Hey team, I've decided to offload some of my collection and have an authentic Aussie dress coat (LARGE size) for sale plus a matching cap in a small 57. Hit me up on etsy if interested https://www.etsy.com/shop/propsword

Awesome, thanks brother! I hope you like it :)

No measurements yet, but here's a couple of pics...

...and just for good measure, here it is with the crown open with a pinch.

Been a while, but I thought I'd add my most recent adoption. Akubra Leasuretime. Classic aussie styling with a stiff felt and a narrower brim than most of its genre. I had initially thought to replace the band but quite like the leather and feather combo. The crown is short but broad and I...

I'll see what I can do. As I say in the link I'm a solid 6 foot 2 and its a comfortable fit, if a tad short in the waste like the original. Measurements to follow...

Hey hat strokers, I'm offloading an authentic Coyles Raiders of the Lost Ark replica jacket for a sweet $60US! It's an XL in excellent condition and has had little wear as I live in Sydney where it doesn't get that cold. If you're interested, I've posted it to my Etsy store...

Not much interest in travelling hat 2.0 then? I was thinking we should pitch the idea to akubra. That way we could start with pix of the hat being made and beginning its journey. I think we can make this thing work! Ill make some enquiries.

Perhaps we should get another one rolling. Maybe we could request sponsorship in the form of a hat from one of the several vendors and manufacturors that have benefited from frequent word-of-mouth promotion from the hundreds of hat-addicted loungers that inhabit this site. We could send them...

Hmmmm...suspicious... Such a shame we lost that hat...again! Tom-n-Perrin was the last man seen in possession of the wandering squatter. Where'd he send it to? Well, wherever it ended up I hope it's being enjoyed.

Thanks lads - love that Mr Freedom - what's the pricetag on those puppies - the site isn't giving it away?

Hey cap lovers - I'm wondering if y'all can point me to some good online sellers of classic flatcaps. Most of the modern variety are a little skinny and short on brim for my liking. I'm chasing a nice soft tweed in the vein of George Clooney's lid in Leatherheads (no, not the helmet!)

Given that some of these go for around the $100 mark online I think you'd do MUCH better picking up a Fed IV for only a few bucks more. If you want a smaller hat with a bit of taper then an Akubra Adventurer or a Fedora would still be closer to the real thing and much nicer hats. If it's the...

I saw an old guy out shopping this week in a chocolate brown "licenced" Indy Fedora complete with the badge on the ribbon. While it's always nice to see a fedora out in the wild - it's really not a great looking hat. It kind of made him look like he'd just bought it at a carnival.

A cracking retort... I almost never get Indy comments as most of my hats are grey but now that I have a brown Akubra Fedora... it appears I fit the bill. I recently got my first Indy comment in years but was able to offer the perfect comeback. Following my daughter's birthday party on the...
