What was the last TV show you watched?
A rerun of Poirot in The Theft of the Royal Ruby. The sets and costumes were excellent and it takes place around Christmas. While it is not a Christmas special it does sort of put me in the Christmas spirit.- Kirk H.

NHD--Akubra Lawson
I agree too about not a clinker in the bunch.I have a Fed IV which i was able to shape nicely and also an Adventurer that I am still working on getting the crown taper out to more of a straight crown. Both are the Imperial felt quality. Kirk -

Ask a question, get an answer
Luckie, I am not sure where Belton is, but there is a hat shop in Charlotte called Alexanders on East Indepence. They do repairs and reblocking. Hope this helps. Regards Kirk H. -
The wool felt hat thread.
Yes, I found that out too. I even tried some stiffener. It was good practice though -
The wool felt hat thread.
Yeah, you had the Ford Fedora. I found the same thing when I got mine. I was expecting a sorta Indy look but got an Outback look. I still have my C Crown and for some sentimental reasons I think I always will. On a side note I decided to practice brim trimming on the Ford and found that there is... -
The wool felt hat thread.
Are you sure you did not get the Jazon Ford Fedora. That one has a larger brim and looks like an Austrailian Outback. The C-crown is a good inexpensive starter hat. I have had both the Jaxon C-crown and the Ford Fedora. Also as others have stated, they ate wool and will not take a lot of weather... -

I agree with you. It is hard to tell with all the rust, but that "birdshead grip" does remind me of the Webleys. Maybe a Number 2 Bulldog pattern. They had a short 2-3" barrel designed as pocket cary weapons. They were chambered in .320, .380, .450,.455, and .476. Kirk H.- Kirk H.

Full Hat Collection Photographs Thread
DJH, those are nice too. I really like that Bluegrass Whippet. I am now in the stage of my hat wearing where I am only getting the fur felts. I still have a bunch of the wool felts that I am giving out to others that are just getting started in hat wearing. So far I have two Akubras and a... -

That one is great too. That repro is fantastic. Is it just AM/FM, or is there a CD or Cassette player built in as well? Kirk -

Question: Rustic Fedoras
Barney was well kown in upstate SC and had just start to gain some national attention thanks to the History Channels program "Dixie". The ironic thing was that Barney was born in California and then ended up in SC. but yes that is a rustic looking hat. sorry did not mean to go off topic. -
