Sorry to learn of that. I've had a hat shipped (interstate) from Strand Hatters and they were brilliant. Very attentive, friendly, and efficient. So much so that I sent a separate thank you email (which I rarely do unless deserved) They also did a really good bash for my Squatter! Hopefully...

Newest lid to join the felt family living in my study Akubra Rough Rider in Bran (I love it... just need an excuse to wear it)

Latest on the waitlist (to be received this week) is an Akubra Rough Rider in Bran with a $30 discount and free shipping - https://akubra.com.au/products/rough-rider-bran I have an obsession with hats lately, and I find myself spending far too much money on them (although that may not be a bad...

Thanks, Outside Dog. Shoot me your address (or the zip code) in a PM and I'll get some shipping quotes over the next few days for you and we can go from there.

Dear Loungers We are in the midst of planning a 4 week road trip from Spokane into Nth Idaho down through Yellowstone to Monument Valley and Sth Utah. [A long drive, but we are used to driving 2 hrs + to get to the shops...jks] As Australians, we are spoilt for choice with Akubras. However...

My newest addition to the hat rack... an Akubra Angler in Loden (size 60). I've always been interested in the Angler, but had never seen one 'in the felt'. Akubra stock is low EVERWHERE, but I stumbled across a size 60. Tried it on... loved it... wore it out. It's the first 'real hat' I've...

Waiting on a Fed IV Deluxe dark brown (size 60)... hopefully arriving soon! Also waiting on stock for the heritage fawn and carbon grey. Thinking of a cattlemans crease for something different on the Fed IV (already having a rear drop on the other one I have). I really like the cattlemans...

I couldn't find many Fed IV pre-loved when I was looking at purchasing (likely a testament to how good they are!). I ended up waiting and saving a bit longer to get a new one... I am not disappointed! Best of luck on the hunt!

https://hatsdirect.com/pages/the-federation-iv Stock will be in over the next few weeks.

Woah! That's almost 2 pairs here (with discounts). I stopped in at a shop that sells RMs in the Cotswolds last trip... they were about the same price there too (about £400)

They have a buckram inner band (at least the new Travellers do). I always go one size up in Akubra to take into account shrinkage... but that's with leather inner band. The buckram will still likely shrink, just not as much as leather. TBH, I'd still probably go 59 and 57 (and just use some hat...

You won't be disappointed... Their Fed IV is amazing. I was out at the store last weekend... they are lovely people and I will make the 3hr drive to get my hats because of them any day! Patrick also does a good bash.
