Fedora the explorer

[chris_r]

I quite fancy a brimmed hat for summer. Give me three (dozen) good reasons why I shouldn't buy a fedora.

you will have to say yes to every offer of fruit.

 

[chris_r]

lol. Nice try, but that was a panama.

Dammit Carl! um..... you would have to spend every night singing with your brother and a great backing band to hits such as moany perony and boom boom boom by Bo Diddly!

Good enough for Jake N Elwood so why not?

Get one. Make sure it has a tall crown like Indys though. The Akubra Federation is great.

Why not indeed?

That said, love my Tilley - you can sit on it, drop it in the sea, stuff it in a pocket, use it to collect stuff and it still bounces back for more. Can't imagine a shaped felt hat taking that sort of abuse.

 

[chris_r]

I was looking at this little fella. It's crushable, so may take some abuse.

Ooh, fill your boots (or even your hat) - I'd like to know what that's like.

I just got hold of one of these in my (X-Large size ) as new from my local boot market for £3.00
It was from lost property.

Go for it mate, i've had a few favourite outdoors hats. my persoanl favourite though is my sorely missed fishing hat with a peak and ear flaps in olive green. Ate a tin of meat out the little guy. (quick rub with dry dirt and some leaves then good as new ) now i've got a leather bush hat..nuttin fancy but alright..not that i wear it much anymore unless it's really sunny and i'm shooting my pistol. i fancy a squasy suede hat though, looks so cool and it wont deform like a rigid leather or fabric fedora!

Tall fedora - the only hat I would ever wear, perfect

After one meself. Wear a felted wool trilby to work and love it. So decided my ageing leather bush hat needs replacing with a wool one...

 

[chris_r]

You guys are doing a rubbish job of looking after my bank account. Just need a bullwhip to go with it now.

 

[Retired Member southey]

Have you got the satchel too?

 

[chris_r]

I'd need a 45 litre one for an overnighter. I'll look into it.

Somberro ideal for seistas and summer days not so ideal for buses trains or indoor working.

I like that hat.... you need to try one on and post a pic....

I tried a few hats I liked, and they made me look, as my missus says....special....

I always find using the word "spesh" implies a warmer sentiment.
