Akubra Overload
Neat thing about the pug, its actually many individual peices cut from a Buff that were then rolled up and slipped onto the hat. The Buff material is seamless and stretchy and soaks up sweat so its perfect for making into a pug looking band. Also, that particiular Buff is infused with bug... -
Akubra Overload
Pardon the picture quality but I took these on my phone for expedience. These first three are my Pro30X reshaped. I was going to put the whole brim down but I always liked those cowboy hats with the slight upturn. The last photo below is my Burke and Wills reshaped that I wear very often when I... -
Akubra Overload
Neophyte, I got the Pro30x just a while ago. The felt is very nice and I think the hat would take very well to conversion. I already reshaped it with more of a teardrop fedora top and turned most of the brim down. Great hat though, very smooth and worth the money I think. I can post photos if... -
Hawaiian shirts and fedoras
Optimo and Hawaiian Festivity for my daughter's 8th grade graduation ceremony. I find that once the temperature hits 65, I switch to my whiter hats and Hawaiians shirts till it gets cold again. I use to not like the whiter hats when I was younger but now I love them through the summer. I would... -
Hawaiian shirts and fedoras
Here's another image of the hat. It was a really nice Optimo that I wore traveling that got pretty deformed after some intense rains and some tomfoolery gone wrong. So I reshaped it quickly on the trip and it's been like that since. I keep meaning to send it back to Optimo to get fixed up but... -

1906 San Francisco Video
I found this video posted on Boing Boing and was just mesmerized watching 1906 roll by. I'm posting it here because so often we see old photos of men and their hats, but here we see them in motion. I hope you guys enjoy. http://www.boingboing.net/2011/03/01/san-francisco-before.html -
Photos of Navy Pilots Overseas Site
I don't know if this site has been listed here before but I couldn't find anything so I figured I would link it. For all I know the guy running it is a member here lol. But I really like this site and all the regular updates of photos from the 30's to 50's have been invaluable, especially if...- Lando

Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?
Figured I'd put my other two Adventurebilts up for anyone who was looking for example. This is the All Beaver Dark Grey I've already put up. Rabbit Fedora in brown with mink ribbon A lighter gray Rabbit Fedora. The Rabbit fedoras are very nice and tough hats. The Beaver is tough... -

Soft leather A-2
I know Gibson and Barnes are willing to alter things quite a bit. Their flight satin lining is pretty nice and heavier, though I have never couple it with their goatskin to date. Their goatskin is very nice, though I prefer their russet vegetable tanned goat over the other colors which are...- Lando

Reactions when you first start wearing brimmed hats.
I started wearing a cowboy hat when I was in college. It's been more than 12 years of constant hat wearing now and some of my friends actually say they remember me wearing hats years before I started. It's become so ingrained in how I look to them that they just don't remember a time when I... -
Adventurebilt hats - anyone ordered from?
I wear mine all the time. It's one of the few I end up wearing a lot, probably because it's so near the front door when I head out. It's a tough light hat and I love that dark gray. Maybe not quite a traditional Indy hat of any kind lol but I enjoy my Adventurebilt and would buy another if I... -
G&B wait times
Just figured I'd add, called for an order with G&B toady and early May is the closest ship time. The salesmen I spoke to said that they're getting more slammed than they ever get. So, sucks for the wait times but it's good to see a company I like doing well in this climate.- Lando

G&B wait times
Last time I spoke to the one salesmen I just about always speak to, about a possible order, he was saying that now was the time of year they get all their big airline orders, which slows everything down to a crawl. They had a few basic modern A-2s in stock but everything else had to go be built...- Lando

Quest for the Baron's Kolchak hat....
It sucks. I'm not going to get into any kind of Bash Barons mode though. Ive banged their hats around a bit and the quality is descent. Nothing out of this world but good everyday quality. It is sad that this customer service nightmare still goes on with them. I'm not up on the woven hats, but... -

Civil War Museum, Jefferson Davis Hat
No. It was more like this, but in a rich shade of brown with a much sharper roll on the brim: -
Civil War Museum, Jefferson Davis Hat
I will start by saying I wish I had pictures but sadly I was not allowed. I was in New Orleans recently and I made a stop at the Civil War Museum there, which incidentally is right across from the D-Day museum. The Civil War museum is an old building with mostly confederate weapons and uniforms... -

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
These two hats came in about a week or so apart and they're both absolutely fantastic hats. What's great about Mr. Fawcett to me is not that he's good, but that he's consistently good. I have never seen a bad hat by this man and I don't believe I ever will. Black Cherry Fedora with matching... -
Hats with Personality
It was a place where they made umbrellas and then painted them by hand. I took a tour and at one point asked if they could paint on my hat? I have no idea what kind of paint it was, but the old man who did the job did great work and its been there since, through multiple rainstorms, elephants...
