Nice, but isn't it a lightweight?

Silverbelly Campdraft, Dee tells me to wear the brim this way.

Here is brim regular.

Thought I would leave the string on with the ribbon change.

Now, that's what I call a hat "rack"...

 

[zetwal]

And the doe seems quite impressed (even if she is trying to be nonchalant) ...

 

[jimmy the lid]

Wonder if that lid was made by "Buck"-a-roo Hatters?

Didn't you play a villain on an episode of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E."? (if I recall correctly, you were the diabolical inventor of an avalanche machine...)

Nice Lid.

What is the crown height on an Akubra?

Great Tie too!

Gumbo.

Thanks, Gumbo. Fed IVs are 5 1/2 open crown. I dont measure it after Ive creased it. I just play with it until I like the proportions on my head.

 

[Gumbo Book]

Thanks for the sizing "scottyrocks"
And I agree totally about "playing" with the crown. I think that was some of the great things about 30's hats. The bash was always individual to the owner ( as I heard somewhere they were mostly sold open crown ) I do want an Akubra Fed, especially for the price ( hmm wonder what would happen if you re-pounced the felt ) I had a christys adventurer that really let me down with a LOT of taper and even wrinkle point around the base of the brim/crown.
So I brought a vintage Herbert Johnson, very Indy in Sable but with a 2 1/2 inch brim all the way around ( with a pentagon shaped red crest in the liner if any one can tell me about that please help) Three vintage Lock fedoras and a couple of vintage boxed fedoras. So I'm in the market to buy a new made Hat so to say. I like the Abubra grey Fed though...quite a lot.

Thanks again for the measurments!

Gumbo.

That is a really nice color and the ribbon is just right for it.

Yesterday & today.... Resistol Double X with the crease changed from cattleman to teardrop..

Sacreligious.....but it does look pretty nice perched up there!

Looks great with that ribbon color John. Very nice box-bow.

This is a new-for-me borderline stingy, a "Bourse-Cellini" Fifteen.

Sharp, Torpedo!

Wore my Stetson Dexter this morning for church. Picked the low crown for the gusty winds blowing through.

 

[RBH]

Thanks Mr P, that Stetson looks great on you!
