    Akubra Overload

    It is an Akubra bowler. I got it from Strand Hatters, and it was one of the last two in my size! Wish Akubra still made them!

    I wore my bowler yesterday, and people said I looked like Winston Churchill!

    Akubra slouch hat

    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.

    Akubra slouch hat

    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.

    Akubra Overload

    The Territory is hard to beat when fishing in high desert reservoirs! You can wear that and never worry about sunburn.

    Need hat advice

    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.

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    I know it’s not a raccoon, but the Daniel Boone song runs through my head: Daniel Boone was a man! Yes a big man…

    The social hierarchy of hat styles

    I’m really self conscious how I look. I just feel like the bowler needs a suit, and I don’t have one.

    The social hierarchy of hat styles

    I understand wanting a top hat even if you don’t have a “need” for it! I bought an Akubra bowler for the same reason-and I haven’t worn it!

    Akubra Overload

    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...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    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.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Have you tried Strand Hatters? I’m in the process of receiving an Akubra Bowler for them.

    First Fur felt hat purchases, Akubras......

    Keep them. You’ll get more. I did, anyway! Get a Fed IV and a Campdraft of your choice. I think the black Snowy River is a good lookin’ hat!

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I was wearing my silverbelly Campdraft with a teardrop crown and front pinch bash. A kid who was five said I was wearing a sheriff’s hat!

    If you can, get both. Eventually I did, too.

    Songs That Mention Hats

    Has anyone mentioned "Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone" by Charlie Pride? Starts out that rain is dripping off the brim of his hat. It just comes quickly to mind!

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Well, I finally did it! I ordered a Fed IV in moonstone. They were out of the plain moonstone, so I ordered the deluxe. You guys are a bad influence!
