Thank you. Glad your hat is still holding up!

@@andyfischetti same hat band. UV exposure from 3 years in the sun will do that to fabric

I've thought of other hats that would be more appropriate for these kind of adventures, and yes, crushable hats make sense. I've even tried some on, but weirdly it just doesn't feel right. It's stupid, I know because I'm putting an expensive hat through a beating.🤠

It's a 3d cardboard puzzle

I've been teaching 6th graders all year long. I did do one cool thing with them. We took a half day of school and I let them design their own version of what the add on section would look like. They cut styrofoam, glued it on, painted it, made trees and paper buildings. It was a lot of fun. I'm not going to use what they built but I will make a video on it to show their creative process.

As a runner, none. I use it to hike in. My running shoes are Altras Olympus for trails. My running shoes for roads are Altras Escalantes

It's a 3D puzzle, but it's a pretty good quality on.

Cool beans

It’s a mid brown. Weirdly photographs soft but is darker in person

@@rootieboy awesome! Going to order one. Thank you again for sharing. These vids were very helpful. Looking forward to making my own.

I'm thinking about doing another update after all of these years. The had is in great shape, but really looks like a well loved and used hat. @@bobward7508

That would be awesome! I’d love to see it.

I've been using mine for everything, especially while digging my outdoor patio. I've realized how a nice hat like this can protect from skin cancer because it has such good coverage.

No. I moved cross country and finally pulled it out of storage to work on it

Interesting you ask. I actually just bought the wides about 2 weeks ago and found out that not only does the toe box feel wider, the entire shoe feels wider. I'm hoping as I break them in they will form a little better to the center of my foot which is much skinnier than my toe box. I have an extremely long second toe that is longer than all of my other toes, so I have the opposite problem you have.

@@rootieboy I meant my big toe is recessed vs the second but mot not all of the others but yeah sounds like you have a “Greek” foot too.

It's still going strong my friend. It's my go to. I swear it will last forever.

It was at the beginning of the pandemic. It was common courtesy to put it on while passing by others on the more narrow trails. Other than that, it came off when we were clear of others.

Thats awesome! Well traveled. Mine suited me well in Paris this summer

Not really. They aren't incredibly insulated. If you don't need a hiking boot and the ground is dry I would suggest a trail runner. I usually go for Altras for that.

@@rootieboy thanks, I appreciate it. Have a good day! I decided to go with the Firebrand 2. I kinda wanted a high top but the firebrands looked good.

no problem.

Right where I left them. In the filing cabnet at the back of the classroom. You remember, right?

@@rootieboy that’s what we said in class, but apparently the cabinet wasn’t there. They did keep the brick wallpaper up though.

@@jaredmellinger5126 That's tragic. All of that work.

It’s all good. I’ve actually reshaped the hat many times since. It’s now a more oval shape. The hat does fit perfectly though. Any smaller and it wouldn’t fit on my actual head 🙂

I've got long arms. I often have a hard time finding long sleeved shirts that match my arm length, but luckily this shirt the leaves go just short of my knuckles.

@@rootieboy thanks! I appreciate you . I was also curious what size jacket you recommend with someone the same build as yourself

@@tomsellec5712 I don't have a jacket yet, however, I'm somewhere inbetween a 36 and a 38 chest size. Like, right inbetween and they don't always make a 37.

Right on the pointy part

haha. Yeah, I was sitting on the beach after surfing and realized the rock kind of looked like a face, so I went home and painted it blowing a sailboat away from the shore

I've never measured it. If it helps it is original. If I hold it up to my 13 inch macbook it appears to be 11x11 but that's just visual reference.

You're welcome. I was really a beginner in Indy gear when I made these videos. There are so many people who have gear reviews and they've done their research. The one thing I really try to focus on is visual detail so you can really see the color and texture of the gear. I also use my hat and bag daily. They really are functional beyond costume use.

It's an Akubra, which is Australian and the Herbert Johnson Fedora was based off of the Australian style. I've handled a Herbert Johnson and it's beautiful, but also $550. I would wear the Herbert Johnson for fine dining, but I wouldn't put it through a beating. The Herbert Johnson is also quite flimsy, so I'd compare it to a tuxedo and the Akubra to the reality of what the hat would have to endure.

Tilley hats for hiking make a lot of sense. They have great airflow and they are crushable so you can store them away. This is built more like a tough and rugged Australian cowboy hat that you'd wear working the ranch and for a night on the town. It's a beautiful hat that takes a beating.

@@rootieboy I have a paramount safari hat fedora very similar shape as the indy hat but still find the tilly on my head most often. You're a hat guy so I know you understand when you find that perfect fit it's hard to beat.

@@raybrock5917 After a while the right hat just molds to your head and becomes a part of you. It feels great and people begin to recognize it as a part of your identity.

It's been there. Great thing about Akubra hats is that they are such good quality they take a beating and still look beautiful. I fell in the river the other day on my hike and I just set it upside down on my counter for the night and it was ready to go the next day. The gold logos on the leather band are almost worn away after 2 years with the hat but the hat itself looks like new.

They are too heavy and clunky for running. I would go with a running boot by Altra or other racing brands

@@rootieboy For context I currently wear Red Wings King Toe ADC and they are about five pounds. Not there intended purpose but I can run about a quarter mile in them before I need to take a breather. Hiking and general use would be my main priority with these boots, running on the side.

@@burhansecvr7665 I mean, I can run in them if necessary. I'm a runner, so I'd say they are a hell of a lot lighter than what you are wearing. They also are not bulky. Some of the slimmest and sturdiest hiking boots I've owned.

I thought the straps on the shoulder were Epaulets
