Akubra Riverina safari-ized

[Blackthorn]

Nice I think I will get one now

Who sells them? I'd love to get one before my next jaunt.

They've been sold out for years - one of the dangers of reviving old threads!

I was afraid of that. Thanks, Doc.

There's probably one of the Aussie hat styles at Hats Direct that would be similar, though, and could be adapted in the same way. It was just a matter of removing the original band, adding the pugaree, and a little reshaping of the dents. I was a bit daunted at first, myself, but it was actually really easy. Major kudos to Mike for bringing this to the Lounge.

I'm picking up a khaki Riverina today, which I intend to safari-ize.

So, Bump.

David Morgan has the Akubra Territory in Fawn for $115.00, they are "rejects" means they have some small holes in the liner. With shipping $124.00. I am planning on putting a pug on the one I ordered. This looks similar to the hat that Kilmer wore in "Ghost and the Darkness". I believe it will go nicely with my Whitworth .375 H&H. Now if I can only find a Cape Buffalo or 2 in the back pasture!

This has been most interesting and informative. My usual safari wears a zebra skin but I just 'safarized' a IJ. I think a Lawrance puggaree is in order . . . In fact, I may just get two of them for when I buy a better safari hat!

Looks very nice.
