    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Gary, What is the rest of the information beneath the sweatband? I can make out D312198(?), DEC 24, and 27 BOW. Is there any more information?

    Help!

    Having spent my fair share of time in bars and dives in the US and abroad, sometimes as another OLDGI, I can identify with the comment above. ;) :) These days I wear my hat or cap because...I wear it. It's not a conscious decision so much as it's on my head just as my shoes are on my feet...

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    An autumnal rabbit run I ordered and prepaid a Silverbelly today from HatsDirect. Ron writes that they will have this color by mid-November as they replenish their stock. They've had a surge with the exchange rate dropping. Not a bad problem to have since their Campdraft sales usually run in...

    German Feldmutze vintage shop bargain !

    Can't pull the wool over your eyes. Cool (er...warm) hat! What does it look like flaps down? Can't wait to see it involved in some angling endeavors. ;) :)

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    Just to be certain, I queried Ron Lilburne at HatsDirect regarding the Akubra-Stetson arrangement. Here is his reply: "Akubra made the Stetson brand in Australia and probably New Zealand, they did not export these. The arrangement was broken in the mid 90's when Stetson ran into some...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Lookin' good in the neighborhood! I have to agree! Great look, HPG and that green Royal Deluxe is SWEET! I wish Akubra made a Campdraft in exactly that color!

    Nice Gun Club Sam, You and the Tinman are killing me! :rage: I had that Gun Club until the final seconds. :( I should have pulled the trigger before the initial bid when it was BIN. :eusa_doh: I believe that long beaver felt Gun Club dates to the 50's. It's a Royal Deluxe so you have a...

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    True. I could have been clearer. My point was that that Stetson did not import and sell the Open Road made by Akubra. They licensed Akubra to make and sell the Stetson-branded Open Road in Australia.

    Spitfire prototype - Any experts here?

    I have to say again, GREAT Thread, gentlemen! The discussion has been fascinating. It's been civil and, when in doubt, gone back to the best extant material available. Research trumps opinion and all done in good form. Bravo!

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    The Campdraft is a proprietary Akubra product and is in no way connected with Stetson or the owners (HATCO) of the Stetson brand. Inspiration from the Open Road has infected many hat manufacturers. It is probably the most often-imitated/cloned style in existence. If not the most, then...
