Post New Hats Here!
Great hat FedoraDave! Really a classic shape. Is it navy blue? -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Dobbs "Guild Edge" 1 3/8" brim. I'm not sure what I'd call the color. Sort of an orangish brown. Light as a feather. -
Christy's Homburg - should I?
This italian company looks as though they make a nice homburg. They might be worth a try. http://www.cappelleriamelegari.com/it/catalogo/uomo.html -

Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=10272 A diamond bash is a center crease which has been modified with an additional crease width-wise, to make a cross or diamond shape dent in the top of the hat. This is mine: -
Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
What's more, you can get a Campdraft from Hats Direct for 61.00 pounds, shipping included. Heck, you can't buy lunch for less than that in London! -

Dobbs stingy Beautiful felt on this one, a pleasure to touch! -
Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
I have a Campdraft but I don't have a Stetson Open Road. I suspect the front-view taper on the stetson comes from a deep center dent and side dimples. A deep center crease will make the sides move in-ward as seen from the front, but will give reverse taper as seen from the side. The Campdraft... -
Campdraft/overcoat question
Tu as peut-être raison, mais les grands bords ont tellement de panache! I think I've got some sort of bi-polar hat disorder; I love the really stingy brims but I also think the stratoliner type hat is super cool. Heaven knows what people must think of me; 1 5/8" brim one day and 2 3/4" brim... -

Campdraft/overcoat question
I sent an email enquiry on Nov. 14th and got an answer the next day from Deb Leake. She said they had my size in stock (size 60) and would hold it until I ordered--which I did right away! It will take about ten days to get here, I think. I can't wait....! -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Back to my stingies Monday morning! After wearing my Campdraft for the last few days, I felt like going stingy to start the week. -
Thin Ribbon shots from movies
"Africa Screams" Spotted this good-looking hat last night: I wonder what color it was? -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Looks great on you! Is this the one that you had bashed by the store before being sent to you? The crown has a nice, straight-sided look. -
VS purple feather!
Beautiful! I, too, am a great fan of feathers in hat-bands, especially with the narrower brims. It adds just the right note of "discreet flamboyance" to what can be a very minimalist hat. This hat is perfect! -

Campdraft/overcoat question
Thank you all for the advice! I have indeed noticed pictures from Esquire in the 1930's of men matching black hats and brown overcoats or tan and mid-night blue. I just wasn't sure it would look well in real-life. I do think the jet black coat makes the taupe fawn look almost golden by... -
Campdraft/overcoat question
Thanks for the opinions! I've just ordered a silverbelly Campdraft from hats direct. I think it'll go much better with the coat. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks for the compliment! It's the tawny fawn color; I got it from hatdirect. I've just emailed them to find out if they've got a silverbelly in stock in my size. -
Campdraft/overcoat question
I've really taken a liking to my Campdraft and I think it looks great with a suit. But the weather is getting chilly, and I don't think it goes well with my winter coat. What do you think? Is the black coat too severe or formal for a thin-ribbon style hat? -
I hesitate to point out
It is indeed the Burma. It's probably my less-than-stellar photograpy skills that make the color seem different. Though, looking at the site, I'd say that in person the color is just a bit warmer, or browner than the color sample given. If the sweatbands were sewn in a bit more carefully, I'd...
