I'm a little slow on the uptake here, it took me forever to get all the drool off my keyboard before I could post a reply in this thread. That is one DAMN FINE looking lid there, if I may say so! The colors are beautiful; I don't think I've seen a Whippet yet (during my rather short foray into...
my newest hat
Heres my new-to-me Dobbs. Snap brim, no idea how old it is; the sweat is NOT real leather, so it can't be THAT old. However, it's comfortable, the felt feels nice, and the wife likes it:) That always helps. Think I'm gonna switchout the braid for a 1.5" ribbon, though...
Bed inspection; no bouncing quarters here!
lol lol :rage: :rage: lol lol
Very Funny IndyCop!!! These days, it's just not worth it! My son gets me out of bed at 4:30-5 everyday, got to work, com home and he's been playing on it all afternoon with Mrs. AFIndy. Ah, yes, the days of...
First vintage hat post...
... so be gentle:) This is a 8X Stetson cowboy that I found in an antique shop for $5. It belonged to a (I assume) rancher named Allen Tysdale who had his name embossed on the sweatband, and had not been kept up over the years; it was a work hat. The liner had been...
Good to hear! I live in Rapid City, so I'll be making a trip or two down your way when you open! Congratulations and good luck!:eusa_clap

Cool!

I grew up AF, Dad was a Power Pro troop in CE. So, I knew I wanted to be CE whenever I joined; didn't matter what career, just had to be CE. Now I'm in the High Voltage shop at Ellsworth (28th...
Good luck...
... and happy hunting! Oh, there are far wiser heads than mine around this group, belonging to good folks who I'm sure will be more than happy to advise:) Have fun, and beware the wool felt!
Regards, Andy
I could be wrong, but I think you'll find more vintage afficionados here. That requires a pretty keen eye and quick mouse hand on eBay, or some good horse-trading on the side. New hats.... I can't really speak to that, as the only new one I have currently is a cheap Bailey's. Akubra...
Isn't the wifey sweet...
;) Mine is always doing the trade off with me: if I get something then she HAS to get something. If she gets something, however, it makes no difference whether I do or not![huh] Oh well!
Fantastic AB, Indycop!:eusa_clap I'm a little miffed that you got yours...
Akubra Federation
The Fed is based on Indiana Jones' hat. It was more or less developed thru a group effort by members of Club Obi Wan (many of whom are members here), Akubra, and Ron of HatsDirect as an affordable alternative to the 'original' Indy hat, the Herbert Johnson (now...
...mobilize and set up bare base in a remote location in under 72 hours:D No, unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to be on one of those teams, or a RED HORSE (Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operator... something-something, I hate all the acronyms in the military!:rage: ) unit. I...
:offtopic: Not yet, Indycop; they aren't mandatory 'til October 2011. They're expensive as hell, too, so I'm going to bide my time. Maybe I'll get deployed again and get them issued:D Besides, I like my greens. They're comfy, broken in, take the iron well, and I don't look like a strip of...
