MY AKUBRA TERRITORY IS HERE (pictures)

[Akubra]

I am very pleased with www.aussiebushhats.com

I got my Akubra Territory in one week, for 110 Australian

I love the hat. It came with an Akubra chinstrap which I installed with home made retention clips so I take it on and off. I will only wear it with the strap when out on the boat or when up in the mountains (I don't want a gust of wind blowing it irretrievably down into a canyon)

I really like the way you set up the retention clips on the hat; the hat looks great too!

THANKS,

It is important to me to be able to take the strap off when not needed.

I like the retention strap, but I don't want it on the hat if I don't need it.

It is kina like having a belt and suspenders on.

Glad to hear all went well with Aussie Bush Hats. I ordered from them and had a good experience.

I like that wide-brimmed Territory - it will definitely keep the sun off, and it's a good looking hat to boot!

Thank!!

I am going to field test it for sun rain this weekend in New England (our summer has rained virtualy non stop) and next week it will get its desert field test in Tuscon.

Wide Open Territory

Very nice hat and a clever retention method.

What color did you choose, is that supposed to be khaki or sandtone fawn?

 

[Akubra]

That is what they call Khaki. The sandstone fawn is more yelowish.

The khaki color I love, and I am not an interior decorator BUT I just have to say IT ISNT KHAKI. It could be more aptly described as almost loden or even an OD green.

I am out in Tucson right now so perhaps either my Panama Stetson or a felt of a lighter color would of been a better choice. However the hat fits great and offers awesome sun protection.

How is the Territory holding up? I am seriously thinking of buying one for my rain, sun, work hat.

 

[Thunderball]

Anybody else have a Territory? How do you like it?

I tried one on once at the Orvis store in Myrtle Beach. Just a bit to much brim for me. I try not to stray over 3 inches. As an option if you are seeking a nice broad brimmed unlined hat with the grommets I have an Akubra Tablelands I like very much. Narrower bound brim then the Territory but it does come in two stock colours from Everythingaustralian. Just throwing it into the mix.

That looks promising. I think I like the higher crown moreso than the short crown of the Territory.
