Who makes the best Safari Pants? I posted a couple links so please add yours : )
I have used Tag Safari clothing a great deal and have always found them to be very well made and rugged. Also, the people who own the small family business are great people. Their clothing is as well or better made as the much more expensive Orvis. To me the mark of quality is in the people...- warbird

Jimi Hendrix hussar jacket
Gotta say that is pretty cool. I remember seeing pics of him in that jacket. Was his jacket bespoke as well or was it an item that was sold already made at the time?- warbird

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I actually bought 2 hats on ebay this week. I almost never buy hats on there, but they were in my size and I need a couple more in my size as my collection of wearable hats has shrunk drastically. Paid a princely for for each -

Looks good Duck. A lot of snow for Ar-Kansas. :) -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Today it was the Moorelite. Forrest Green with a ribbon that looks slightly silver in the pic, but is slightly gold in color. 5" crown at the front. 4" at the back with a diamond crease. I like the slightly askew pinch. The brim is very thin and has little stiffener. There is a leather... -

Post New Hats Here!
Bernie, I am going to sell it. Dang it. I have just come to the conclusion that I am not going to keep hats hanging around in boxes that either don't fit or that I don't wear. I used to like to have them even if they weren't a good fit or whatever. But, I am trying to simplify things... -

New To Fedora's
Perhaps I am misunderstanding the point of your posts. I don't find personally the Fed IV to be so dissimilar to the III to say there are many like the IV, but not like the III. The fake dirt was perhaps in relation to another thread , not this one, as relates to some who buy these hats just... -

Sorry, my Fed is a Fed III. Typo. My III is a very old one. However I do seem to recall some people having a Fed different than mine, but still a Fed. I'm not talking about revamped squatters. That seems to be my recollection, but I might be wrong. The IV used an older block, one that... -

Post New Hats Here!
Not new, but I don't think I ever posted it. It's a Mr. Disney. It's somewhere between a size 7 and 7 1/8. Tag says it's a 7. The brim is quite wide for a fedora at nearly 3". This hat is incredibly soft and quite a nice color. Like some of my other hats it isn't really my style. I like... -

Show me your favorite jacket
This is my favorite jacket. It belonged to my great uncle who wore it as a fighter pilot in WWII and Korea, eschewing any jackets issued to him. I acquired it from him probably 25 years ago. I wore it nearly every cool day and took it with me on numerous adventures over the years until about...- warbird

Stetson Whippet for sale- Black; 2 Major Moore hats 7 1/4
Top. Same as above. Sell the wide ribbon gray hat or trade for a western style hat or an Akubra of a outback style. Even if it is an older hat. To sweeten the post I am going to throw in another hat to the mix on a nice hat trade. It is a Huckel hat, not of the old vintage hat, but only...- warbird

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I have one of those same hats. When you make the crease deep enough to bring the height down to something reasonable the hat resembles Crater Lake. Several gallons would likely accumulate. ;) I am thinking on having mine reblocked with at least an inch of crown taken out of it, then the brim... -

Is there really a big difference between Beaver and Fur used in low end hats? Akubra?
I would agree with the above posts, with the caveat that most of it pertains to dress weight hats. Western weight beaver hats are about as thick as western weight rabbit or beaver blend hats. Personally, if it was me I would either stick to western weight beaver or rabbit Akubras for safaris... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I think most of the people on the board who like old hats like them for the styles, the selection of colors and the more interesting ribbons used at the time. None of the major manufacturers have really gotten the retro styles down pat when they have brought a name back from the past. And for... -

The Fed III was simply the pre-cursor to the IV. Supposedly the IV was an improvement in small details and was supposed to be like the latest Indy movie hat. They consulted with Steve before production. The crown is a bit lower and if I recall the ribbon is darker. I know the ribbon on the... -

Oh my, yes. Beautiful hat. With that hat you can look like a westerner, a man of suited class or Johnny Depp. Take your pick. ;)
