Excellent Porkpies!
D.W., I think you nailed the Popeye Doyle block. Great looking porkpie!
bruce wayne, That "yancy" from Optimo is a beauty. I really like the backbow treatment.
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.
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...
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.

Riccardo, Just contact Ron Lilleburn at HatsDirect.com and let him know that you are interested in a Campdraft in Grey. He has indicated that they are trying to have one available in 2009. Several of us are on their waiting list. Please join us.
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...
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...
Adventurer & Bushman Pictures?
JohnnyB53, Please don't forget to post picturers of your Akubra Adventurer. I'd like to see one as the pictures on the DM website look very good. Also, did you get the Bushman? .
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.
Here's the TRUE STORY of How It Went Down.
We return you to scenes of yesteryear....
[We open on a scene in the Australian Outback hot, dry, dusty and still. A dust cloud approaches and suddenly...]
Emerging from the Outback in a cloud of dust, we see....

NICE Hats
There's really no bashing to be done. Wear them as they are. You may like the looks.
Regarding your wife, it's kinda like being surrounded.
Now you've got her right where you want her. ;) :)

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?
