If it's a blizzard I would think WARMTH would be needed
I would NOT wear a brimmed hat in what you folks are getting ! A wool watch cap and the hood on the parka over that might work better Onward thru the Fog

That is true. Under 35 or 30 degrees, off goes the fedora and on goes the stocking cap. I mean I like the style of fedoras, but I like not freezing better.

Concur wholeheartedly. Although it is brimmed, in weather like we have been getting I usually wear my wool Tilley winter hat (with built-in ear and forehead flaps). Got one for my wife this year and she loves hers as well!

Anybody else ever use their wind cord? I did today ...
Was a little gusty out while shoveling this morning, but the worst was over by then. Decided against wearing it out last night during my first shoveling session; went with the hood on my parka.

I prefer a brimmed hat, especially when there is weather, as it keeps the snow away from my face, and I can dip my head into the wind to protect my face. Now I just need some earmuffs to keep my ears warm.

How do you use a wind cord?

There's a button at the end of the cord. You attach it to a convenient buttonhole, either your lapel or, in my case, the flannel shirt under my parka.

I picked up 3 pairs of the 180's off E-bay. Black, grey and tan. I find they work very well with my Campdrafts or Traveller and I just leave a pair in my coat pocket of the jackets. Grey with the blue parka coat and tan with the brown leather coat. They come in just about every colour and texture.

I have a set of 180's and a cheap knock-off I found on e-bay. Both work great. I prefer the fit on the knock off pair.

I could use one of those here in Kansas City today
That seems a little excessive for walking around campus here, but it certainly looks like it would work well.

Back around page 175 there was discussion of the possibilities of getting enough orders for Akubra to make some Camp Drafts in the Heritage quality felt. I'm all for that! Personally, I'd like to see them start with the traditional silverbelly color. With spring and summer approaching, I'd love a new CD in Heritage in silverbelly, and then use my regular silverbelly for more sweaty use in warm weather. Whoever is spearheading this endeavor, let me know what I can do to help (I'm a big Hatsdirect repeat customer).

You'll get it to work when someone comes up with the money for Akubra to do the run. Money talks.
In the past, people in other endeavors have tried to do things based on the number of people that were interested, but always there are those that will have promised to be part of something that can't or won't when the time comes to pony up the bucks.
I have seen this theme repeated a number of times.
The key is to know the number of hats and the dollar amount that it would take for Akubra to do the run and get that amount of money to your Australian buyer.
This usually takes any wheres from 25-50-100% number of promises OVER the number needed so the actual number of payers that will come thru with the money will be enough.

We tried for a Moonstone back in 2009 & hinted for a Heritage grade version.(see my exchange with Hats Direct below)
I am for trying for a Heritage Silver Belly if we think it is a more desirable color.
Here's how we got the Glen Grey =
EVERYBODY needs to email sales@hatsdirect.com & ask Ron for a HERITAGE grade SILVER BELLY CAMPDRAFT & specify the size, reference that you are from THE FEDORA LOUNGE.
My email is going out today. I'll start a thread to post this message & for you to post that you sent your email so we can see how many we sent....

What does Heritage quality mean? How much would this custom run hat cost?

I just fired off my e-mail to Hatsdirect re: Camp Draft in Heritage in silverbelly.
