    Fur Felt- repair / restoration

    A quality fabric glue coupled with a small bit of grossgrain or simular material of simular felt color on the inside works. Did this to an O.R. with a thin spot at the peak. Very hardy. Just dont use a peice of patch material too big with much overlap because it will be stiff and not as flexible...

    9mm or 45cal

    Well said. "But if you have a Christian philosophy...." I believe God decides who dies and who lives, not I. I am trained to shoot for the fastest incapacitation. Whether I can accomplish this depends on many varying factors based on the situation dealt. The constitution of the shootie plays a...

    Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

    I'm thinking I may move up to the Great North West. California is too hot and dry too much of the year for good outerware.

    Akubra Campdraft 60

    Well lets get this thread moving. What felt is it? Imperial or Heritage? What is the height of the open crown on this one? They tend to vary. Actual brim width? This can vary also.

    Worth going to Aero leather in Scotland to get jacket made/otr?

    IMHO, go there, get fit and pay the extra for the perfect jacket first time out. I have Two Aero's and, in retrospect, if I had known, there are things I would have changed. I would have loved the opportunity to go to Aero. How many threads have we read in TFL written by guys who live off...

    Do you still have it? I'm intrigued but wondered, what is you chest and waist? I'm barrel chested so I'm not sure if it will be too snug.

    the cedar moth myth

    This is very interesting. So often we just accept something without getting the science behind it. I've always heard that eucalyptust repels moths. I have two big eucalyptus trees so I put fresh cuttings in my "hat" closet along with drops of eucalyptus oil. I always thought the moths were the...

    Fur felt and rain

    With the exception of my nice vintage ones, I wear mine in what ever comes my way and hang dry if soaked. My experience is that all fur will keep felting and the hat will shrink some and get some taper over time. I just tear em down and re block when they go too far. I recently was told about...
