    What's going on with the FL site?

    Akubra Overload

    I am about to take delivery of my second Fed IV (although Deluxe this time). The first of which has a tear drop. For something different, I was considering getting a cattlemans crease (blasphemy, I'm sure). Has anybody done this with a Fed IV, and if so, would you have any pictures? I've done...

    Akubra Overload

    I stumbled across a 'relatively' new hattery (i.e. since last September) in Robertson, NSW (Aus): The Highland Hattery Lovely owner, Michelle, and a beautiful store. Also plenty of Akubra and Avenal hats. It has real atmosphere, much like The Hattery at Katoomba. Loved it! I'll definitely be...

    Leather belt recommendations

    RM Williams. Look no further. You can definitely get them in the UK (as we saw them on our last visit). But you will pay a premium. Will last forever and then some.

    You, my friend, are a legend. It is indeed the .pdf I was searching for. Thank you for taking the time to trawl the records and upload.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Not a new hat but a new band. Swapped the leather on the Angler for a horse hair braid from Knot-a-tail (great quality). I thought the contrast between hat colour and band colour may be too stark, but I think it works.

    Strand Hatters - Sydney - Worst New Hat Order Ever

    Sorry to learn of that. I've had a hat shipped (interstate) from Strand Hatters and they were brilliant. Very attentive, friendly, and efficient. So much so that I sent a separate thank you email (which I rarely do unless deserved) They also did a really good bash for my Squatter! Hopefully...

    Post New Hats Here!

    My newest addition to the hat rack... an Akubra Angler in Loden (size 60). I've always been interested in the Angler, but had never seen one 'in the felt'. Akubra stock is low EVERWHERE, but I stumbled across a size 60. Tried it on... loved it... wore it out. It's the first 'real hat' I've...
