Surprisingly good "hat movie"!
I was watching some old movies that I used to love as a kid, and one of them was from 1981; "Under the Rainbow" starring Chevy Chase, Carrie Fisher, Billy Barty, and Mako. Anybody here remember this film? It has been called many things, mosty crap... even by Fisher... but I think it's no worse...- Not-Bogart13

Question ???
I'd say it'll cost between $60 and $100, depending on who does it, and how "raw" the body is. If all it needs is a ribbon and shaping, that's one thing... but a sweatband, pouncing, liner; it all adds up. John's advice is best. Talk to Art, Optimo, JP... I've lost track of all the guys...- Not-Bogart13

Any straw Akubra experience ?
I've never owned a straw Akubra, but I noticed their felt hats have the same overly-round shape that you describe. Mine gradually conformed to the shape of my head. However, if the hat is very stiff or the front is painfully tight, you might need the next size up.- Not-Bogart13

Hat care tools??
Well, I've used tape for stubborn dust and lint, and a lint brush (the red velvety kind). But my first "brush" was and still is an unused, soft bristled paintbrush. NB- Not-Bogart13

Riverz Delta - will sell rather than return
I just received a Riverz Delta from Noggintops.com and I don't like how it looks on me. I was going to send it back, but it will cost me shipping in both directions. So if anybody here would like this hat, please speak up quickly. It's polyTech Straw (so, plastic that looks and feels like...- Not-Bogart13

New JPD Indy hat arrives - another pic added on pg 3
The hat really suits you well, Steve. If you get funny looks, it's just because those people don't know a thing about style!- Not-Bogart13

Light weight felt hats
Art, I just bumped into this thread. I can't say "put my on a list" for a predictable purchase, but you know I love light, soft hats. However, I can barely wear straw in the summer, never mind felt. If it's still an option when the weather gets cooler (and the wallet gets fatter), I'm...- Not-Bogart13

Khaki Akubra?
Don't go by those on-line swatches at all. They are terrible. I have the Campdraft in Taupe Fawn. I would describe it as a dark tan or very light brown. Very earthy, not bright in any way. I've found the color goes with quite a bit, and I wear khakis a lot. The Tawny Fawn of the Federation...- Not-Bogart13

Two more hats on auction, 7 3/8
The hat came with that bash. The felt is pretty soft by today's standards, but the block is in there pretty good. I'm not sure how much reshaping could be done at home with just steam and water. I don't see why it couldn't be reblocked to an open crown by a good hatter.- Not-Bogart13

That was going to be my comment as well. Oh, and the bit with the cigarette case at the end was a great "tip of the hat" to so many movies.- Not-Bogart13
