Akubra Riverina Owners
You are correct, mine has about a 2 3/4 brim. That bigger brim does look good though...maybe I'll extend my 2 Akubra streak and find a newer version too! Not holding my breath but I can hope! I could use another band for that Cattleman and not looking to pay DM prices, any thoughts? Not sure... -

Akubra Riverina Owners
Reviving an old thread because I now have a new-to-me like-new Riverina. An "older" one, apparently. Green with a bound edge and a double plaited kangaroo band, white satin liner with plastic. Sweet lid!!! I've had some Akubra luck lately as I also got a used Cattleman 2 weeks ago. Very light... -

Thanks, Lean'n'mean, I appreciate it. I will check out Bushcraft Forums as you suggested. -

Thanks but again, it's not the same band. The vines and leaves are narrower & smaller, it's lighter in color and no vertical lines. -

I'd love to have a little fuller shot of #5 for my desk at work! -

Thanks, Jared. I thought I had replied in the other threads but I've been crazy busy. That band isn't bad looking but it's not close to screen accurate. The one that Desert Dan posted is close but it was a one off by a friend of a blogger somewhere. I appreciate the effort from both of you... -

Thank you. It is black leather, yes, but it has a distinct pattern that I like very much and I think is iconic and essential to the hat. The hat that I bashed looks a good deal like the movie hat but the band looks nothing like it and it makes a huge difference. Especially when my hat doesn't... -

III. The Man With No Name hat. This is fantastic western hat. It's almost as iconic as the Indiana Jones hat, but representing the western, rather than the traditional adventure genre. I recently bought a Wrangler hat by Miller Bros. that I've bashed into a Man With No Name Hat because... -

And for a double-dip...I bought a super soft, very floppy hat at the flea market today and wonder if anyone knows anything about the maker, etc. as I can't dig up anything online or within the Lounge. It's identical to this only in black and is in the same brand new condition... -

As a follow up on my question about Wrangler Hats by Miller Bros., the hat has "5X BEAVER" stamped on the sweatband. Not surprisingly, it's pretty stiff but not nearly as cardboard feeling as some modern day Stetsons that I've tried on. But hair is clearly seen and it's not unlike a Stratton... -

Thanks, RBH. I guess I'll just have to wait for it to come in and see what it's like. Vladdt, with the size of the brim, the stitching on the brim, the crushed crown, and English mod-styles of the period, I'd guess it was probably a ladies over-sized fashion hat similar to what is worn to... -

Good day, boys! Anyone have any info on Miller Bros. line of Wrangler (same logo as the jeans) hats from the late 70's/early 80's? I have only spotted a few online and I saw one picture claiming at least one hat from the line was a 5X fur felt. I recently purchased one online that looks like... -

Sweet, thanks again! We'll see how it goes. I saw some interesting bashes of that hat online so I hope it fits and I can get it at a good price. -

So I think I read here that Akubra hats tend to run a bit small. Can anyone attest to that? I found Kiandra model for sale semi-locally but if there's no chance it will fit my 58.5 dome with a little work then I don't want to bother the seller and waste his/her time or mine. Thanks! -

Post New Hats Here!
I'm pretty stoked to get my 1984 Stetson Indiana Jones fedora delivered tomorrow that I scored online. It's Caribou with the black band, like new condition with original box, tags and pin. Until I can truly afford an Adventurebilt, this will do. I went to the closest hat shop over the weekend... -

Beautiful, thanks guys for the words and the links. The vids make it look far easier than I imagined. I think I'm going to go Akubra (as much as I want an Adventurebilt) and I'm thinking of the Imperial instead of the Deluxe as I want to get a brown and a black because I wear black way more... -

So since the Akubra Federation IV came up and as I mentioned, I'm green for the most part...how does one bash an open crown hat into the Indy shape or any other for that matter? And thank you for the hat/face chart link!
