Hi folks, today I am wearing a Dobbs Jet that I acquired at a North Carolina flea market on a recent trip for a whopping $2.50. The color is willow. I bought it to put on Ebay, but I kind of like it. I usually lean toward a wider brimmed hat for myself, but this one is growing on me. Today was...
Soon after I got my Adventurebilt, a seagull had the audacity to make a deposit on the ribbon of my favorite fedora. I gently wiped it with warm water, but it didn't help much. There is still a lightly visible mark. Unless someone can come up with a suggestion to clean this year or so old bird...
Well, my mid-brown Campdraft came yesterday and I love it. I think I have it pretty much like I want it. I styled it last night and wore it a little while this afternoon. Here are a couple of pics. Think I did ok?
My latest butchering of a cowboy hat!
I recently found a Stetson Tyler at a flea market for 3 dollars and decided it would make a good hat to practice on since it was my size. I wish I had taken a picture of it before I did anything, but the first picture in this post looks just like it except...

Ok, I just pulled the trigger and special ordered the mid-brown from Hatsdirect. Now for the wait! It should get here about the same time as my grey hat ordered from John Penman. You folks are killing me. O well, at least I am becoming well hatted (hehe). :D
Yes, toobacat's mid brown campdraft is the one that put me over the edge. I think I'll want to style it almost exactly like his if I can. I've recently started playing around with creasing myself, but I've got to learn some more. Thanks JtL for the answer on the shade of brown.
Boy, you guys are not good for my hat health ( or maybe you are very good!). I was looking through some old posts and have become very interested in an Akubra Campdraft. I own 2 Akubras already (Fedora & Riverina) and am getting partial to them. Anyway, I really want the bluegrass green color...
Add another Riverina
Well everybody, I kept looking at this Riverina and ordered me one too. I just liked the looks of it as soon as I saw it. I'm not sure if I want to change it at all...at least not for a while. I'm looking out the window.....waiting for the UPS truck.
You're right about that Undertow. For that price, it doesn't matter. And ever since a seagull made an unpardonable dropping on my Adventurebilt :rage: (I still have a little character mark on my ribbon), I have been looking for a lesser target for them when I'm knocking about at the flea market...
Hello everyone, I just had to share my $1.50 yard sale find. It's a Serratelli 2X Truman hat. I didn't care for the bash so I put the steam to it and changed it a little more to my liking (figured for a buck fifty I couldn't do too much damage). It will never replace my Adventurebilt, but I...
My Hat This Weekend
Ok, here I am with my favorite hat to date at a local flea market,where among other things, I am always on the lookout for a fedora.
Wow RBH, that is one nice looking hat! Makes me want to add cowboy hats to fedoras I am always looking for, now that I see it doesn't have to remain a cowboy hat. If I ever find one, I may be asking you for pointers. Very nice touch!
