Re: Best hat for warmer weather?

I switch to my Akubra Territory in the warmest weather......unlined, has big vent holes, and the 4" brim protects my face better. I'll gladly sacrifice the Indy look for comfort........ :shock:

Re: Fed 4 true to size?

Ordering one size up works every time........you won't be using the foam padding under the sweat band very long, and the hat will morph into the perfect fit without it. Hats Direct is the most reliable vendor I've dealt with. Gerry

Re: Akubra Sombrero with Raiders Bash

Old thread, I know, but I love wide-brim Akubra hats............ I have a 4" brim Territory I wear more than my Fed's mainly for the sun protection ( I'm a ginger) but what you did to the sombrero really impresses me. If you want portable shade, you nailed it! I want!

Re: Replacement shoe laces for Aldens

I'm on the look-out for tan colored flat laces for my Aldens. Just like the look of them.

Re: Trip to US Wings tomorrow Now with some pics

I made the trip west to U.S. Wings while in Buffalo on other business two years ago. The drive was worth it because I've learned you have to try things on. Two or three jackets may "seem" to fit, but only one is perfect. I love their product line.

Re: All of the "Close Enough" Boots?

Those Redwing Beckmans look solid. I haven't seen that model anywhere.

Re: Are fedoras too hot for the summer...?

Here in Central Ontario, Canada, I wear my Fed IV all spring, summer, and fall very comfortably. It's the sub-zero winter when it hangs on a hook in my office.

Re: New pants option

Hi, Folks...........I have a pair of Eastman's that I acquired from their U.S distributor at http://www.historypreservation.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I especially like the pocket flaps, but they are a heavy trouser. Certainly not for warm weather, or jungle advent...
