Hi everyone, This is my first post here, but I have looked around and I love this forum. This is my 2 week old "Cairo" from the Northwest Hat Company. It's a custom, 100% Beaver hat. Mike has great prices and I think this is a great hat. I added a few personal touches to the bash after re...

The only way I see you having a Clipper fedora by July is to order an Akubra. Also the new Herbert Johnsons! I ordered one on Monday or Tuesday of this week and they said it's already out the door for delivery. :shock: I have no idea if their wait times will stay this way, but at the present moment...

Same here, I placed my order on October 10th 2016 and received it in May 2017 (maybe end of April, since I was out on vacations) Anyway, you can always call John and ask him directly. Good luck! :TOH: Back from the dead! How long does he take to make/ship a hat? I need a Raiders Clipper before a wed...

Sorry to hear that. Do yo have any pics to share?

Duck9000

Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Duck9000

As far as I know, the best options nowadays are the Bill Kelso Relic Hunter and the one made by Steele & Jones.

Happy hunting!

Duck9000

What Holt says is true. Getting a screen accurate jacket when you don't have a screen accurate body is fraught. I suspect the jacket is fine: the fit is the isssue. Most of us buy a few jackets before we get the right one and the correct fit. Before I worked out my sizing I bought about 6 jackets t...

Top notch as always, Andy. BK is the best IMHO

Duck9000

If you have the chance, go for a Penman, any Penman. I already have a S&J HJ, an Adventurebilt and a Penman ABL Raiders and the Penman is the best by far. From left to right S&J, Penman ABL Raiders and Adventurebilt: http://forum.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/4213/medium/IMG_62732.jpg http...

I've always ordered 100% cotton lining, regardless of screen accuracy (LC, of course). First, as mentioned it is a better insulator against cold, it's more durable than nylon, and also more comfortable (sweat-dampened nylon sticks to the skin if you're wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

I'm not a jacket expert by any means, but after 4 jackets (2 of them BK) this is the perfect one for me: drape, fit, color et all http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160127/cb19c6882243388df2c17015bbe673ab.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160127/b8325fb5f02b49d630c18396319aa72b.jpg http://uploads...
