James & Mike,
Thanks for your input. I bought it off of Ebay. It was new with tags but I guess it could have been a defective shirt. I can still wear it but it is better worn tucked in. Which, in my opinion, defeats the purpose of a Hawaiian shirt! One size larger would have been perfect...
I bought a Hilo Hattie shirt online recently and really like it but it fits a little small. I bought the size I normally buy in other shirts. Do you guys find they fit a little small? I was wondering for my next shirt if I should order a size larger or this was just an anomaly.
Rusty,
If you look closely at the vent holes on G. Durand's two hats they are slightly different. The Akubra looks like it is missing a punch hole on the lower left. The spacing and curvature of the Akubra looks a little different too. I bet your assumption of Beaver Brand copying Akubra's...
Guys, all the new Feds look great!
I have a black Fed IV and love it but don't wear black hats much. I currently have a Moonstone Fed IV on it's way. I've always been a thin ribbon guy but since joining the Lounge I seem to have acquired a taste for wider ribbons.
I like paint brushes. I find the handle on a paint brush makes it easier for me to brush the brim around the base of the crown. In case you don't know, you want to brush the top side of the hat counter clockwise and the under side of the hat clockwise.
That sure looks like Akubra's Silverbelly in the photo but photos can be deceiving. Maybe take a shot of it outside. Like Richard mentioned, the Akubra Silverbelly is more of a very light tan than say a traditional Stetson Silverbelly which is a more light silver color. Personally, I like it...
Tom,
I'm interested in this hat but afraid it might be too big for me. When you order a custom hat what is your head measurement? Mine is 23 3/8". Thanks.
Nyah,
I really think the Fedora is more of what you are looking for than the Fed IV. I have one and I don't think the crown is 5 1/2". I have never measured it but it is definitely shorter than the Fed or Campdraft. The Fed is a dimensional brim too and would be more difficult to trim. The...
The Akubra Sydney from David Morgan is essentially the same hat as the Akubra Fedora from Hats Direct except it does not have a wind trolley. Here is a link to it.

Nyah,
You might want to take a look at Akubra's Fedora from Hats Direct. Here is a link.

The hat in your photo looks like it might be too tight for the gentleman wearing it. I have noticed that when I put on...
Story,
I have quite a few Hawaiian shirts and they can work great but I agree with you on the look. I don't like to wear them when I'm working. 511 Tactical makes a similar style shirt that is not so flashy. It is also a little heavier material and doesn't print as bad as a Hawaiian shirt. Here...
I prefer to carry a Colt Commander in an IWB holster if my clothing permits it. However, when I can't conceal the Commander properly I will carry the S&W in the boot holster. I find myself carrying it quite a bit during the summer months because I am only wearing a lightweight shirt. It is not...
