I was working there on a contract from UK and bought this along with a Drizabone riding coat. They are still wearing well 40 years on. Picture here though is with my '40s Harrod's teddy bear coat, it's cold in London today in Australia in the '80s.

Welcome to the thread. I really like that coat! The hat was made by Akubra under license from Stetson. There are a few floating around the Lounge. Akubra is making essentially the same hat under the Camp Draft model name. A classic style and you wear it well.

whoops, something went wrong with the text in my post... sorry

Yeah, I was afraid you were trying to tell us in code you were being held hostage or something, LOL!

Great old Akubra made OR. I will fight to the death for my Drizabone duster.

Modern Biltmore, lighting on this very bright day causes some goofy color differences.

Beautiful! Great overhaul.

Hey y’all!
Newest addition.
I only saw one other Boardwalk Stroller in my FL search and was a pecan colored one posted by RLK.
This one was a size Seven that’s been successfully upped 2 1/2 sizes. Looks exactly how it arrived and in the same condition, except a bit bigger.
I love it! Great long hair felt. View attachment 470618 View attachment 470624 View attachment 470620 View attachment 470619

Great to see you posting, Randall. You've been missed. Excellent customisation. Lovely sheen of the felt.

Very nice, Marcel. Adam often go under the radar of American hats, but their understated status shouldn't bely their quality.
