    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Got mine for $41 a couple weeks ago, near mint (or as mint as you can get from the 40's).... but then I can only bid low and cross my fingers right now...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I almost picked up a giftbox with a bottle of Glenfiddich this weekend as they've started selling them locally. They're only $3 more than the actual bottle and have great little tasting glass... and I like collecting decent bar-ware to go with my spirits...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    This is the first day in a while that I wasn't wearing a hat. Unfortunately, my car broke down and I was forced to ride my motorcycle to work but rushed out without even a flat cap. It's an odd feeling...

    size 9 hat, no lie

    That reminds me of a hat worn by a guy who goes by The King, owner of a bar in either Nashville or Memphis or something. I saw him on Drinking Made Easy and thought how huge of a straw hat he wore...

    Akubra sizes: true to the numbers?

    Here's what I've learned over time. Christy's hats run smaller than their size, while Akubra hats in the same felt type as the Fed IV (Imperial Felt) run slightly larger than their size. You may have ordered a size 59 Christy's, but it might not measure that size, so you really need to measure...

    Best option for for protecting fedora from heavy rain & snow?

    I haven't seen anything resembling dark blue, but light blue-grey (moonstone) is possible. I don't think Akubra has any navy colored hats.

    Hats at Work - A Photo Thread

    Today was a good day for the Stetson Playboy, so this was posted in the WHAYWT thread. I can't show my work area because I'm a developer for a Health Insurance company, and there's rules about that, but I can show the outside of my office building:

    Best option for for protecting fedora from heavy rain & snow?

    Everyone has pretty much hit the nail on the head... but just another whack at it... Akubra hats are my go-to when it rains. While I have worn one of my vintage Stetson's or Dobbs' hats in rain, I'll still grab an Akubra Fed IV (I have two different colors) when the rain looks fairly...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    My son is in cub scouts now and I make sure that he's made up according to their class A uniform guidelines (which, yes, can include blue jeans instead of boy scout trousers, though I typically have him wear khakis as I think it looks better). He always wears his shirt, hat, neckerchief with...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Absolutely great fun there. SciFi is also my thing too, but with one foot in the future and one foot in the past (just like me), it was a very cool crossover. Plus, with an icon like Harrison Ford (though most of his stuff in recent years has been all out crap), a cool dude like Daniel Craig...

    Beaver Brand Hats, gone?

    Yeah, it's a definitely shame. I certainly hope that our custom hat makers have a much better time of things, but I imagine that since most of them mat hats as a "hobby", being something they love, they will continue to do so in whatever capacity they can. But I think while fedoras are...
