Glad you're enjoying the BG, Sam -- and you will love the silverbelly. It's the one I wouldn't give up ;)
Seriously, I think it's my favorite Akubra (neck and neck with my brown Fed III), probably why it's the only one so far to have its name worn off the sweatband.
I love my Akubras and wear them for dress and casual. I'd say my moonstone Fed IV is my "dressiest" Akubra and is my most frequent choice with suits, along with my carbon grey and acorn fawn Stylemasters, which are frequent daily business wear for me and look great with my Burberry trench. I've...
I was recently wearing my silverbelly Akubra CD in a parking garage with a low ceiling and didn't duck quite low enough to clear an overhead pipe, resulting in a rusty smudge down one side of the crown starting at the pinch. A few good swipes with a stiff brush has rendered the blemish about 99...
It's a "large." Snug? Ehhhh ... a bit tighter than my true 7 1/2's but not uncomfortably so. But if you're on the bigger end of the size, as your request for a 60 or 61 would indicate, it's probably a bit smaller than you need.
This hat of mine is still available: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?57700-FS-Bailey-Fedora-size-large
I passed on the first offer due to my preference for a US buyer; second offer did not follow through ...
Simon: I would have to determine size and weight of the final shipping package, but initial research suggests it would cost between $15 and $30 for international first-class mail. I'm thinking that makes buying locally a better deal for you, but I'll let you decide that.
Thanks,
Jim
Selling my Bailey Fedora -- yes, this model is just called the Fedora. Wool felt, unlined, size large (I take a 7 3/8 to 7 1/2, and this is just a tad snug on me). It's a rich brown with a wide ribbon -- I think it has a great vintage look to it. Brim's about 2 3/4". Crushable, water repellant...
I'm selling my Bailey Spencer straw fedora that I bought on a whim in Vegas a couple years ago. It's a rich, reddish, chocolate brown with a black ribbon -- nice, but doesn't really go with what I usually wear. It's a large; I wear between 7 3/8 and 7 1/2, and it's just a bit snug on me. Worn...
Nope, nothing from that island south of Miami ... here is a preliminary list; I expect to be adding to it periodically ...
