    Temperature under a hat

    That’s kind of like what I did. Four different Akubra felt hats, two days, laser thermometer, and I wore each for 10 minutes. I’m not sure what else can really be done further. From my readings the temperature difference is so slight that you would have to always walk around with a thermometer...

    Temperature under a hat

    Ok, I seem to be the only one taking any kind of measurements. So at least for me, I have some data to go by. I’ve tested (un-scientifically) four Akubras. All Imperial grade felt. The same time of day, same outdoor temperature, my same bald head :), and different color felts. Sydney, Regency...

    Temperature under a hat

    Ok I had to change up a little because a standard thermometer did not register. I used a laser after wearing both hats outside for 10 minutes each. The outside temperature is 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Tawny Fawn Fed IV: Moonstoone Fed IV: Steven

    Temperature under a hat

    Thomas, the information I was speaking about was in reference to the material that makes our firefighting protective jackets and pants. This afternoon I will use my Fed IV’s and a thermometer to see what temperatures I come up with. Steven

    Temperature under a hat

    I would think that in order for measurements to be accurate all the hats would have to be exactly the same. The only difference being the color. At work we used different colors of firefighting PPE. I have paperwork somewhere showing that black, tan, and yellow absorbed or reflected the same...

    Indicators of a low quality hat:

    Great thread Brent! A lot of my hats fall into this category, but that’s alright with me. I knew what I was buying at the time because I held them in my hand. Most of my low quality hats have suited their purpose well. So all in all depending on the budget low quality hats can fill a spot in any...

    I need some HAT help!!!!

    If you are looking for felt hats I’d second the Akubra. I’m in South Carolina and I’m sure the weather can be pretty close to yours on most days. I have the Akubra Sydney and Stylemaster and both are great hats. Less expensive than the Mercury. The Sydney comes open crown so you can crease it...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I’m glad I didn’t have an issue with fees. What color did you order? I’m pleased with the Imperial grade and I’m sure the Deluxe is nicer so enjoy your new hat. Steven

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    That is a wonderful looking sweatband and hat. I have never seen such an intricate sweatband. Is that sweat common only to the El Persidente? Steven
