    Post New Hats Here!

    I find it hard to believe that either bolthead or Garrett is done yet! I hope to see you continue as the Terrible Twosome of Tiny (ok...smaller) Toppers (TTofTT)! ;) :) Bob, Your OR looks fine either way. I agree with Mr. Paladin, brim up is the true western way to go. Nice color BTW.

    Stetson Pinnacle

    I have some experience with this hat. The Pinnacle is not, as noted above, a bad hat. It is 100% beaver felt in a production hat. It is also readily available. But, it does not approach the number of steps used or the finish of a Custom Hat. IMHO, the Pinnacle is a pretty good $100-150 hat...

    What is it about the Campdraft?

    Kabuto, I don't know if your comment is tongue-in-cheek or not. However, I find no problem with either the price or durability of the Campdraft. I find it to be affordable rather than cheap and durable rather than disposable. Not too shabby for an accessory that many men may wear daily. I...

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

    Nutria Felt designations. Just for clarification: Real Nutria Quality means the felt may contain a % of nutria fur. This is probably not 100% nutria felt. In some cases a manufacturer uses the phrase to refer only to the hat's finish. In which case, there may be no nutria fur in the felt...

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

    If the seller has their interior measurements correct (8" long, 7" wide) the interior circumference should be about 23.61". That's enough to have stretched to my size. Also, I have another Shudde Bros. Resistol currently being restored. This should be a great hat. BTW, Another member, Baron...

    OPINION: Did Hats Direct Cheapen the Fed?

    Lone Felter I'm glad you got a chuckle. The Lone Felter was a bit :offtopic: . He probably needs his own thread. Short hares may not entirely explain the conspiracy theory.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    NOT in favor of pollution but.... There's a largeish trench between the west coast and wherever that stuff comes from. Maybe it could use some landfill. BTW, Cuba has been "making do" with vintage American-made vehicles for decades. Is thera lesson to be learned here?
