$210 shipped. Nrk, nrk, nrk.

Hey, thanks fellers. It is a beauty. The Akubra Traveler is a better fit for my needs. After trying the Traveler I found I much prefer a cloth band. Anyway, thanks for your wisdom but it's still for sale! Dave

Hi everyone, I asked Art to make me a lightweight hat for the field....kind of an Akubra. It's beautiful but a little too fancy to take hunting and such. The liner was left out for ventilation and the brim is 2 3/4. The edge was bound to keep it from flopping. I'm asking $220 shipped...

Hi all, It is my paddling companion. It's one size small so it doesn't fly off my head. It's tight but can handle 30+ mph gusts. No chin strap and the foam float is removed for better ventilation. I hang it on a hook outside after the paddle and thus the hole from blowing in the wind on the...

They last me about 5 years. They are pretty tough and guaranteed against mildew! I could have returned this one years ago for mildew and the hole. I think it's time to take them up on their guarantee again. I recently found a hat I like more. I'm sure it won't last 5 years but...

"I don't know whether it was the hat or not but he seemed to find me trustworthy." Cool vintage hat and a gun owner....I'd trust you. I'm guessing you carry a revolver! Dave

Thanks, I ordered the Zephyr and Capricorn. Dave

Thank you. That's an interesting take that I didn't consider. I wouldn't want hemp on my head cause some of the hemp chemical might rub off. Just kidding, if the hemp did rub off I'd already have one. I'm all about the ventilation...don't care if it's plastic, hemp, or whatever gets er...

Akubra for the tropics Hi Guys, My interest in nice hats has rekindled. Which of these hats provides more ventilation? Balmoral (Hemp weave) Zephyr (Polypropylene) Thanks, Dave

Sounds like a plan. Have fun on Oahu. Dave

Hi, The pics were taken at the radio control park in Kailua on Oahu. IMO, Reyn's makes the classic aloha shirt. https://www.reynspooner.com/ Sig Zane on the Big Island also makes some outstanding shirts. http://www.sigzane.com/store/home.php I get most of my Aloha shirts downtown at the...

A cheap mesh hat but it works... Dave
