    Western, anyone?

    Thanks for the suggestions on stiffening products. I ended up getting a bottle of Kahl Hat Stiffener. And it works great! Also got a reply from the folks at Rand, in response to asking them what they suggested, and they recommended the same product. I gave the hat 3 applications with proper...

    My Rand 8x wide brim is starting to get a bit floppy. What's a good way to stiffen up the brim? Does hat stiffener work? or spray shellac? am open to ideas. I don't want it cardboard stiff like a western store hat though .

    Hats in restaurants

    It's amazing that a thread about hats in restaurants could go on for 12 years. LOL

    I find the current day 6X and up Stetsons to be good hats. Fortunately the factory outlet store is in my area so I try to stop in at least a couple of times a year. I don't always leave with a hat but when I do it's a good find!

    I have one ongoing gripe about auction site hat sellers...and that's when they put a tape measure across the hat's length and width to indicate size. argh!

    we finally got a break from the summer heat...a cold front moved in last night and it's 80 outside today. the downside to the good weather news is that the humidity is 77% right now. I may be pushing the edge of the envelope but may chance it and break out some felt today! Fall can't get...

    The Four Points Silverbelly 20X Rand... Made a quick run to the local big box DIY store yesterday for some gardening supplies and, since the weather was tolerable for a change, thought I'd leave the baseball cap at home and wear this. In the garden center I heard a woman yell out "I LOVE...

    Considering a Stetson Open Road, what pairs well with it?

    One of the best things about an Open Road is that it goes well with any attire.

    Akubra Territory - any thoughts on it?

    I have a Territory and a Snowy River and use to have a Cattleman. When I work outside during appropriate felt hat weather I always wear the Territory. I added a kangaroo leather stampede strap to mine and use it regularly. I sold the Cattleman since it was too narrow brimmed for me. If I...

    I tried grits once. And considering I was born and raised in W Tex and we never once had grits on our table, it now seems strange that the place I tried them was in a mom and pop diner. The scene in My Cousin Vinny where Joe Pesci (VInny) is served grits in the home town diner always cracks...

    Dyeing a Hat

    wow...this may be the oldestthread I've ever come across on any forum... from 2007... but since I'm here I'll add that I once dyed a Beaver Brand 5x silverbelly felt hat with day old coffee. I removed the liner and ribbon hat band and soaked it it a big tupperware bucket of coffee. When it...

    Felt hats in the summer

    I wear my Territory much of the time when working outside. But right now the daytime high is hitting 102 so I've switched to my Sunbody 6" Gus until we get back to at least the 80's. The Sunbody is great sun protection with the wider brim, but it's heavier in weight than the Akubra.

    I've never been in a Cracker Barrel but that cuppa Jo sure looks tasty.

    Ever Been On The Radio?

    Yes. I spent almost 30 years in major market radio. Lots of concerts, musician and actor interviews, and never a dull moment. And I still make my living with a microphone.
