HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.
All my hats have the same pin on them, well not the same actual pin but same type on each hat. I don't move the pin from one hat to another lol. My username will give you a hint ;) Anyways, the hat I was wearing yesterday I'm wearing again today and obviously it has it as well and a new custom...- Silver-Wolf

Only thing I'll add is pretty obvious but be careful, steam can burn skin easily if you get too close and keep it away from any leather, it was once skin too. Well maybe a couple of things lol. If using just a pot or billy (what we used on small camp fires) you can fashion a aluminium foil...- Silver-Wolf

Akubra Overload
Just a heads up FYI if Akubra lovers didn't have it already but the hard cover coffee table book "Akubra, handcrafted history" that normally sell's for $70-$100 can be bought from Akubra currently for only $20! Wife snagged free postage even for us, it weighs like 2-3kg, heavy as for a book...- Silver-Wolf

Well I just need something to go between the top and the base now, damn shame how much was eaten/ruined. Lovely timber, am doing it all the old fashioned way. Bee's wax with Tripoli powder for the cut 'n polish and just a natural shellac to seal 'n protect. Will then just polish with bee's wax...- Silver-Wolf

New or pre-loved? For a wool Aussie slouch hat New I think RRP is about $150 but you see them often on sale for around a $100-$130 AUD, 2nd hand you can pretty much always find both fur felt and wool so re-sale isn't high and you can buy them used from army surplus stores all over. I was just...- Silver-Wolf

No it's not made by Akubra, their model is fur felt. It's a Statesman Military model imported by MountCastle Hats. They are an old Australian hat company that also imports and exports hats. I believe those are made in Sri Lanka from Aussie wool. No idea how to date it I'm sorry, they are still...- Silver-Wolf

Well it's not going to be as large as I wanted but I have managed to save a bit and make a start, this is only a teaser of the base. I find it quite difficult as besides not being as young as I'd like I'm also disabled, hands are contracted closed and can't use my thumbs, try doing your shoe...- Silver-Wolf

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Just out in the yard doing chores, this lid is kinda new yet still old. It's not new, but it's never been worn much though I think that will change now. Wife had a go at doing a new ribbon for my Silverbelly Campdraft, look at this ribbon, her first attempt and I think she rocked it in. I love...- Silver-Wolf

Wow, I've not heard of Tab since the 70's lol. Not sure the Indy thing is a thing downunder, If it is or was I missed it lol. To be honest I didn't even hear of Indy until recently after joining this forum. But then I'm a boring old fart, good fun movies though. I like all Harrison's movies...- Silver-Wolf

Yeah, I knew what you meant lol. But just in the interest of discussion and how weird us Aussies can be lol. In Australia Coke or lemonade etc is called soft drink.... Not pop or soda, a Pop to us would be either your Grandfather, a lollie pop (as in a Chuppa Chup) or an Ice block as in a...- Silver-Wolf
