    Formal Wear Primer

    I was in a wedding several years ago in which the men in the wedding party wore black tie. We all owned tuxedos, but the bride's mother insisted that we rent matching tuxedos. I thought that was silly. Not only was that an unnecessary expense I had to pay, but my tuxedo was a lot nicer than the...

    Hey, what about the feather?

    I don't have any feathers. But there are some hats with a small feather that look really good. So lately, I have been paying a lot of attention to feathers to try to get a feel for when they work and when they don't.

    Anyone ever put a wider ribbon on a Camp Draft?

    I really like the CD with a wide ribbon. Although the shape has always interested me, the ribbon seemed too narrow. But with the traditional wider ribbon - wow!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I love that bow tie. Finding good bowties can be tough. If you are interested, try bowties.com. They have a great selection, and what is better still, they offer most ties in four different shapes. DISCLAIMER: I have nothing to do with this company. I just like to wear their products.

    Berets, Anyone?

    In the 1970's, the Boy Scouts adopted a red beret. I was a Scout then and dutifully went to the Scout store and got my beret. But no one in my troop knew how to wear one. So the result is that we looked like a bunch of red mushrooms. I have never gotten beyond that experience. A beret is not in...

    Bit of an Akubra Crisis

    I want to thank everyone for the help. It looks to me like I have a hat that fits. It stays on when I bend over, but does not leave a red mark on my forehead. I really like the quality of this hat a lot. It is certainly beyond anything I have ever had before.

    Bit of an Akubra Crisis

    The mailman brought my new Banjo Paterson today. It looks great. But this is my first Akubra and I am not sure that it fits right. If it doesn't, I want to send it back. If its okay, its going bird hunting this weekend. The hatband holds it snuggly so that the top of the hat is just above the...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Thanks for the help with the tugboat question. As yet, I have never owned an open crown hat, so this whole bashing thing is new to me. But it sounds very interesting. I think I need my own Fed IV to tinker with.

    Favorite RAF Movies

    This is an easy question for me to answer. The Battle of Britain. Where else will you find such a collection of Spits, Hurricanes, and Messerschmidts? It would not be possible to remake that movie today.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    This is a truly magnificent collection. I like the ES pins on them. But I must ask a newbie question. What is it about the way these hats are bashed that make them tugboats? How does this differ from an Indy bash. Pretty dumb questions, I know but if I don't ask, I'll never know.

    Hat Band Question
