A Highwayman in the highlands
Beautiful pictures and a great jacket! Some of the best - and most beautiful - sea kayaking in the world is to be had in that area. Gordon Brown, one of THE best sea kayakers/instructors in the world, is based in Skye. http://www.skyakadventures.com/ Kayaking in Skye with Gordon (and his wife...- Gromulus

"and that's when I tried to hit him..."
:) I can also relate - but thank God for free weights, heavy bags, and firearms (range shooting). Much better therapy than meds or counseling! Worf = Indiana Jones???? OK, the guy has some serious issues going on. What the heck, it's Friday - almost time for the weekend. At the end of the...- Gromulus

G-1 Drop
No problem. If you lift than you will need a jacket that has sufficient shoulder and arm room and the G&B cut seems to allow for these as well as chest/lat girth.- Gromulus

G-1 Drop
47"/33" here but my height/weight (5'7"/208#) make it even tougher to find a good fit. Until my finances warrant a custom jacket I did find a used "historical" horsehide G&B A-2 on eBay sometime back in a size 44S. While the chest is a bit tight the shoulders, sleeve length, and waist are a...- Gromulus

Akubra sizes: true to the numbers?
Jen and Deb are no longer at The Hattery so it is possible the newer employees don't know the FED runs smaller. Although I usually wear a 60 in an Akubra (and I have sixteen Akubra felts), I wear a "small" 61 in a FED. If you contact them when you order they can try to select a larger or smaller... -
Best option for for protecting fedora from heavy rain & snow?
For a time Akubra manufactured and one of the distributors in OZ carried a navy blue Stylemaster. I picked up one on eBay last year and saw another there a couple of weeks back. I concur with Tom re. a Moonstone Fed IV (or Stylemaster), a more universal color IMO. -

Recruiting: Lounge members for special edition Moonstone Camp Draft
Oh well, thanks for trying. I would get the silverbelly but I already have two Camp Drafts in that color, one being the Heritage grade. (Perhaps if Akubra offered a "less tan/more silver" color in the 2 5/8" width I might reconsider) My collection of Akubras includes four Heritage/Deluxe models... -
Recruiting: Lounge members for special edition Moonstone Camp Draft
Good one, but it should also pay some homage to you Tom since you have been talking about this configuration at least as long as I have been frequenting the forum. -

What do you do for Living?
Thirty years in the chemical, and specifically coatings, industry. Currently a Technical Director overseeing R&D, product develpment, quality control, and environmental compliance for a coatings manufacturer. Almost as boring as it sounds!- Gromulus

What Are You Reading
Coincidentally, my sister-in-law was telling me about this book over the holiday weekend. As I noted above, I have just finished "Hell's Cartel: IG Farben and the Making of Hitler's War Machine" by Diarmuid Jeffreys. This book traces the rise of IG Farben, the German chemical conglomerate...- Gromulus

The Fedora Chronicles - Indiana Jones Hat Discrepancies
Setting the record straight: I NEVER insulted you on YouTube. My original comment was a reply to Wolfwood's regarding the Akubra Fed IV. As I mentioned before, I even applauded your video (the only comment you didn't delete). I have tried to remain civil regarding this issue bust must admit...
