    The Cap Faction

    I'm a fan of the Hanna Vintage caps, but I like a tad more brim. The Hanna Daithi seems to fit the "bill." Anyone have a Daithi, with pics?

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    I've had the Coober Pedy for about 6 weeks and let me tell you, I really like it. It has great coverage from the sun and rain/snow (of which we've had a bit recently). While there's no question it would be on the warm side with temps above 70, I may still be able to push it a bit more than other...

    That's my plan. I think I'll find something suitable.

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    Change of course... This hat I received fits great and is beautiful. I'm keeping this one. Hats from Everything Australian are 4-8 weeks out and I choose not to wait. So I'll hunt for a custom hat band (or at least a hat band I like) and personalize my hat in hand... I'll look for a nice...

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    Thank you! I'm really keen on the Moss too! I think I need to see it in person, but I suspect it is a very versatile color. I have no doubt that I will order it (either new or used) soon.

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    Well, I received my Coober Pedy in Santone from David Morgan today; it's an exquisite hat! But it's got the tone on tone ribbon and now that I've seen it in person, I realize how important the kangaroo band and opal are (or at least a leather band of some sort). But my goodness, what a fit...

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    I may do exactly this. My hat is supposed to arrive tomorrow, but if I want the kangaroo band and opal (and a different color, namely black) I have to go through HD or EA. How long does shipping usually take from AUS? Just read "Leaves warehouse in 6 months (made to order)" from Everything...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    This is music to my head. I've long wanted an Akubra for just this use case. I've read enough to know they are sturdy hats, and I've wanted a quality fur felt that I "felt" I could use the old fashioned way. Incidentally, this thread is just one reason I love the Fedora Lounge...

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    I ordered the Santone Fawn from David Morgan. It was supposed to arrive yesterday but the USPS is playing with my hat emotions. :D The David Morgan version has a ribbon band. Do you have to order from Akubra direct to get the kangaroo band with the opal? (aside from finding one for sale used)...

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    I agree- opal is the way to go. That said, DM doesn't seem to have the opal band. May have to add myself. Thanks for the details!

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    That is a sharp crease! Really nice.

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    I was very close to ordering what David Morgan calls Moss green (I think that's the same as Bluegrass). It's a sharp color which I'm sure varies a bit in different light. Thanks for the consideration on your 7-5/8!

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    Do you wear this in the summer? I generally run too warm to wear felt in the summer, but a felt Akubra seems to be a standard "uniform" for folks in Australia, even in the hot months. Also, I don't think the version from David Morgan comes with the leather band and opal, but rather the half...

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    The Cattleman is a fine Akubra, but I prefer the crease of the Coober Pedy.

    Thank you. I'm a 59 (7 3/8) in my Stetsons.

    Akubra Coober Pedy colors

    I’ve long considered Akubra for everyday, 3+ season utility wear. I think I’ve decided upon the Coober Pedy. Santone Fawn seems the most “versatile,” but Moss looks appealing. Also, is Graphite available in the domestic US? David Morgan only sells the Fawn and Moss, and it seems Black and...

    Open Road crown reshape

    If I want to share a few images of another re-shaped hat, what is the appropriate forum to do so?

    Open Road crown reshape

    I appreciate that. I'd worked a couple palm leaf hats to gin up the courage. I agree- you've just got to get over the hump, recognizing that these hats can take quite a bit. I've got another Open Road Royal Deluxe in Sage, and two Stetson Skyline's up next.

    Thank you! I really appreciate this info! I thought I had seen this crown somewhere but couldn’t put my finger on it. The Lounge delivers again!

    Crown is growing on me but I have plenty to explore.
