Well, maybe it does. I'm not going to take it a part to look though. It feels like my other Akubra's and when you bend it a little bit it doesn't stay bent. It feels like the little clear plastic fishing lines that are in most new replacement sweatbands. I guess I could be wrong, but like Jared... -
Auction Prices for Fedoras of Famous People
Originally they were made by Resistol for LBJ to give as gifts. Possibly at some point after his death, when the ranch was open to the public for tours, they may have sold some at the ranch gift shop. I don't know anything definite about that though. I just know that after he left the presidency... -
movie hats that inspired you...
Bobby Canavale's character "Rosetti" was wearing a beautiful thin ribbon silverbelly hat last Sunday night on Boardwalk Empire. I'd love to take a closer look at that hat. In previous episodes he has mostly been wearing Homburgs but this is a wide brim hat and looked great on him. -
Akubra Overload
I'm about the same size and a size 59 in the Campdraft should work perfect for you. However, I ordered a Fed IV the other day in size 59 from HatsDirect and before they sent it to me one of the girls that works there emailed me and said the Fed IV runs a little smaller and recommended I get a... -

LBJ Hat Here are some pictures of another LBJ hat. This one is a size 7 1/8. I asked my relative who was one of his Secret Service agents about LBJ's size and he couldn't remember but said he had a big noggin. He thought LBJ probably wore a 7 3/8 or bigger. He did say he had a tendancy to wear... -

They do have one or two models made of beaver but the majority are rabbit fur. -
Auction Prices for Fedoras of Famous People
I have seen at least 3 of those hats in different sizes that sold on eBay in the past 2 years. The most any of them went for was around $600 and it had documentation that it was bought from the LBJ Library in Austin. So I think $2,500 is very wishful thinking but there may be more to the story... -

I just took a closer look at my new Fed IV and it doesn't appear to have a wire reed. The reed looks just the same as my Campdraft. -
Fedora Lounge Edition {Everything Australian } Akubra Camp Draft 2 5/8s brim
Tom, I just noticed this. I meant a standard brim length. Yes, it is a Heritage grade felt. Very nice hat. Robert, Texas Hatters did a nice job on your Campdraft. -

7 1/4 is marked on the box. I have some pictures of another hat just like it in a 7 1/8. The liner has an outline of Texas and states "Johnson City - LBJ Ranch". I have an older relative who was one of his Secret Service Agents and he told me LBJ had a room at the ranch full of those hats in... -

LBJ did wear a bigger size and I think 7 3/8 is correct. The box on that one is marked 7 1/4. That is probably one of the hundreds of Resistol hats he gave away. He continued giving them as gifts even after he was President and was living at his ranch. I've seen one of those before and that... -
Akubra Overload
You can't beat an Akubra for when it rains. Mine even seem to get better after being in a few rains. Like Tom said, the Campdraft's and Fed IV's don't have any taper but the Stylemasters do. -

Which Presidents Wore Hats>?
This is pretty cool. It is a picture of a cowboy hat made for George W. Bush. Imagine if that was a custom hat in the style of something like a vintage Stetson Stratoliner or Whippet. http://americancowboy.com/sites/default/files/greeleyhatworks_georgewbush.jpg -
Which Presidents Wore Hats>?
I think it could definitely rekindle hat wearing. I believe hat wearing is already starting to rekindle slowly. I see a lot of commercials these days with younger people in them wearing a hat. They are usually cheap stingy brim hats though. I think a US President like you described wearing a... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Rabbit, the 3rd picture where the box is on concrete was taken outdoors in the shade. It was a very bright day though. I'll see if I can get some better outdoor pictures for you. This color is incredibly hard to photograph. Like I said in an earlier post I thought it was black looking at it in...
