you & Mayserwegner split the grand prize for coolest Pug/ribbon

Wonderful hat Mike. Looks perfect!

The perfect accessory for a warm afternoon filled with drinks with little umbrellas in them.
That hat would even look class act pulled down over your face while passed out in a lawn chair.

Hello fellow Loungers! I had posted in this thread several months back when I bought a 1920's Cawnpore Tent Club helmet. Well I have to say I have yet again bought a pith helmet. This is my newest hat, a 1930's Indian pith helmet made for the Egyptian market. Although it's missing the top strap and has some crown damage, it fits Perfectly

Thanks Steve, it does have some juice!

That's quite a nice helmet. I should look into one for this Alabama hot and humid weather. Something to wear with a nice GnT, maybe.

My new Akubra Campdraft Deluxe Moonstone arrived yesterday. I just finished bashing it in to a teardrop / C-crown and the brim is still a bit wet in the pictures. The quality of the hat is incredible if compared to the modern Stetson...

 

[Orangegrad]

Very nice! The Moonstone color is amazingly versatile. And the Heritage felt will last several lifetimes. Nice choice.

 

[dh66]

Congrats on the new Akubra. Great job on the crease.

New hat store in central MN!

I just bought a nice Homburg in Long Prairie, MN! I'm so excited there is now a decent hat store up here close to where I live.
BTW, I don't own it, or know the owners, or anything like that.

Mikko - Nice CampDraft, and the crease looks great. Are you shortlisting other colour variations yet?

Wine65 - very nice Optimo

American Beaver Brand

Hey gents,

This is the American Beaver Brands hat I picked up--last week I spent a little time with some steam trying to rework an uninspiring center dent, no-pinch crown and a super stiff, uneven brim. I got here before I put it down:

Not bad for a first time, but I hoped I could do better. Today I took another shot at it, using a spray bottle to give the hat a good soak, and hitting it with steam when I was done:

So there we go. I'm still not sure what the ultimate fate of this hat will be, but it got what I wanted out of it--I'm feeling pretty good about doing minor re-creasing myself.

Cheers,
A

Thanks Guys for your kind words. CampDraft doesn´t just look great, it also feels great. It´s about 1/2 sizes large but with a little padding it fits just like it was made for my head! And straight from the box! Astonishing.

Mikko - Nice CampDraft, and the crease looks great. Are you shortlisting other colour variations yet?

Silverbelly would be the obvious choise for next hat, if only my wife would give me the green light

Wine65 - Beautifull Optimo!

Lotsahats - Goof job on the crease. Lovely hat.

 

[ManofKent]

Mikko - I recommend the BlueGrassGreen from EverythingAustralian

Aaron - looks much better. A blue American Legend and a silver Beaver Brand reached me today - very happy for the price, but they'll need a little recreasing too.
