    Post New Hats Here!

    Thanks, Bolt. I saw you the other day in a wider brim than I usually see you wearing, and I thought it looked real fine on you. Maybe you just aren't used to seeing yourself in a wider brim hat?

    Post New Hats Here!

    Lucky! I've ordered from them twice too and mine took a week and a half to two weeks both times. :D Thank you, Alan and Ken. This is my first wind trolley but not my first tall, straight crown. This is the widest brim I have but I like it. jpbales, if you wear that hat you will get used to...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Thanks, Russ, CJ and IC. This one took 13 days to get here from Hatsdirect. Some have said they got theirs in less than a week.

    The Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon

    Here are my submissions for membership in the brotherhood. Neither is an OR, well one kind of is, but I hope they're adequate to get me in the door. This one is my Johnnyphi Adam Royal, a thin, unlined hat that is the only felt I wore during the summer months. This one is my...

    Post New Hats Here!

    This hat arrived today from Australia. It's my new silverbelly Campdraft. I like it already even though it's stiff as a board. I asked Ron at Hatsdirect to style it for me to a teardrop. Diamonds are easy to do, but I seem to have a hard time getting a teardrop to look the way I want it to. I...

    Showoff! Why hats / fedora make the difference

    I'll admit, I've been a bit hesitant to post a hatless picture, but here I am, bare headed. and with my newest hat that arrived today from Australia, my new Campdraft. I'm not as clever as Gene or Torpedo, but I like looking at my head in a hat better than without.

    Showoff! Why hats / fedora make the difference

    I agree, Slim. Looks like you and that bowler were made for each other.

    New Akubra color "brown olive"...

    You'll like it even more when you get it. I want another one in moonstone gray. That one makes a real nice looking fedora too. ;)

    Fedora without a suit advice

    I wear my hats with whatever I want, sometimes with carpenter jean shorts and a t-shirt, sometimes with dress pants and a shirt and tie, sometimes with a suit (though not very often as I usually only wear suits to weddings and funerals and I don't necessarily enjoy either). The bottom line is...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Did you order silverbelly too, CJ? We can all break 'em in together then. :)

    New Akubra color "brown olive"...

    Here ya go, sir. I don't know the answer to your question about the stiffener, and I have never tried to bash this hat any other way. I do know that I asked Hatsdirect about a C crown and the answer I received was that they were not happy with the results, and I didn't pursue it with...

    New Akubra color "brown olive"...

    Here you are, sir. I posted this one just the other day in the what hat are you wearing thread. Mine is bashed with a center crease, but it is not pinched as tight as some of the other guys wear theirs. I asked Ron at Hatsdirect if he would crease one with a C crown and he did try but...

    New Akubra color "brown olive"...

    It's ok if you tell Dee it's my fault. I have broad shoulders. But we both know the truth, don't we? :D Carter, I have a Fed Deluxe IV in heritage fawn and it is a very nice hat. I want another one in moonstone, and now they're talking about a Campdraft in a brown olive color. I don't own any...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I know it will be a very sharp hat. When I talked to Mike on the phone I could hear in his voice how passionate he is about his hats and how much he enjoys them. But I don't want to rush the artist. It's his hat that he's making for me to wear. I'd rather wait for him to finish it in his time...

    Anybody got a bead on one of these...?

    That one is a very sharp looking straw. I'd like to know about that one too.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I don't want to bug the Major. I want him to take his time and do a real fine job on that black hat and the silverbelly too. I know he will. Did you order a Campdraft? :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap You and Nigel and me can break 'em in together! ;)
