    Johnny Depp, Fedora Ambassador

    You trying to stir things up, BT? Depp an ambassador for America? He ain't my ambassador, as a matter of fact I find it really hard to pick an american celebrity that I would endorse for "American Ambassador". Most of the actors these days are vehemently anti-american to the point of...

    Best "hat movie" ever?

    I know the movie sucked but... There were a coupla nice lids in "League of Extrordinary Gentlemen". Any of the Tom Selleck or Sam Elliott, Louis L'Amour westerns, for those Cowboy Hat fans out there.

    Adding a rope?

    I was under the understanding from reading about the sweatband... at the David Morgan site, that DM has the hats made to a certain spec. That there is a space at the temples between the sweatband and the hat brim. This space allows for the wearer to thread a chinstrap through to a hook inside...

    Vision of the future?

    Some segment of society will start wearing it, and it will become the rage. They will probably wear it backasswards or sideways adding to its general appeal. Look forward to seeing it displayed on the heads of supermodels and actors next. Then you will see it on Mall Rats and Banana Republic...

    Sweat Band Won't Lay Flat. Remedy?

    Can someone help me spend my b'day money?

    Unless Peters Bros. has raised their prices... The last time I talked with them a custom bulletproof fedora was $180. And I think that is a little too much. I have a Peters Bros. and it's very stiff. Really stiff. They give new meaning to the word stiff. It's a well made product, but it...

    Adding a rope?

    I know that most or all the Akubras that come from David Morgan have the sweatbands unattached at the temples for the above mentioned chin strap. Are the hats that come directly from Australia outfitted with the same type sweatband? I am thinking of getting a hat from Hats direct or another...

    Coker of Fort Worth???

    Open Road? Looks like that may even be a Stetson coat of arms above the name. Maybe a Stetson used as a signature brand.
