate, probably to be expected from the mass production process I suppose but still.

    The Stratoliner Appreciation Club {MODERN}

    Curious how the basic Royal felt Strats are, thinking the silverbelly or the natural might make a good casual summer felt.

    As promised, late because of both work and a cold, pics of the new Navy Hemp Strat just in time for Florida summer!

    It's Spring. Show your Straw hats if you have 'em

    Very true, the heat I could deal with generally, but when it literally sticks to you, ugh! Arizona is gorgeous, we’re thinking of going to the campground beside the Grand Canyon this October if we can save the money. The best two climates for me though was Maine and Scotland! Cold and rainy I...

    It's Spring. Show your Straw hats if you have 'em

    I would happily trade, this hot weather is going to drive the Mrs and me out, it won’t stop! And the humidity is bound to strike any time and not let up till December.

    It's Spring. Show your Straw hats if you have 'em

    I know, I know, I don’t like it either….I miss my Fed 4s….but heat exhaustion is a drag! Besides, Florida was made for heathens!

    It's Spring. Show your Straw hats if you have 'em

    Considering it’s Central Florida outside it’s already straw season 2023 for many, if not all days…. At least in the afternoon. Anyhow, a hemp Stratoliner in navy-surprisingly a very versatile color- that I love so much I ordered a second in natural that I found for $50 off. I’ll get some better...

    Akubra Campdraft

    The answer’s probably obvious, but would the general recommendation around the Lounge be for the Campdraft over the (current) Stetson Stratoliner?

    Just received a new Hemp Stratoliner in Navy from DelMonico the other day and I must say I really enjoy it. A navy hat was a little worrying but it’s turned out to be a pretty versatile color. Really want to to try to find a fur felt version in Silverbelly now!

    Leather sweat band care?

    Cool, I’ll relax a little then! That’s what I thought but anxiety has a way of building on itself, even over little things.

    Leather sweat band care?

    Laughing, by the way! Thank you!

    Leather sweat band care?

    Oh gheez…. Fair enough!

    Leather sweat band care?

    So I suspect the answer is, as my wife said, “it’s fine”, but being the worry wort perfectionist obsessive that I am….one of my hats suffered a small surface scratch in the sweatband and I’m curious if it’s something I need to fret over or just wear it with no worries. I checked, it’s only a...

    Stetson Hemp Stratoliner

    Just purchased a Hemp Stratoliner in Natural and now waiting for it to ship. Can’t wait as it’s already in the 90’s here in Orlando. I tried the Milan once but it was so oversized it reached over my ears AFTER padding the sweatband, but Delmonico’s said that the hemp shouldn’t have that sizing...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Nothing like a good hat and the morning light to practice some still life photography.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Any advice as to stubborn liner removal? I’ve attempted to carefully pull the liner out of my brown Fed IV and it is mostly out, however there are two rather stubborn spots where Akubra seems to have done a rather good job with the glue and it’s stuck.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    My brown Fed 4 keeping me worthy of being seen next to the Mrs the other day!

    Akubra Campdraft

    Thanks for all the replies! Kind of confirmed what I was thinking. The bluegrass is an awesome color but the sand would probably work better as a foundational hat.

    Akubra Campdraft

    So, asking for honest opinions! I’ve been wanting a Campdraft for a while now and I decided to save up for one after my wife and I settle into a new place next month. Curious if you good folks would recommend a Bluegrass Green or a Sand color to fit in with a brown and moonstone Federation IV? I...
