Post New Hats Here!

[Hurricane Jack]

My new Imperial grade Taupe Fawn CD arrived just before I left home to meet up with friends for a few days. Delivery in just 6 days from Katoomba, 8 days from order. Great service again from The Hattery/hatsdirect!

I wanted the look of a traditional OR/Cattleman with brim flanged up, in a color other than SB. I chose Taupe Fawn as recommended by other Loungers & because I didn't have a TFCD; if the Cattleman didn't work out for me I could always wear it with a fedora crease & not be duplicating something I already had. The color is absolutely beautiful & I'll have more to say with pics in the Gallery thread.

Before I left home for a few days I creased it by hand only & left it set with an old kitchen rolling pin for some weight in the center crease while I was gone.

When I got back home I decided I wanted to try the look of a more squared off brick crease & longer side dents. I may have the brick set a little too deep for my cranium but I'm going to try it for a wk or so before the verdict comes in.

More in the Gallery thread.

Lembert "Extra", 58cm probably later 1950s early 1960s. The brim has massive flange which is interesting. The interior is very soiled so not so appealing but I like the form.

My first good resale find in a while. Needs some clean up, but the felt is like butter.
1.99 Dobbs backbow.

Steven, Thanks! The felt is of a heavier weight but of good quality. K. & R. Lembert Augsburg produced their own felt including Velour and other specialty finishes.

Akubra Cattleman, Graphite Grey, arrived yesterday. I was busy studying for a test, so I waited until today as not to get distracted. It is slightly big, but the sizing tape has it fitting perfect. It is exactly as I had hoped.

Nice! You have far more disciplined than me. I'd be getting the hat ready to wear for the test, then study. I salute you, how did you do?

You guys keep posting these great CD's and I might have to break down and try another Akubra!

Sweet old Dobbs! I doubt I'll ever see such a nice piece of felt for such a small price.

Just in case you're unfamiliar with Akubras, the more you wear it (specifically, the more you sweat in it) the better it will fit; more snug, and should conform to your head nicely. If it was only slightly too big out of the box, odds are you'll be removing that sizing tape soon. Great hat, and it suits you very well!

Still waiting on the results as many questions required detailed answers.
