    Akubra Campdraft

    Learned the hard way. I have suggested Hats by the Hundred here before, and I now take it all back. I ordered a Silverbelly Campdraft from them as a treat for my 50th birthday and they screwed me. Other people have complained about their service and shipping, and up until now I have had decent...

    Akubra Stylemaster

    I think it looks great on you; not too big and not too small. But it is totally about if YOU like the way it looks. For me, I like it on the larger side because having any pressure on my forehead drives me nuts, and for my face, I like when it is wider so when looking at it from the front of the...

    THE SUNBODY ASSOCIATION

    Excellent choice. I have one of the "Outlaw" hats. It has become my favorite summer hat. It's a little on the heavy side, but I love how it looks.

    Akubra Campdraft

    I have ordered four hats from them over the past 3 years and I thought the packaging was quite good each time. The only problem I had was that I ordered a 60cm stylemaster from them, and it was too small. Although it was only $17 to have it shipped to the Colorado, it cost almost $30 to sent it...

    Akubra Stylemaster

    Yes, I used an old patterned shirt for the hatband on the Capricorn. I didn't care for the one that came with it. It was a polka-dot pattern that I have never seen before in any photos online or on the lounge. Plus, the one that came with it was too wide for my liking.

    Akubra Stylemaster

    Finally got my Stylemaster situation figured out. First of all, I ordered the Carbon Grey in size 60cm (7 1/2) from Hats by the Hundred. 60cm is my normal size, but it was definitely too small for the Stylemaster. I ended up sending it back for a 61cm, and it fits great. Not sure if they all run...

    Akubra Overload

    I used steam to shape mine into a fedora style, however, in retrospect, I wish I had just left it open crown so I could change the shape up once in a while. It seems as though it holds it shape pretty well, but you will probably get several differing opinions on this. Since steaming the shape I...

    New Akubra Stylemaster in Carbon Grey 60cm 7 1/2

    Holy Frijoles! I had no idea it would cost almost twice as much to ship it back as it did to ship it here! Just so other people know what kind of cost they will be looking at if they are thinking about shipping a return back to Australia, it was $28. I probably should have just got it USA from...

    Looks like I'm gonna wrap this back up and take 'er to the post office, so I am going to mark this as unavailable/sold.

    New Akubra Stylemaster in Carbon Grey 60cm 7 1/2

    Akubra Stylemaster Size 60 cm (7 1/2) in carbon grey. Just received yesterday (9/28/20) in the mail from Hats by the 100 in Australia. It is in perfect, brand new, unused condition with a blue feather. After trying it on I decided I would prefer one size up since I like to wear it a bit closer...

    For Sale - Fabricio by Signes Black Open Crown Fur Felt Fedora Size 7 1/2 (60cm)

    New, unworn "Fabricio" 100% rabbit fur felt fedora in black, size 7 1/2 or 60cm. This is a VERY soft, comfortable hat that has an open crown which can be easily be shaped to your preferred style. I took a chance on an online clearance purchase from JJ Hat Center, but I am choosing to sell it...

    Akubra Stylemaster

    I had read that thread, and the photos there are where I saw the differences I was talking about. Some look very tapered and some don't. Ultimately I am thinking $100 is a little risky for a 50/50 chance of whether I will like it on my big ol' head or not.
