Advice - don't have hat and need replacement

Post by IndianaSolo »

So I ordered my keppler and sold my wool DP. YAY!!
Wait, Now I don't have a hat :shock:

So I've been doing a ton of searching and I don't know what road to take.
I don't want to have so many hats lying around my closet. I was hoping to order an AB but I haven't been able to reach Steve and time is a ticking. But I would like a hat to wear that I can have SOON.
Here are some options I've considered:
1. Order an Akubra Adventurer from DM - $135
2. Order an Akubra Sydney from DM- $125 ( http://www.davidmorgan.com/product_info ... ucts_id=92 )
3. Miller Hat 257 - $140
4. Wait and hope that the New Fed Comes out SOOON - $ ???
5. Wait even LONGER for an AB Factory - $ ??? ](*,)
5. Or Ask around to see if Anyone is selling any hats (size 58 )

For those who are daily fedora wearer's you tend to miss something on your head when you don't have any around. The Most I'm willing to wait is 2 weeks (unless an AB Factory or Fed announcement comes between that time)

ADVICE PLEASE, My head is getting lonely #-o

Aren't the regular federations available? I've had mine for 6 ish years now and the only problem with it is that my head has grown a little bit! :lol: They are great hats and as Renderking Fisk used to say, "The best hat I've owned in 20 years..."

Reg Feds are available, but the crown may be too tall and they don't have my size. Basically, I can't get the fed until the new one comes out (whenever that may be)

The Akurba Federations have actually gotten BETTER since the last one I bought. If you need one in a pinch and for the price, you can't beat them.

Barring that - talk to Camptown Ken.
