The main reason that the stiffener is on my mind is because I heard somewhere that it adds water resistance. Any thoughts? From the Akubra website.....for what it's worth. First and foremost - Never leave your hat in the car or in direct sunlight when not being worn. Do not force dry the hat if it ...

Even with what a hat does to my hair I take mine off when etiquette dictates. Of course when I lost mine I didn't take it off the class 2 rapids did...lol

I have a 60's Stetson stingy brim that is a color that I might call slate. In some light it looks brownish in other lighting greenish.

Let's see I received the confirmation to my order at 11:53pm Sunday 11/02 and the hat arrived at approx. 3:30 pm Monday 11/10. So, without figuring out all the change of time and date stuff 5 shipping days more or less. That was regular air shipping to Wisconsin....lucky me. Boy was I worried when I...

What led you to buy the Moonstone as opposed to the carbon? Preference? Well it was a long road....lol I have always liked fedoras, I can remember my father wearing one when I was young. I had a couple of old hats when I was in High School and later I picked up one of the "better" Indy ha...

Collecting original props is fun. But the sad fact is that if you don't go into the hobby well armed with knowledge, you are going to be eaten alive. There are many, many fakes out there, making it extremely easy for a fool to part with his money. Potential buyers would have only themselves to blam...

Well I got mine today and it arrived in the box that I think may have been beat up by customs. It had the kicked look but I noticed that it had been pierced by something just about the size of a pencil or sniffer tube. My friend who was on hand for the arrival was the one to come up with the idea......

I didn't walk away so much as the river took it away from me. Lost my first Indy style hat to a white water trip in.....err 1985 I think I was. I could ride my bike(interceptor) around town and not loose it. But, getting it back from the river only works so many times.....

I am not skilled enough to be a critic but I think the hat looks good, and good on you. I am however envious of your backyard. I miss the country :(

After re-reading my post I realized that the negative vibe might be misconstrued as the fault of Hatsdirect. And since it was a nonproductive gripe/rant that had nothing to do with them it really wasn't worth posting anyway. While I understand and respect you reasons to delete the post I am happy t...
