I have a pair of Vellies. They have a very wide toe box. Build quality is excellent. I did remove the Jim Green Logo tags. A bit much for a simple boot. They are very comfortable and fit true to size (for me). The only thing that keeps me from loving them is the wide toe box. I have...

^^I as bidding on a black Borsalino fedora on the 'Bay but alas was sniped :(

The Banjo will be my next Akubra.

I've used the Tandy leather hat band kits and they produce a good band. Cost about 12 bucks. I also browse at Goodwill for leather belts, never know what you might find but they are usually around $3. I've been replacing most of my leather bands with Grosgrain. I think it looks better and...

Moehawk, Whoa, that is a complete make over on that Snowy River. I like it, Great job!

I just finished up my Akubra "Down Under" conversions. I scored an Akubra "Down Under" in sandtone fawn off EBay but I didn't like the round styling. I read here about trimming the brim down and proceeded to trim to 2.75". I re-bashed using instructions on the forum and went with a pinch tear...

I just ordered some "vintage" ribbon from this Ebay seller http://http://stores.ebay.com/gracefuljack/ I have yet to receive the ribbon (due tomorrow), so I can't yet comment on quality.
