That’s an impressive pile! But your hats are indeed worth the wait. Glad to see you are staying busy! -
Akubra Overload
I had the same experience with ordering a fawn Campdraft. It was quoted as a three-month wait, which turned into four. But EA is at the mercy of Akubra's production schedule, so I understand they can only do so much. Once EA got it in their hands, the hat traveled quickly, and was only in... -
Carhartt sandstone traditional coat, arctic quilt lined, size L, USA
That's a great price, wish I could wear it. Anyone that's a size L is missing a great deal on a great coat!- Woodtroll

Well done! You should indeed be pleased - that’s a good-looking hat. And on the cheap too; my tightwad Scot ancestry approves! -
Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...
That's a good find, and a great price for sure! I think those are actually harness boots, rather than engineer boots, but I'm no boot snob and like both types. ;) And you're obviously happy with them, so congratulations! I would kill myself in leather soles, so I agree with adding the grips.- Woodtroll

Wesco Boot Thread.
Those are some really sharp boots. I know I'm in the minority, but I've always preferred the brown engineers over black, especially with brass or bronze buckles.- Woodtroll

Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...
Or you can buy the same boots here (note the identical pictures): https://www.rubymen.com/products/6b8c4089f309 for only $49 US as "Men's Low-Heel Knight Boots". For less than $50, everybody needs a pair of knight boots! :D I think I would pass on any of these low-dollar sites, but who knows...- Woodtroll

Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...
I believe that site came up in discussion a few months back, and someone pointed out that those pictures are copied from one of the big-money retailers (S&S, maybe?), and felt the website was some sort of scam. I may be mistaken, but think that is the same site. Buyer beware unless you can...- Woodtroll

Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...
My normal "church shoes" are a pair of White's packers I use only for dressier occasions. Like you say, unless you look closely, you can't tel the difference between them and dressier shoes.- Woodtroll

Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...
Perhaps I misunderstood how you are planning to wear them; I thought you meant they were going to be every-day work boots. I think they would be fine for more casual wear, so I hope you are able to find a pair that fit you and suit your taste. By the way, I occasionally wear my cleaned and...- Woodtroll

Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...
I would think that kind of work would involve a lot of climbing, walking on uneven ground, etc. Engineer boots were not originally designed to really walk in, and while I know that a lot of folks here say theirs are comfortable to walk in for extended periods, I don't think you're ever going to...- Woodtroll

Phoenix Hat Company
That's still a neat looking hat; I like the colors. And the phrase "overly aggressive pouncing" just makes me laugh for some reason - maybe it's the image of you jumping on the hat from a hidden corner like a Tigger and giving the hat what-for! :D I may be a grumpy older man but my mind, at... -
New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Welcome to the Lounge! I have the "7-3/4 curse" too, but I enjoy hanging out here and looking at all the nice vintage hats. It's a good way to learn what you like and don't like, and to turn these preferences into a nice custom hat or two (or three, or...). As much as I've always appreciated...- Woodtroll

That's got to be a big time saver and a big relief too. With the limited tinkering I've done with hats, this job was my most frustrating and definitely the least favorite. Happy sewing! -
Red Wing vs. Chippewa Engineer Boots
Many boot heels are made of stacked leather, but some have been, maybe still are, made of wood. And I assure you that many boot makers still use steel or iron clinch nails, not brass. The nails are designed to curl or clinch against a steel plate in the heel of the last, effectively bending the...- Woodtroll

Hat color selection
For what it's worth, I had the same concern about the "yellow" in the whiskey color. Almost every picture of whiskey-colored Winchester felt seemed to have some yellow in it, but the hat I received from Michael Gannon a while back is not yellow at all, just a nice mellow mid-brown. I was... -

Thank you very much, gentlemen, I appreciate your compliments. It doesn't look too bad at a distance! :p -
Show us your Guns!
I like the 1851s, too - they are a lot of fun to shoot. Grease the cylinder pin, used greased wads under the balls or smear grease over top after loaded, and shoot away! I'm glad I didn't have to fight a war with black powder guns, but I sure enjoy shooting them.- Woodtroll
