I love the Fed IV!!
:) Now I'm no expert on the subject, but he does seem to have some of the face valleys brought on by age and the Oz sun -
I love the Fed IV!!
Charlie & Boots Movie In an upcoming Australian film called "Charlie and Boots", Paul Hogan appears to be wearing a Fed IV that has been weathered, brim cut (i'm sure to show his face better in filming) bashed as a porkpie and then pinched in front. Any thoughts on this hat? -

That almost sounds like the Akubra CEO or DM Squatter. Just lacking the Silverbelly. -

Akubra Banjo Patterson-55cm Heritage Fawn
So here's the story. I ordered a 56cm Akubra Cattleman and it was a little loose. So when I ordered a Banjo Patterson, I thought a 55cm would be perfect. Well Goldie Locks, that first one was too large and the next one was too small. Baby bear here needs a 55.5cm so I have to stick to using...- Swagman

Question about Indiana Jones
Here's my grandfather from a little before that. I'll have to try and confirm the year. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5e38wWesWS4/SajMDMfG3TI/AAAAAAAAAJk/dhnSRFEcDRs/s512/jichan.jpg -
Akubra for Summer?
All along the top of Australia you will find some incredible heat and humidity. The greatest heat and humidity I have ever experienced was on the tropical North East coast of Australia. I was a ball cap guy then and the thing was wringing wet there. The Aussies were still in their Akubras. -
Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now
The RBA did lower the rate by a full percentage earlier this week. There has been a very slight drop against the dollar, but not significant. Probably all the talk about US government plans to put billions of USD out has done nothing to strengthen the USD against the AUD even with the drop in... -
My Akubra's Too Big
Nice. Best to use one from a day filled with winning bets. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8ZWy3HfT7w In this official Akubra video, they fold up tissue paper. Simple. -
Alpine, Tyrolean, Bavarian Hats
Wear your credit report. In today's economy, think of all the green hats. -

Akubra Delays
True enough and the Aussies are a mellow breed. I suspect, but have no evidence of such, that since it is Summer in Australia that they are filling some local demand for hats like the Cattleman and Snowy River. -
My Akubra's Too Big
My problem with the foam strips is that they are relatively thick, but not very wide. I used some cotton bandage material (can't seem to find a brand name). It is soft and can be cut the width of the sweatband and of any length. I order 56s from Akubra and start with some of the bandage... -
Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now
.66 to the USD The exchange rates have been dipping back in the USD favor lately and it could get even better. Next month the Aus Fed Reserve meets and most believe they will drop the interest rates again and this will likely cause another drop in the AUD. Who knows, it may eventually sink back... -

Hat Guys in Oakland Goose, I don't know where in the Bay Area you located, but you could check out the Hat Guys in Oakland. Been meaning to make the trip myself one of these days. http://www.hatguys.com/ -
Akubra Overload
Nice profile. So what bash did you finally settle on with the hat? -

Akubra Overload
Mr P's Fed Nice work. Very smooth and professional looking. You give me hope that I can achieve a decent bash with mine when it arrives. If it looks half as good as what you've done, ...well, you'll look twice as good. -
Akubra Overload
Glad it arrived safe and sound. Show us how you bash it. Now I'm anxious to get mine. I ordered the same earlier this week. And this is it for a while. I have to stop. The wife said that she realizes Akubras are made from rabbit, but didn't know that they multiply like them. I'm going to need... -
Akubra Overload
Well said and just as I used to think that Stetson only produced Western style cowboy hats, I thought Akubra only produced wide brim outback style or Croc Dundee hats. So wrong since they both make stylish hats. Akubra calls them their "Fashion" line. -
Akubra Overload
I don't think anyone is going to claim that. A quality hat is just that no matter where you wear it. I have to say that I have for years admired Akubras, but never purchased one. Being a Yank and a frequent traveller to Oz, I didn't want to look a little too much like a tourist even if it is... -
Ordering an Akubra from Everything Australian
It seems to me that most of the cost difference is wrapped up in the shipping. That's a shame since the service after it leaves the Hatsdirect dock is no different than when it leaves the EA dock. A reasonable handling fee is understandable for packaging, int'l shipping, but not twice the price...
