Thanks, Colby. The burgundy ribbon and binding on the silverbelly are definitely eye catchers, and that hat is so soft it's amazing. It's like wearing a cloud.
If I put on one of these hats, I feel dressed up in jeans and a sweatshirt.
lol lol lol :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
I bookmarked the Memephis Commercial Appeal so I can read Mike's story when it hits the paper. I hope somebody lets us all know when it comes out.
The black was the first to venture out of the house this morning. I said I wanted this one to be a special occasion hat, but now when I wear it the occasion is special. Thanks, Major, I love it. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
RBH, the brown has a wider brim than the others and wider than any other hat I have. I measured it at right at 3 inches. I like the way it looks on.
It was so nice of Mike to make me that hat. I offered to pay him for it because I thought it was so much above and beyond necessary for him to...
Word has it, port, that you've been pretty good this year.
Thanks to all of you for your kindness. Gene, RBH, Mr. P, NB, V-man, Bolt, and Jim, thank you.
I'm glad to see Major Moore get some attention here. He deserves it because he really is a stand up guy, and he is making us some very...
Let's see. It's about 06:20 now and I've been up since about 05:30, and so far today I've had all three of them on my head. I try to treat all the boys the same. lol I'm still going back and forth between my coffee cup and the mirror too.
JohnnyB, that hat will take and look good with whatever crease you decide on. It depends on the look you're after...a more fedora look or a more western look. It's your hat, and you'll be wearing it on your noggin. If it were me, I'd style it how I like it.
I bought a Resistol a while ago...
JohnnyB, my choice is if you like it, buy it. There's no reason you can't have a Bushman, a Campdraft and a Fed. Sometimes, these things are a matter of time and resources, but I doubt that Akubra is going to stop making Campdrafts or moonstone Feds soon.
I like my Campdraft and Fed so much...
Thank you, Duck. All of these are really examples of the Major's good taste. He had already made a black one like this. I just saw it and asked him to copy it for me with a brim binding and a full beaver blank. When we talked about the silverbelly I just told him I wanted a silverbelly hat. I...
There were two other hats in the box today, too. One was a vintage hat that I had some problems with. I had worn it out one day and gave it a good sweat and then it rained and the hat got a good soak and so did I. When the hat dried out, the sweatband curled up into a tube and got to be as...
Here at the Fedora Lounge we all enjoy hats: looking at hats, collecting hats, wearing hats, buying, selling and trading hats. Of course I like all of these, but one of the most enjoyable is showcasing the hats made by our hatmakers who are few and far between these days.
Today when I got...
I like the color, AG. I can only think of one other green Akubra that I've seen, and I like your green better. I would also like to see some daylight pictures of your new hat, and I'll be interesting in seeing how you decide to shape it. I wonder how it would look if you just put some dents in...
