    Trouser colours?

    Had a pair of blue velour bell botoms with a double red stripe in the 70's. They're long gone. :eusa_doh: Black Watch plaid double-pleated wools. Haven't worn them in years.

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    They're Heeeeere.... I just opened the front door and there were two boxes from the Hattery. One was the Pastoralist and the other was the Campdraft. :D They're both a tad wide in the 61cm but fit fine with the sizing strips installed. I'm not up to RBH standard but I have put a diamond...

    Why is it called Gambler Hat?

    Dman, That's a real beauty! Can you post a close=up of the ribbon at the back of the sweatband? That's a bit different.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    The Campdraft is Tawny Fawn, the Pastoralist is Bluegrass Green, and the Federation IV is Carbon Grey. I figured to cover the waterfront. Or at least be a contender.

    Was in Target today...*rant*

    Talk about getting ahead of themselves! Same thing is true in Dallas. BUT...they haven't received BIG (XXL) sizes in the vests they advertise online and they haven't received any argyle sweater vests. Perhaps they're skipping autumn and going right to the holiday season. :( [huh]

    A Hat Renaissance?

    Maybe there is a renaissance of appreciation. (?) Here's what I liked,so far, about wearing my VS Dark Moss Forrestor today: The Assistant Principal at my daughter's school said, "That's a fine chapeau.". An older lady at Steinmart Clothing walked from her register to mine and handed me a...

    Okay - Now I REALLY found a 7 3/4 vintage bowler!

    Looks good, DJ. Have you tried it tilted more forward and slightly to one side? You can certainly pull off the rakish look. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
