This is wonderful,and if it was only a 7 1/8 it wouldn't be here!
From Akubra's website:
"The Aussie Slouch Hat, one side turned up against the crown, has gained worldwide recognition. Akubra has made these hats for the Australian Army for over ninety years. Proven in the toughest of desert and jungle conditions by Australia’s fighting men, the Slouch Hat enjoys an unequaled reputation for rugged quality."
This hat carries the distinctive puggaree, and is of course, a ful-quality military hat in Superfine Quality pure fur felt. It has an open crown so that you can customize it, leather chin strap, and brass clip to hold the brim up in the characteristic manner. The color is regulation British Khaki. It has a reeded roan leather sweatband and two eyelets for ventilation.
The particular hat come complete with a brass "Australia" cap badge, fitted in the correct position. It does need a VERY minor and easy repair; the clip has come off the side and needs to be re-sewn. It was, of course, Made in Australia by Akubra to full army specifications.
This is in Very Good/Excellent condition. It is a size 59.
Asking just $49, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
