    Adding a puggaree to Akubra Kokoda

    Thanks Wolfwood I can see now that the pug on your Kokoda is the same as the one I put onto my Riverina. Except for the one exposed vent on your hat and the squeezed pinch on mine the hats look about the same. I like the look. For the warm season here I'd probably try to fit a MikeK hand...

    Adding a puggaree to Akubra Kokoda

    I'd like to keep the vents open if possible This version of the Akubra sounds interesting. If you used one of the off-the-peg mil-spec looking pugs, which I have on my Riverina, you can't do much in the way of reducing the width. The hand tied pug that MikeK cooked up for us could probably be...

    "if I knew then what I know now"

    Interesting Mr. Finch At 63 now, probably many years your senior, I was of age to be dragged kicking and screaming into Mr. Johnson's war. Nowadays all that just seems like another place I worked long ago. No big deal at all. Of the people I'm around everyday I doubt 1 person in 5 have any idea...

    Adding a puggaree to Akubra Kokoda

    Nice. Brings to mind the MikeK-ized Riverinas. As time passed I began to think that the Riverina was a bit hot for the warmer months. I like the idea of the vent grommets in your Kokoda. Does this model have a liner? Somewhere in this forum there is a piece by Mojave Jack where he modified a...

    Boater faction!

    Thanks for the link Mr. Big_e I see the hat for sale but I was actually wondering where you ordered the puggaree. Vintage Shirt has some interesting offerings.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Boodles, "the gin of choice at Ian..." Most excellent. I feel even better about having pirated the name to use on this forum. I enjoy Boodles as well. My favorite way to empty the bottle is via martinis, just Boodles and a (very little) bit of Lillet. Unfortunately, my state owned liquor stores...

    Boater faction!

    Dinerman - sorry to take you back years but Sir, With my dunce cap on, I ask how it is that hat 4, which is not a flat top nor a flat brim, meets the test for a boater? Is it the material or the weave? I have a hat much like #4 but it has a removable puggaree. This hat is shaped a bit like the...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    For my Vesper I have settled on 2 gin 1 vodka 1/4 Lillet Blanc. For the gin I often use Boodles, or Tanqueray, Bombay, even Plymouth. I stick with brands with a bit higher octane rating. Apparently the gin used in Mr. Flemming's stories would have been 90 proof or more in those days. The...

    Ditto for me I don't have anything suitable which I'm willing to trade. Your 100 looks a bit like both my OR and Stratoliner but I expect much better quality.

    I also like the matching tie and riband Mr. Huang, Could you tell us a bit more about the riband and how you made it (if you did as I suspect)? From your post of some time ago I saw how you made a riband with grograin so I suppose this one is somewhat similar, except the fabric has no bound...

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

    I agree with ScottF. I cannot imagine how the guy could see one tag under the sweat and not another. This seller does not deserve his 100% rating and he apparently does not care much about protecting that rating.

    The very best image of yourself

    Chain gang supervisor, in that get-up? Excuse me, Mr Finch, for buttin' in here...but..Mr. Warbaby sir, the get-up Mr. Finch is wearing is not at all suitable for a overseer of a road gang, in this neck-o-the-wood, even if there were such a thing as a road gang any more. The hat is an OR and...

    The very best image of yourself

    That photo must be about good as it gets Barrister, I cannot imagine it better, down east cotton field, cattleman crease, jacket, tie, barn in the background, farmhouse with outback kitchen and side by side chimneys and most important of all, side by side shotty gun. Although I cannot detect...
