    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    David - looks good - lightweight felts are a joy on wet summer days. Andy - that Fed looks great. A Fed is on my long to obtain list. Perry - works well with the shirt. I'm cursing you guys - not only are you tempting me into more hat purchases, I've finally broken and ordered a couple of...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Thanks Steve - I'm pretty confident on the late 60's early 70's as I've another hat with the same label that is definitely of that period. These days they only produce wool ones, and the band and ribbon have been different for a number of years. CCorsair - yes I'd estimate 50's, but whenever it...

    Ebay: Worth & Worth Panama

    That's beautiful - a good job it's two sizes too small for my big noggin or my wife would be complaining about another hat turning up.

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Thanks - there are some really nice bowlers on the English ebay site, but not much in the larger sizes. If you're a UK 6 5/8 or better still a UK 6 3/4 you could build up an amazing collection for very little outlay.

    Your First Fedora

    My first Fedora was a black Christy's fur-felt one, purchased from a long vanished gentleman's outfitters in Canterbury, around 1990 ish. It shrunk a bit from getting soaked through when I wore it through a Welsh winter.

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    New arrival. Late 60's/early 70's Failsworth. Needs a brush and the brim reshaping slightly, but it's basically as new. Not stunning, but a solid enough bowler at a good price. Very similar in quality to the current Christy's standard fur felt bowler. Frayed ribbon adds a touch of interest...

    Joao - Looks good - you suit that style. Bowlerman - interesting brim work. Nice hat. Eric - looking forward to seeing post cleaning shots. I've yet to try full gas baths, but it's amazing what emptying a tin of lighter fuel over a hat can do. g.d. - Looking great.

    Always a shame to see an old company go under, but good to see the stock go to someone who'll use it well.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Andy - yes the more Fedora like styles are definitely more popular. TJ - thanks the Campdraft isn't far off three inches. I'm tempted by a squatter, but I'll probably wait and see how I get used to the Campdraft's width. Perry - definitely deserved a shot to itself :D ------------------...

    Epic hat destruction

    I've ironed true straws without a problem... Is it true straw or poly/paper?

    Manfred – great travel shots. Keep them coming. David – nice straw that Brent Black. AL – Thanks for sharing the trip. Andy - The Campdraft looks good. I wonder what proportion of their production have ended up with forum members? Perry – Looking good, but I think we deserved more of the tie :)...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Thanks folks. I'd be happier if the brim was 1/2 or even 1/4" narrower, but I think I'll get used to it.
