Thanks for the suggestions on stiffening products. I ended up getting a bottle of Kahl Hat Stiffener. And it works great! Also got a reply from the folks at Rand, in response to asking them what they suggested, and they recommended the same product. I gave the hat 3 applications with proper... -

The Four Points Silverbelly 20X Rand... Made a quick run to the local big box DIY store yesterday for some gardening supplies and, since the weather was tolerable for a change, thought I'd leave the baseball cap at home and wear this. In the garden center I heard a woman yell out "I LOVE... -

Akubra Territory - any thoughts on it?
I have a Territory and a Snowy River and use to have a Cattleman. When I work outside during appropriate felt hat weather I always wear the Territory. I added a kangaroo leather stampede strap to mine and use it regularly. I sold the Cattleman since it was too narrow brimmed for me. If I...
