    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    My new phone auto loads the photos to my photobucket account now. All I do is click on view library, move them to the right folder, hover over photo, click on get media links & get the IMG one...this is with the new beta interface. I think the old one was easier...

    Boot recommendations wanted

    I mainly wear Ariats. I have Justins, Tony Lamas, Rios of Mercedes, & Luccheses...I had a pair of Fryes years ago & they were some nice boots. I don't consider what I have seen lately from Frye in the same category. I will only buy the USA made Justins. All of the Ariats I have & really like...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Looks like a hand-creased cattleman to me Robert. Factory cattleman creases tend to have the more rigid lines = almost too precise IMHO....

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    In original Open Road configuration, this hat isn't worth the final bid price. Taken as a felt blank & reworked to WAR & wider brim binding plus re-block, it still isn't worth that except for the fact that bidders were willing to take it there. If this was a pristine version of a true WAR Open...

    The Conversion Corral

    That is exactly how my Stagecoach started out in the late 1970s, except open crown. It quickly got brim trim & ribbon rework. Here is how it looks now...

    Crushable or not?

    Fur felt crushables suffer something for the "crushability". If you don't need one for travel to pack for plane flights, etc. don't get one. Get a good grade fur felt hat like an Akubra Imperial grade. I had a Christy's Foldable = worst hat purchase I ever made. I've held & checked out an...

    Hat Resolutions, 2013

    First suggestion, give vague statements = I'll only get my Holy Grail hat if I can ever find one...never let her know another hat waits to be next on the list... Second, get some gun or knife mags so hats seem tamer...

    Fedora Lounge Edition {Everything Australian } Akubra Camp Draft 2 5/8s brim

    That is wrong. Open crown is 5 1/2 just like we wished the new Strat had been. You know I would never be praising a low crowned lid. Plus, Rusty has a black one & he is more agin low profile lids than me. This is like a Heritage grade but with a narrower brim we're getting with these...

    I don't see anything improper with saying "this fedora's brim"....or "that fedora's liner"....looks like proper grammar to me. But you did misspell "grammar" in your question =

    Brick and Mortar Hat Store in the Philly - South NJ Area

    Bummed to hear about Oscar & South Street. He did a nice job on a Strat & a Resistol Wanderer I sent for cleaning & re-blocking. Great guy to talk with even on the phone. Sad to see another shop shuttered....

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Not to be disagreeable with anybody's wife.....your hat is not too tall based on the photo & your facial shape. There is symmetry between the crown above the brim line & your jaw line below. Any shorter crowned hat would be off balance. The pinch works with your nose & chin as well.Mike &...
