Sweet looking Dobbs, Nathan! Great color combo too. The ribbon looks like a bronze hue to me. Similar colors to my Kings Umbrella. Nice score under 50!

Thanks Phill! Yes, you might be right about the colors - it might be close to your KU.
I am starting to remember how it feels to buy a hat... watching eBay for the day it finally ships, tracking it all over the country as USPS continues to miss the target, finally that jittery feeling on the day it's out for delivery... oh the joys of modern hat shopping! I had forgotten this....

There are worse ways to get a rush.
I know whatcha mean. I'm waiting on one that shipped from Washington State. It got within 2 hours from me before it made it's way about 4 hours in the other direction. Maybe it'll be here tomorrow. It's a Knox homburg in black.
I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do with that Dobbs.
Nothing like a good hat high!

Waiting on an Akubra Federation IV from the hattery that was dispatched yesterday. While I wait I’m going through old posts and the internet in general for ideas for a decent but not showy crease and brim treatment.
I would have gone for the campdraft if it had been available in a colour I liked, and the proportions of the squatter seems a little wide and ‘squat’, so the fed was the closest to what I was looking for.

Incoming …
It will be interesting to see the Mallory debossing on the sweat of the fedora. Not sure of the dating of the crown tip logo, but print advertising seemed to drop the script “Mallory” around the time they dropped “& Sons” from the company name (1919/1920).

Thanks Jeff! My wife is not aware of the full extent yet, so I might not make it to 2026.
Thanks Steve! I knew you’d like one or two in the mix.

You can't go wrong with either a Campdraft or a Federation. I wish they'd do a hybrid of the two - basically the Fed with the brim-binding and wind trolley of the CD. Though what I *really* want the Hattery to do is a hot weather version of the Federation: same hat, but in hemp straw. That might challenge my beloved Stratoliners for Summer wear dominance...
Akubra do seem to have cut the colour range in some models. They have a UK stockist now, though they're even more limited: khaki earthtones or go home for them.
