You're welcome, glad you found the review helpful! No I just leave the gaps - they're very helpful for ventilation actually, especially with a lined hat. Yes getting the sizing right is really important - if in doubt go up a size, even if you are right on a size go up to the next one. And...

Ok here are some headshots as promised: Brim up: Brim down: As you can see, it works well both ways :D

I agree, the carbon grey only appears grey in bright sunlight, otherwise it's more of a charcoal colour.

Thanks! Glad you liked the review!

Ok here's how I've come to this conclusion - take a look at these two pictures and note the shape created by the sweatband: Bogart: Stylemaster: The teardrop crown of the stylemaster (at least in my examples) creates an oval that is wider and shorter than the Bogart. I know this is true...

You're welcome Eric, it's a nice lid! You can also consider the Stylemaster as others have said, it will be a better fit IMO if your head is oval. Long ovals fit the Bogart better. Bruno

Haha yes there's a big difference between mm and cm! I suspect all of these sources are correct - it's just how you measure the crown. As I said in my review, if you measure the height of the crown externally you get 12cm to the highest point on the crown which is the side of the hat...

I was hoping nobody would ask for one of those :rolleyes: Ok I'll try and sort something out in the morning. Thanks for reading!

Greetings everyone! Thought I'd post a review of my birthday hat for this year, the Akubra RAP. This is Akubra's take on the black pork pie: Hat has a 49mm brim with bound edge and a 100mm crown. Ribbon band is the standard Akubra type, 32mm. The bow is nicely tacked in all four corners to...

I have a stylemaster in Acorn fawn which looks very much like the hat in the picture above, right down to the colour: Just replace the band with a contrasting ribbon and flatten the front a bit. Yes the stylemaster has some taper but not as much as the bogart. Unless you're a real purist I...

I have a 20 year old Cattleman that came with a combination braided leather hatband/chin strap - what I did was wind the chinstrap around the crown and tie a bow in front. Not sure if this achieves the look you are going for but it does get the chin strap out of the way:

You're welcome, glad the post was helpful. The carbon grey is about as versatile as you can get as long as you don't mind having a hat that blends in to an outfit rather than standing out if you know what I mean.

What does that mean, please?

You understand correctly :D The pictures above were actually taken after said rainstorm and as you can see the hat is still in like-new condition. I probably wore the hat about six times before I decided I didn't like the fit. Hats by the hundred have a great return policy - they'll take any...

I've placed four orders with them this year - every single one was fulfilled perfectly: no delay, items all correct and all packed and shipped very nicely. They really use common sense when packing - for example on my most recent order I ordered a hat jack as well as a Stylemaster: the hat jack...
