    Akubra Overload

    I live in Europe actually (though I am from the US originally)... same logic applies though. The math is tough on the Akubra I gotta say, a CD and shipping from Oz comes to about the same price as a Royal Deluxe OR or even the Premier Strat from one2miniranch, factoring in the favorable EUR /...

    Akubra Overload

    Thanks... and dang! I was hoping to be able to choose one, but that makes me want both. Does the Hattery ever have sales?

    Akubra Overload

    Can anyone compare Akubra‘s color Moonstone to Stetsons Caribou? I’ve been fiending for an OR type hat in gray and am leaning toward the Moonstone CD vs the modern OR or Premier Strat.. (especially for theprice). I can find a bunch of separate photos of each, but the lighting makes it impossible...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I actually just had a nice interaction over here in the middle of nowhere in rural Bavaria... largely invited (I think) by the Stetson OR I was wearing. I was going to the local tiny grocery store with my two girls in our even tinier little town on the edge of the Bavarian Forest, when I guy...

    The Other Open Roads.....

    Thanks man. I especially like that the tag doesn’t appear to have ever had a number.... now I’ll never be able to order another.

    Thanks... it’s not exactly from a sought after period, but it looks and feels quite nice. I expected it to be cowboy-stiff, but it’s actually softer than that. I don’t have a modern Royal Deluxe OR but I’ve tried a few on in stores. If memory serves, this feels that kind of soft.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Last time I flew over from the states I had two hats boxed together with the box then inside my suitcase with clothes and stuff around as de facto padding. That was in checked luggage. On the plane I wore a third hat during takeoff. Once things calmed down and leveled off, I put it in a cloth...

    The Resistol Roundup

    I’ve experienced quite a bit of variance already myself, though I haven’t been at this sooo long. This seems extreme though. It’s a shame, I love the specs of The Westerner and have been looking for one like it for a while....

    The Other Open Roads.....

    I think counts as an “other”. The felt is a pale gray... probably dove I guess. It super thin and light. I have honestly never experienced a felt like this. I’m not even sure how to go about creasing it, it’s puts up zero fight.

    The Resistol Roundup

    Possibly a stupid question but, I just got my first Resistol and it seems seriously smaller than the tagged size. I have a bunch of 7 1/8s and 7 1/4s and they all fit different but well.this thing is tagged as 7 1/8 L but is crazy tight. I’m not giving up on it and have it on the stretcher to...

    My “recent” purchases finally made it over the pond to me. Here’s one of them... nuthin’ fancy, but I was fiending for a black OR.

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    When I picked up my Premier Stratoliner in the states, I did a quick and dirty sorta cattleman on it. It was difficult because 1. I suck... and 2. It had a patented Moon diamond in it that was tough to work out. The below is the result... I constantly look at it hanging and think “crap, I gotta...
