Need some feedback on wearing fedoras
This advice isn't bad... It's pretty much how I started wearing hats (again - after many years). But I quickly found that the "starter hat wasn't going to cut it for me and quickly moved on to the hat(s) I really wanted to wear. I would encourage you to wear the hat you want. Fedoras aren't... -
Need some feedback on wearing fedoras
...up the confidence to wear whatever you want. You can get a fedora-type hat with a narrow ribbon, like a Stetson Stratoliner or Akubra Campdraft (or anything similar), which will go well with casual outfits. Maybe wear the button-up instead of the t-shirt, and people around you will... -
Akubra Overload
Likewise. I have 6 felt, one hemp and one polypropylene. The Campdraft costs almost twice what I paid for it three years ago. Still the best bang for the buck? I can’t see myself getting another unless I find some second hand bargains. -

Looks like a great time and we really should forget pictures when having fun. -

Another awesome dose of tripled goodness! As always, Eric, thank you for a stupendous offering. -

A rainy morning had me enjoying an Akubra Campdraft (bluegrass hued felt). Coffee and a stroll had me wearing an Adam. Pliant-Eze and Executive Quality sounds fancy. I ran a couple errands in a Stephan Stetson. Cheers, Eric -- Short Balding Guy

...staying with us on Sunday night. I took Monday off also to spend time with these great friends. On Sunday, I went for my Silverbelly Campdraft Apologies to Stefan for failing to get yakitori pictures. On Monday, we went to a restaurant at a fish market. I got one last wear from my Stetson... -

I have a Heritage Campdraft. The sweat is awesome. The felt - not so much. It makes me handsome for people who can't tell the difference. Lol -
Making a tight hat fit. The easy way!
That sounds like the sweatband on my Campdraft that crumpled when I tried to pull the wire. Here's a photo of a not yet even broke in Akubra Tablelands. You can see a little twinkle of a brass ferrule holding the ends of the steel wire together. The wire I pulled was the exact same stuff used... -
Hat making?? Learning Millinery..
I didn't realize Akubra used steel wires as the reed. I have never stripped down an Akubra. I have refurbished lots of vintage hats that had an actual organic reed used as the 'reed' . But most often it is the plastic filament. You can likely purchase some of this filament along with the...- belfastboy

...if you are between sizes. If you also want it for rain protection, then a fur model with a wind cord might be your best option. The Akubra Campdraft has a wind cord. Problem is, it also has a medium-sized brim which will catch in the wind; but again if you get one with a tight fit and use...- The Lost Cowboy

The Campdraft is the only model that I’m aware of that comes with a wind trolley. It won’t keep it on your head, just from blowing away. Some of their western styles may come with stampede strings but I’m unaware. They could be added. Pull it down snug. -

That’s a great hat, and to me, a great choice that meets all your criteria. I know the felt is a bit heavy, but it should hold up well to the rigors of your trip. I always hate trying to decide which one (or if I have room, two) hats to take for trips. -
Hat making?? Learning Millinery..
I'm following you around @belfastboy, you and @tjones. I'm pulling steel wires, Akubra spring steel wires. My Campdraft sweat could not survive the pulling of the wire. Play taps. I'm stripping it down -

Thanks, Voo. Thanks, Stefan. The chicken, and especially the sauce got the stamp of approval from Etsuko. She told me I can make this dish again.
