What hat are you waiting for today?

[moontheloon]

I'm ready to start driving around town chasing down UPS trucks...

I've done it ... and I'm not proud of it

You'll like Peter's Bros.hemp.

It's really light and airy. I think it's going to make a great summer lid.

Shane did my Milan Hemp. Hes good. Did they have any Stetsonians...?

No, sorry. They don't have gobs of stock hats, and seem to mostly concentrate on the westerns. There aren't stacks of Stetson and Borsalino boxes, just some racks with a few factory hats. I should have taken some pics...

Dont kno why many dealers don't stock the Stetsonian. Shane makes the Milan Hemp pretty stiff. Nature of the beast or maybe mine is just stiff. It will at least hold its shape well.

Lol. Me too. Like a dog chasing a truck.

Waiting for a Stetson 7X Clear Beaver. Should be here by Mon/Tue. I'm trying not think about it. Hopefully this one will fit me perfect. I've had several and sold them all.

Greetings! I'm a newbie to this forum, and wanted to introduce myself. My infatuation with fur-felt hats started a few years ago when I purchased a couple of Bavarian style specimens to wear at the German-American club here in Louisville. But now the fedora bug has bitten me hard. I'm currently waiting on a Chicago from Optimo in Brownstone with a Nicotine ribbon, and a Draft Camp Deluxe in Silverbelly from Akurba, purchased from Hats Direct. Both should arrive within the next couple weeks; and I can't wait! I may be back to ask for some advise on how to bash my Camp Draft, as I've never done this before.

KY Crusader, welcome. Expect that infatuation to turn into an obsession if you stick around here.
Be sure to post some pics when your hats arrive.

Mr. Crusader
welcome home first of all ... you have come to the right place

I think if you casually peruse the "what are you wearing today" thread you will see a number of fantastic bashes

couple that with any questions and I think you will find everything you need here pertaining to your concern with bashing your CD

there are some masters here who I myself have learned from ... and am still learning from

to me the most fun thing about hats is putting your personal stamp on an open crown

let us know when your hats arrive .. can't wait to see them

Need to work on my proofreading: of course, I meant "Camp Draft" and "Akubra."

 

[Frunobulax]

Welcome, KY Crusader. You'll have fun here, and you'll learn a lot. Like Moon says, putting your own mark on an open crown is a blast. CDs are great hats, and I can't wait to see your Chicago.

I'm looking forward to this mid-brown RM Williams Akubra, which should arrive Monday. From everything I've read, it's basically a pre-creased Campdraft. The first order of business will be to re-block it, re-flange it if necessary, and hand-crease it. Hats by the Hundred in Brisbane has them listed currently at $115 USD.

This led me to ordering the same hat.

Should be here in a week and a half. Can't wait, but have to...

 

[g.durand]

moon and Fed, we will have to compare notes on the R.M. Williams, then. By the way, it looks like the Australian Gear and Hats by the Hundred websites have the same format. I think they're the same outfit.

I thought the exact same thing

same layout ... same stock ... something tells me same company

Brood Herringbone newsboy:

I actually got it, but they sent me an extra large instead of a large, so I'm shrinking it slightly in the wash. Still have yet to wear it for an extended period of time.

Yeah, me too! Can't wait to get mine.

Bushman, that's a nice newsboy! I've been debating about getting the RM Williams hat, but probably waited too long. I've got a brown Campdraft coming, as well as a new Northwest hat. Plus a couple of caps! I may have to start using the shoe and purse defense with my wife.
