    Akubra Stylemaster thoughts and opinions

    So I've kind of gotten the hat bug now, and for my next purchase I'm looking at something a bit more conservative, so I thought the Akubra Stylemaster might be a good one to try out. How do people rate it? The other question is, should I branch out and buy other brands, like maybe a Stetson...

    Question about the Raiders brim

    So, I tried to put a proper raiders bash into my new Fed 4, but the brim doesn't droop in the rear like Indy's does. I was just wondering how you can get that really nice sweep and droop that he gets in his hat? I mean at both the front and the rear.

    Some children tried to steal my hat yesterday

    So I was going out for a walk on this nice path beside a canal near where I live. Some children were riding their bikes and took my hat off my head then demanded money to give it back to me. Apparently it was because they were offended because they said "hi" to me and I didn't really give a...

    So I decided to take the plunge and bought a Fed 4 Deluxe in Moonstone as a dressier hat. Just wondered if anyone had any pictures of theirs that they could share so I can see how it will look. Thanks a lot.

    Advice about my hat

The problem I've got is that while the right hand side of the hat looks pretty much perfect, the left hand side appears to have a very slight taper and this kind of "dome" shaped...

    My new DM Akubra Adventurer, opinions please

    So here are some pictures of my new DM Akubra Adventurer with a Raiders style bash in it. Note, I didn't put the turn in it because I found that a little uncomfortable, but I've tried to get the general shape to match up. Let me know what you think.

    DM Akubra Adventurer

    So I've ordered my DM Akubra Adventurer. I was just wondering if anyone can show me any pictures of theirs so I can see how it looks. In particular, if anyone's put a Raiders bash in it, with turn, I'd be interested to see that too. Thanks a lot guys.

    Indiana Jones Raiders Hat Brim Shape

    Hi all, I recently purchased an Akubra Adventurer hat from David Morgan and I want to get the brim to look like it does in Raiders of the Lost Ark. From what I've seen most people's hats have the rear brim turned up at the back and sitting flat like a traditional fedora shape, but in the movie...

    Did I ruin my hat?

    So I bought a new open crown Fedora about a week ago, and used a bit of steam to try and shape it. Unfortunately, I didn't realise that you should hold it a bit away from the kettle, and that too much steam can mess it up. So now my hat is shaped like this |\, i.e. the left side is tapered and...
