Given the recent interest in Akubras, due to the exchange rate, I spent a few minutes putting together some of the information. This information is cursory, doesn't include many FL favorites and I would really like people to help get more information together about these hats. (i.e. Crown Taper, Crown Height) as well as posting general experience with any particular akubra hat.

If you post, please do it in sections, Give us the name of the style, objective information, then your experience with the hat. (Please include any pictures of the hat - lets try to get them organized for Akubra neophytes like myself).

P.S. I have been corresponding with Sam Menche of EverythingAustralian.com.au, who tells me he can special order hats in most size (including 63 - the size that keeps me from enjoying vintage hats) and color combinations. Oh and I've recently ordered my first non-wool fedora: a 63 Moonstone Grey Stylemaster from them for $64 with shipping (did so just before the recent slight increase in price)

Akubra : Federation IV vs Hampton

Hi
Thanks to your great inputs I think I made my choice. I want an Akubra Hampton.
Can anyone confirm that its crown is less high than the crown of the Federation IV ?

thanks
