Cool, Randooch. Last winter, my Wigens got a lot of use. The Wigens are bit like a modern 4wd that you might have parked next to your vintage car - the vintage car is great for posing in, but the 4wd is built like a tank and you can take it anywhere and not worry about it. I also have an eight...

Warning, actual colour may differ from photograph... a lot :P

Will have to google Cabela's. Thanks, John :)

It's the wearing of the basest form of casual dress at all times and the derision of anyone that makes an effort to be neat and tidy. If I have a shower and put on an inexpensive button up shirt and a pair of cleans jeans and go down to the pub, people ask me why I am dressed up. Apparently, how...

It's something I noticed about the Finns when I visited Finland is what snappy dressers a lot of them were. Well, it was the end of winter and a lot of people were wearing black, but a lot of the people I saw looked neat and nicely dressed. I think it is actually easier to dress nice in cooler...

I'm not a big fan of loose floppy type slacks, as I have skinny legs. I look much better in jeans. Something I like are brown jeans, moleskins or similar weight trousers. I haven't tried it yet, but I think they would go well with the Akubra Adventurer I just bought. I've tried the adventurer...

Well, the Adventurer is quite different from Federation then, it seems. The brim might also be a quarter of an inch longer in the front and back, if I've measured it correctly. The brim dimensions given on EA are different to the Adventurer than on the Akubra site too, and I don't know how old...

The Akubra Adventurer I scored off ebay for $48 plus postage (unworn and apparently only used for a display). The brim needs a bit of attention as it was only packed inside a box with bubble wrap, but I am very pleased with it. This along with the Akubra Arena I bought a couple of years ago are...

Sounds like you are a fellow humanist, Wolfwood. There are valid arguments in some circumstances. If the domestic product is at a disadvantage to products made in countries due to cheap labour and less regulation in those countries, then that is good grounds for paying extra for the domestic...

Exchange Rate If you're from the States thinking of ordering an Akubra from an Australian retailer, might want to watch the exchange rate for the next bit. The Reserve Bank has just cut interest rates and China is slowing down, so the AUD is probably in for a bit of a slide. The Greenback will...

That's strange, Neophyte, considering how much business they do here in Australia, to not keep their site up to date. I think the burgundy CEO could look really sheik... if it had the same kind of tone combination as per the steel grey. I've never seen a burgundy Akubra and can't find an...

Ah, you are who I am quoting then... but I relate to that. Whenever I've been in a shop and tried on a stingy brim (mostly the cheapo variety), I've looked in the mirror and immediately taken it off in embarassment. You look to have a very similar build to my Grandfather. I'm tallish but light...

Nungar Goodness, Nungar trading has some Akubras I've never seen before. They have the CEO in burgundy. That could be interesting and the CEO might actually work for me. I've bought Ariat boots through this mob. They also have this specimen. Looks like an Akubra Cowboy with a rather different...

Yeah, this is true.... but I am just trying to figure out why the smaller brimmed hats I've tried have never seemed to look much good on me to me. Is it because I am not used to the look, after wearing western hats, or is it my face and frame that is making it tricky. I am not that wide in the...

Some of those suggestions from both references don't add up entirely with my experience of western hats. It says for pale complexion, blue is a good colour and brown is better for those with darker complexion. I find brown hats work for me and blue hats don't work for me at all. I guess you just...
