Wesco Boot Thread.
That's a shame, for sure. How long was your wait for this pair?- Woodtroll

Those bibs are interesting! The sides button up high, and looks like a pocket watch pocket at the right waist? Neat. -
Your favourite commercials
Funny this thread would pop up again. I was just showing the grandkids this video of logging in the old school days. I believe this was a commercial for Sanka (?) coffee. The fellow doing the cutting was in his early 60s at the time. Both he and the camera guys had great big brass ones! They...- Woodtroll

Baking soda discolored my Akubra Cattleman. Anyway to save it?
You might try vacuuming it with a brush attachment. That will probably get the baking soda out, but won't correct the altered texture from sanding. -

Photos of hatters tools
It's great to hear from you, Rick, and great that you're still interested in making hats, along with all the other things you do. ;) -
USPS Ground Advantage Gripes
I've had five packages shipped via USPS from all over the country over the last three days, including one hat from a member here. Every single one of them was flagged with "ALERT! Processing exception - Regional weather delay" at the origin point. All five of them, from various regions of the... -

OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
It may indeed be Bran. I was thinking it might be another color they used to offer called Acorn Fawn. I always liked that color but it had been discontinued, apparently, about the time I got interested in "good" hats ;), and was no longer available in anything my size. I remember someone, maybe... -

I really like the colors on that hat. Should you decide you can't make it work for you, please let me know by PM. I may be interested in it. Thanks! -
Bib overalls and suit jackets
Can't say I've ever seen bib britches "bloused" like that before, except with rubber boots to work in barnyard muck. Interesting!- Woodtroll

Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
Funny you say that - did the photo catch her peeping around the corner to see what you were up to with those hats? :D And don't dare try the "you have more shoes than I have hats" argument with her; that never turned out well for me. Thanks for the comparison! -
Akubra Lightning Ridge
Excellent, it does indeed help. Thank you for the followup! Now I just have to find one in size 62... ;) -
So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Best wishes to you! I hope it turns out to be nothing unusual.- Woodtroll

Akubra Lightning Ridge
Interesting, and congratulations! I thought the crown height on the Lightning Ridge and Banjo Paterson were very similar, just based on what I've read here. If it's a half inch taller, I'll start scouring the auction sites for a used one myself! -
Ask a question, get an answer
Does Akubra tack the corners of their wide bows and ribbons with small stitches? Even if they did, I can't imagine that any high holes from tacking could not be massaged out of the felt, especially if it were new. I replaced the ribbon and bow on my Adventurer some years ago, but I don't...
