That there just looks cold and miserable. But at least the hat looks good. Brrr! I need something warm to drink now.

Cheers!

I have been away from home for a bit so this may have been posted elsewhere. I found this link under the Akubra website news heading.

Mr. Tilley has all those "An elephant ate my hat twice" tales but this hat sure took a beating.

Maybe it was mummified?!:eeek:

Just proves who now makes the "... fan the fire, water the horse" hat today

I wore my Federation IV in the heavy downpour today. It was really the only hat I felt that I could confidently get wet and have it right the way it was, more or less. I actually came back inside twenty minutes ago, so some time had passed since it had got wet, but I'll post a picture of how it looks dry.

Good,
Your Fed looks the BEST of the hats you've had on your head that I have seen so far. It suits your head size and shape the best IMHO

 

[The Good]

Alright, thanks! Here it is, now dry:

I may have indirectly changed the creasing a bit, through handling it while wet, but it still looks good for what I consider my foul weather hat.

A little snowy here today.

Dobbs Woodsman, my go to foul weather hat.

Another beautiful snow shot, Rat Pack. That looks really stimulating ...

Just got off the phone with my daughter in Seattle and she said it was raining, was your pic taken in Seattle? Either way, makes one realize why the good Lord made the Mason Dixon Line

Great picture: You have enough brim width in the front and sides to make any storm a little more comfortable. Just one of many reasons to wear a hat.

My Dobbs 15 after a downpour. The ribbon went from a rust orange to a dark brown!

Thanks to Scotrace for activating my account. I never got the confirmation email.

Lookin' good Scott, and welcome to the Lounge. I'm a big fan of Outback Trading's stuff ever since I got my Station Master coat.

 

[DanielJones]

Snow south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Brrr! Welcome to The Lounge Scott D. Perfect first post.

Cheers!

That grey Pastoralist looks really sharp, MV! That first shot is really classic .

Thanks, Neo.

Nice, nice hat!! Looks like a light grey Bushman with a C-crown! Is that a 3 1/4" brim? I looked on the Akubra site and they show it now selling with a twin cord braided band!! Either one looks good ! Nice hat.
