Akubra Overload
Good suggestion, Royce, thank you. Is this information posted somewhere (I'm interested in which specific ones are being discontinued), or did you find this out iin a conversation? Being a size 62, my hats usually have to be custom ordered anyway, so I'm probably out of luck already. Thanks for... -
Help, shoeheads... work boot tiers: Wesco/Viberg/White's
No, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. You asked a question about "work boots" (remember the title of your thread). I offered an answer based on my experience. You tell me the boots in question are not work boots after all, based on "handling a few". Then you tell me that I only wear the...- Woodtroll

Help, shoeheads... work boot tiers: Wesco/Viberg/White's
I assure you that the folks I know, including myself, buy White’s, Wescos, Nick’s, and Drew’s boots as work boots for their proven performance in the work we do. If you’re digging line, working in the woods, or in your boots occasionally for 24-36 hours at a time, “fashion” and “pretty” are very...- Woodtroll

Help, shoeheads... work boot tiers: Wesco/Viberg/White's
I have never owned Vibergs, but have owned several pairs of Wescos and multiple pairs of White's. To say that White's are not as well-built as Wesco boots would be completely wrong, in my opinion, but that would also depend on how you define "well-built" - tough and durable, or pretty? Both...- Woodtroll

Artwork Featuring Hats
Yes, it does. I had the impression that the first was a draft of some sort for the second, more colorful one, but that's only because comparing the two, to me the second seems much more detailed and "complete". But I claim to know nothing about art. I just know when I like it! -
Artwork Featuring Hats
Interesting art, Bob, thanks for posting. I find it particularly interesting that the first and sixth paintings are of the same model and pose, but with just slightly different facial expressions. It makes me wonder, why the subtle change? The answer is probably WAY over my head! :) -
Leather glu recommendation
Haversack is right - Barge Cement works very well for leather. I use it to repair leather goods, build holsters and knife sheaths, etc. I think it would be fine for the damage you have where the "pieces" are still there.- Woodtroll

M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Very nice hat, Brent, it looks great! As Bob already said, the smile says it all. Michael has made me two custom hats, and he had a hard time finding bodies big enough to do what I wanted. But he remembered me, kept his eyes open and finally found what he needed. It looks like he finally found... -
What was the last TV show you watched?
The wife and I watch Yellowstone, but I struggle with it sometimes because the land-grab storyline, with the big business, big money, and political wrangling hit way too close to home to be very enjoyable for me. A lot of folks in my part of the country are struggling to hold onto the family...- Woodtroll

Today in History
19 years ago today - the United States of America was attacked by foreign radicals because of our way of life. NEVER FORGET those who lost their lives, and those who carried out this act.- Woodtroll

Ask a question, get an answer
Well, thank you. I fear you misjudge me, but I do try to be kind (at times...). I agree with you about the "hassle" of this feature, and don't think it adds to the looks, which is why I take mine off. -
Ask a question, get an answer
I can't figure out from your photo exactly what happened to the wind trolley, but it looks like the loop end has pulled out from the "button" (I really don't know what else that piece is called). I assume that the long end of the cord is still attached to your hat, under the ribbon? So here's... -
Western, anyone?
Haha, Bob, when we were talking about burned hats, I completely forgot about your brush-pile-burning hats! I guess you've still got a lot of that in your future, with all the unfortunate tree damage you suffered not long ago. -

Western, anyone?
Yes, you get my point exactly and expressed it better than I did - distressing should "make sense" and "tell the story"; it should look like honest wear. There are lots of good worn-hat stories on here, but you can always tell that Yahoody's hats, for example, have earned their dust honestly... -
Western, anyone?
I'm puzzled by the random whipstitching on this and some of the other hats that have shown up here lately. I'm assuming that the purpose is to make it appear more rustic, but why would an honest hat wearer whipstitch an inch of the brim this way, even on a thoroughly worn hat? -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I've had the same experience multiple times with USPS lately. Priority Mail packages get hung up in one hub or another, sometimes for days or weeks. But they won't refund the Priority fee because, you know, it's not their fault. :rolleyes: Surprisingly I've never had this problem with regular... -
