That would be funny! I hope you greeted them in Japanese!
I bet you do get a lot of attention; especially in rural areas! Akubras are nice hats. I’ve been to stores where the salesmen told me that they have nice hats. They turn out to be wool felt, unlined and not nearly as nice as my Akubras!
I enjoyed watching the Black List! Even though I thought Ray Redington was nattily dressed, his fedoras seemed like they needed more brim. I have found that as I’ve worn my fedoras my style in clothes has increased. Maybe you’ll find this to be the case.
Sorry I didn’t notice this sooner! My hat didn’t have a liner, and my wonderful daughter bought it for me last Christmas! I did, however, tell her where to get it.
I really like mine. It’s charcoal gray. I shaped it into a fedora, and I’ve gotten many compliments on it! It does say Superfine Quality, but I don’t know I don’t know if it refers to the type of felt.
You’ll be ok. I’ve never had someone say anything negative to me. Oddly, since I’ve started wearing real hats, my clothes have gotten better; I seldom wear t shirts, and a fedora looks good with a long sleeve button down shirt and jeans.
Hmm...I don’t think any of the sweatbands on my Akubras did that. I’ve read that in Australia a lot of the working hats Akubra makes have no liners. I’m sure on a town hat, like the Adventurer, would have a liner. I would imagine a liner keeps the hat from getting grungy from someone’s greasy...
I think it’s interesting that people will buy a pair of shoes that la
I find it remarkable that people will buy a pair of basketball shoes for $2-300 that will last a year, but won’t buy a high quality hat for $150. They’re shocked to find that you’ll have to pay that much.
