I love the Fed IV!!
I just took delivery of the Akubra Rough Rider in Loden to go with my Tablelands in Brown Olive and my Blue Mountains in Bluegrass thanks to all of the encouragement here. Coming next will be the Fed IV deluxe. I see that the site says 1930s Shape Specs: Brim: Dipped Front with Raised Back &... -

Akubra Overload
Ah, someone else who spells favourite the same way as I was taught! Tough to say. Tablelands was my first and I fitted it with the chin strap. It got most of the use specially on windy days until I got the wider brimmed Blue Mountains (while I am born and raised in Africa I have very fair skin)... -

My collection is beginning to grow. I just took delivery of the Akubra Rough Rider in Loden to go with my Tablelands in Brown Olive and my Blue Mountains in Bluegrass. There may even be a Federation IV coming soon too. Up until now I have been using old mesh routers to balance the hats on and... -

I love the Fed IV!!
Greetings all. I have two Akubras - Blue Mountains in Bluegrass and the Tablelands in Brown Olive, size 59 (7 1/4). This whole quest started a few years ago after watching the Justified series. I have a fairly narrow face and hesitated before getting the larger Blue Mountains after already... -

After lots of great advise here helping me choose my first Akubra, I just received my second one. I did a quick writeup here https://www.fortvic.com/2021/11/27/the-hattery/ -

My new customized Honey Badger ball bearing flipper. White scales, red back spacer with black screws and pocket clip. I think it complements my Akubra Tablelands nicely!- Streak

Akubra Overload
Thanks for your input. Today I kept the hat on for a number of hours doing some yard work etc. Maybe I am imagining it but I am already feeling a difference and that's without the foam inserts. Not sure if I am ready for the hat to be my fashion statement yet to the extent that it goes... -

Akubra Overload
Thanks @johnnycanuck and @Zombie_61 So it seems that there is more than one way of doing this. I took the foam out and it does not feel like the hat will blow off my head even though it's slightly too big so I will leave it out for now. I guess I am slightly long oval. If I put slight pressure... -

@Zombie_61 I See that you have commented previously about breaking your Akubras. My Tablelands is a touch too big. I put the felt strips in on both side and sits snugly on my head now. The problem is that the shape does not match the shape of my head with a little too much space on the sides... -

During my decision process I sent many emails to The Hattery they sent me the crown heights of every hat I was considering. Send them an email with your inquiry, I am sure they can help. -

Thanks I am really happy with it. I just took this photo indoors with natural light through the window. Amazing how the color changes. Doesn't look like the same hat. -

Akubra Overload
Well after what seems to have been an eternity (order first placed with EA in December) I eventually have my first Akubra. This is the Tablelands in Brown Olive. It's marginally big but The Hattery kindly included some foam which once inserted did the trick. It suits me a whole lot better than... -

Akubra Overload
After each 3 week delay we were told that there was another 3 week delay. After the latest one and being told that they may only have the hat in hand mid March we cancelled the order and received a refund. For an extra USD20 (including hat, chin strap and shipping) we placed the order with the...
