    Replacing sweatband?

    If I were where you are I'd just tool up to the south side of Chicago ("♬...it's the baddest part of town" ♪) and go to Optimo, none better.

    Hand dyeing felt

    Wow! My only concern would be the possible acidity/alkalinity of the "brew" degrading and corroding the felt/leather. It looks GR8! You can "fix" the dye in a 4/1 water & vinegar bath, I have heard... or maybe I'm thinking of Soda Ash. What did the NDNs use?

    Post New Hats Here!

    I REALLY, really wanted to like this Orvis Muir woods Review written to Orvis, will they print it? [huh] Doubtful. ""But, sorry to report, it puts the 'meh' in mediocre. Not a bad hat, just not a $250 hat. For that coin you can get into bespoke/made to order headwear from a master...

    Anyone Have an ORVIS® Muir Woods ff Fedora? It's now on Sale

    Now way cheap ------> Akubra is likely the superior product, hands down. ...however that Muir is now on sale for eighty bucks, bringing the price point, at least, down to Akubra range. At $225 they were an idiotic buy but at eighty, I may well be droppin' the hammer on one. Or you can wait and...

    Blackstone boots

    Just got these. From The Netherlands, a good lookin' boot and at a price point about like 1000 milers or Red Wings. I was hoping someone has a pair of Blackstones and could give their opinion of the brand. I could find nothing searching The Lounge. [huh] THANKS!
