Akubra, Stetson, KTG Hats: Good for Summer!

All three brands have great summer styles to protect from the sun! You need a good summer hat to protect from skin cancer. I’ve known a couple of guys that had to have spots removed on and behind their ears because ball caps don’t protect these places.

    0:24 you know, I’ve never thought that hat was 2-3/4 front back… or even 2-5/8 in the sides… I think that hat had to be wider than that… had to be closer to three. I’m thinking at least 2-7/8 front and back and 2-3/4 sides. I see the hats in all the other movies (in most of the scenes) as shorter than this, but I think in Raiders it was longer than what we have been thinking it was. The hat at the shot in 0:24 just looks closer to three inches to me…. I’ve always thought that at least in some scenes the hat brim dimensions were longer. What are your thoughts? 👍

    • @HatLifeAdventures
      @HatLifeAdventures Před 10 dny

      You know, that very well could be that the brim is overall wider in Raiders. I’ve heard from a couple of places that the brim (or brims since they had more than one) was actually hand cut down after purchase; the inference being with scissors. Whether that’s true, I don’t know. I’ve also heard that they had several hats of varying brim sizes for lighting purposes while filming Last Crusade. That doesn’t look to be the case with Raiders because the hat really looks similar throughout the film. Thank you for this!

    I'm still on the hunt for a perfect Summer straw hat. I have an Akubra straw offering (that was unfortunately eaten by the conveyor belt in the security line at Hartsfield here in Atlanta). And I've got one of those Amazon hats too - but it's a bit too heavy. I'd actually like to find more of a cowboy hat that's straw. I've tried a version of the Open Road hat but it wasn't quite right. Oh well, the journey continues...

    How much time did you leave the hat on the steam? And how many time should i put it on the steam if the material is polyester? Also, i already did that, but every time i try to shape it, i press it so it shapes, but as soon as i stop putting pressure on it it comes back to its normal form, how do you make it stay there?

    • @HatLifeAdventures
      @HatLifeAdventures Před 14 dny

      Yes, a wool or fur felt hat that is sold as “open crowned” (round crown) is the best sort of hat for this process. A hat that is shaped by a mold under lots of heat and pressure is very difficult to reshape. Great question, thank you!

    Hi there! I got my Akubra Federation IV a couple of weeks ago and I have found myself using more my AdVintage. Something is off in the Akubra and I don't know what. I ordered a 60, and having a 59,3cm of head, the hat feels massive. I am using foam but the Crown looks TOO BIG, looks like the Hat was close to 61cm in size than the 60 that I asked for (and what the label says). The brim is shorter than the AdVintage and also the color is too dark for an Indy hat instead of a Sable color of the AdVintage (IMHO). I have tried to shrink the sweatband using water and blowing it with a Hair Dryer, same for the crown, but got no results. Do you have any tip? Just by wearing the hat will it shrink both the sweatband and crown to a true 60? Seriously, I can't believe that a 60 looks so big on me. My AdVintage is a 59 and I had to stretch it because my head hurt when wearing it, so can't understand this massive difference in sizes. Thank you so much for your videos and your time. Greetings!

    • @HatLifeAdventures
      @HatLifeAdventures Před 17 dny

      Yeah, it’ll start off big, but by wearing it and sweating, the sweat band will definitely shrink to your size. It’ll take some time for it to form to you, but it will be worth it!
