Looking at the Australian Gear site, they have the Angler in loden and in regency fawn. I think this is the regency fawn color.
I see. It was hard to make out the color on my screen but its the same as mine; regency fawn. Its very close to the heritage fawn of my BP. Both are great hats!

Akubra Bushman in Moonstone recently picked up from @Boomerang. It is a bit snug for me but it is reacting well to some stretching. Love the color but will likely reshape into a pinch front.

Great hats, real pity they are discontinued. Heres what a pinch looks like, coming in from the rain. The colour has faded a bit since new but is not as light as it appears in these photos.

Looks great! I once had an older Bushman with lighter weight felt that had a nice tight pinch. I don’t think I can match it as these more modern versions are a bit heavier. Both versions are top notch though and I’m very happy to have it.

Thanks ! That's a beauty, looks perfect. I love a tight pinch like that, gives so much character to the hat. Reminds me to tighten up the pinch a bit on mine next time it gets soaked.

I just took possession of an Akubra Cattleman and it feels very nice and fits perfectly , in many ways looks line my Stetson Gunclub Dune but with a thinner and therefore also softer felt, the ventilation eyelets would probably help to dissipate the heat and the fact that the hat isn't lined will give a better breathability.


addendum:

after two days I feel that actually the hat snapped up bit back and front has a very nice look to it. Loos quite a bit like the hat worn by Pharrel Williams in the " Happy video"
