    I've been curious about why there is a small bow attached to the back of the sweatband inside my hats. Is this true?

    Akubra Campdraft Deluxe - Cedar Brown

    I just heard from Hats Direct that they have ordered a batch of Campdraft in Cedar Brown. It's a 2-3 month wait but I've put my order in. https://hatsdirect.com/

    Akubra Campdraft brown

    I'd like to get a mid to dark brown Campdraft style hat. Akubra doesn't make a CD in that colour. What other hats are similar to the CD and come in brown?

    Reshape brimming

    I want to reshape the brim of an Akubra Traveller so it's a but more fedora like. I've cut the brim down so it's 70mm wide (and no longer has the stiffening reed). I've got a bit of a curve in the brim but it's uneven, especially at the back. Any suggestions?

    How to bash a fedora so it doesn't look like a freshliy bashed fedora

    I don't think I'm alone here when I say I really like open crown hats. I enjoy giving my hats a personal touch. I've also rebashed most of my pre-creased hats at one time or another. I'm usually (eventually) happy with the result but they always look like freshly bashed hats. I have tried to...

    I think I'm indecisive, but I'm not sure...

    I have recently become an everyday hat wearer. Now that I am wearing hats daily I find that my taste in hats is changing. My first 'everyday hat' was an Akubra Hampton (Cedar Brown) which I wear with a suit during the week. I since picked up a fawn Hampton. Now I often think the Hampton is...

    New full time hat wearer - that self-conscious feeling

    I have done a lot of lurking on this forum and have asked a few questions and benefit a lot from your answers. So I felt that it was my turn to make a contribution. I have really liked hats for a long time. I have tried many on. Bought a few, sold some, bought more. I liked wearing hats when we...

    Reshaping an Akubra Federation IV

    I have decided to try a new bash in my Fed IV Deluxe. What's the best way to 'reset' the crown and take all the creases out so I can start again?

    How to sell a hat

    I have a couple of hats that I no longer wear. What's the most effective way to sell them? And what is a reasonable price expectation? These are current models, not vintage. Should I base it on a percentage of what the hat would cost new?
