Great shots! In fact, I think they're too good to post in the Akubra Overload and Akubra Campdraft threads.

EDIT: Wink removed.

lol

Thanks, I figured I've posted enough Campdraft shots in those threads already, don't wanna clutter them up until I've a Bluegrass Green one. Thank you for the compliments, they actually turned out MUCH better than I thought. I origninally wasn't going to post any photos, but I really liked how the natural light and shadow interacts with the hat in these pics .


...oh, wait, I didn't see the wink. Ooooooooooooh!

 

[Mr E Train]

Yeah, I'm about as subtle as a sledgehammer, ain't I? lol It's all good.

So, how do the other students react to your hats? Seen any other nice chapeaus on campus?

I've seen a businessman in town who was wearing what I'm absolutely certain was an Optimo, and a couple trendy straws, but not many hats around here on the campus itself. It surprises me, because the sun really gets in at you at low angles and tries its best to eye-fry you lol.

As I suspected, the lighter Taupe Fawn color and thin ribbon seem to deter nearly all insults AND compliments. I have gotten a few compliments from the older crowd (read: graduates and professors) and from several women while standing in line at Subway (do polite people eat at Subway? lol). The general consensus, then, is that I haven't gotten much reaction one way or another. I wouldn't attribute this to a more tolerant population on campus, but rather I would attribute it to people just not caring lol!

When it gets cooler, then some of the men will want to copy you. Tell me that's not true in October and November.

I wouldn't know...it seems caps are the name of the game here, though I've seen quite a few tweed newsboy caps around. I've also noted beanies and one plush pharoah headpiece (?) lol.

No, I mean, when it's October and November, at that time they'll want to copy your hat because its best season will be cooler weather. So I challenge you to tell me in those months that people aren't copying you. Late summer is one thing, fall is another thing. You'll change the styles there.

I accept your challenge.

I feel I have the advantage here, as most people around here wouldn't know a fedora by any other name than "a grandpa hat?" lol. They won't know it's made out of fur felt, and they definitely won't know that fur felt material is good for keeping the heat in.

I shaved off my facial hair (too scratchy for my wife---I was only getting cautious little "granny-kisses"). Once I shaved, I was immediately unhappy with the look of my Fed IV. So, I messed with the crease a bit and ended up with an Indy pinch. What do you guys think? I ask this since I had gotten a few compliments on the wider pinch (as seen in my avatar) from some of you.

My five cents might not be worth much, but I like the tight pinch on it; I'd say it looks good on you.

Ernest, that narrow brim looks good on you. Suits you well.

We took a day-trip to beautiful Bruges (Brugge) in Belgium to-day. It's called the Venice of the north because of it's canals. My VS thin-ribbon got quite a few stares, though I did spot the occasional panama or straw hat.

Berg hits the town...

Today's hat was a 1930's American Berg. Anyone know anything about Berg hats, please enlighten me!

 

[B.J. Hedberg]

Great hats and one grand looking trip today; :eusa_clap RLK’s photo reminded me that I still need to pick up a linen cap for those windy days around here.

Campdraft.

I really do like that SilverBelly color, even if it's not real SilverBelly lol.

It's a great looking hat, Mr. Train!

 

[Mr E Train]

Thanks! Not real Silverbelly? How do you mean?
