Akubra Overload
Harrison K.: I got my Lightning Ridge from David Morgan. It is now my favorite non-custom lid. I think you will find it is worth it, wherever you finally get it. stratcat: Those both look GREAT! I'm in a rural area, so I don't really wear any of the classic fedora styles, but if I did it... -

Well, I'm one US customer who prefers the "outback" style over the traditional fedora. Not that it really matters, of course... -

Akubra sizing: I wear a 57.5... What should I order? Shrink or stretch?
Something else to consider...shape of your head. For example, mine is a rather long oval, and I have found that I get a better result with slightly stretching a hat to that shape, than I do trying to get a larger "round" shape to shrink to that shape. The larger hat seems to have too much... -

Nice choice, pmjk. That is the way I am leaning. I think that color is great all-around, especially in warmer areas. Thanks for posting the photos. -

Best USA Akubra dealer?
Just a question, if I may. I see many folks here who have ordered from EA and received their hats in short order. When I look at their website, all the hats I have any interest in show a 3 month delivery time. Is this just a "stock" answer for them, and availability is really better than... -

Akubra Overload
All my Akubras are the same size. However, when I receive them I have to do some shape-shifting to accommodate my long oval skull. Once that is done, they don't change, either by shrinking or by morphing back to their original rounder shape. I don't know if that is because of the additional... -

Akubra Heritage Series
Quick answer: What Fed said! Slightly longer answer: I have three felt Akubras, one is the Heritage Quality Lightning Ridge that David Morgan sells (exclusively, apparently). I wear it nearly every day and although I won't say that I "forget" that I have it on, it is so comfortable (after... -

Shantung "straw" hats
I have a Resistol shantung western style ("Big Spender") that looks nice and seems to be decent quality, but it makes my head sweat more than my felt hats. It even has vent holes in the sides. My felt hats just seem to breath better. I do not have the same issue with other "Panama" woven hats... -

Short answer: Just pick one you like. You really can't go wrong! :D Longer answer: The way I see it, Matt, you can't go wrong with any Akubra for standing up to the elements. It is more a matter of deciding how much "hat" you want. A higher crown and wider brim width is best for maximum... -

Hi, Pete. I just replied in your other thread, but I am very pleased with all three of my Akubras, including my Kiandra. See my other post for the details. -

New to customs - 2 quick ?s
I have four hats that had the conformateur treatment, 2 customs and two older Stetson western hats that were renovated using my head shape from the custom shop head shape file. All four of those hats fit better than any of my off the rack hats. I think it is very important if you have a... -

Akubra kiandra
Hello. I'm new around here, but this seems like as good a place to jump in as any. I have a Kiandra that I bought from David Morgan. I initially bought the Kiandra because it was available in Sand color and seemed to be (in photos) a good "middle of the road" hat. I would also describe it as...
