    Something new at the Hattery, The Banjo Paterson and the Leisure Time in a limited run of Fern. I am so tempted but already have hats I don't wear as I always grab one of my Fed IV's. Sorry if this is posted some where already as I haven't been keeping up lately...

    I have a habit of wearing my newest hat all the time, which is my Fed IV Deluxe in Brown. But today I choose to wear a hat I haven't worn in awhile. Its the Akubra Kiandra, It's probably my most western looking felt that I have and today I could see that it gets a lot of looks that may be...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I finally got to wear my new Fed IV for the first time today. The felt is a lot stiffer then my Heritage Fawn Fed IV Deluxe but I'm sure it will soften up in time.

    The Angler is a great hat. Many years ago I called a shop in Toronto looking for the Angler and the guy said they had the Angler in stock and to come on down. When I got there this is the Angler he had. It is an Angler but with a different name and hat band. I still bought it and like it but it...

    My new Fed IV, now I just have to bash it. I am a fan of the Indiana Jones movies but I always avoided the brown Fed because I don't want to look like I'm wearing a Fedora to be Indiana Jones. I guess it doesn't matter how I shape it, people will still see the that famous hat. Oh well, my F tank...

    My birthday is in June so my wife told me to order myself a new hat. I wanted the Dark Brown Fed IV Deluxe so I kept checking the Hattery but as you probably know Akubra hats are hard to get right now. I reached out to the Hattery in April asking when they expected any new Fed's and I was told...

    Love the Fed IV Deluxe in the Heritage Fawn, I also have the Tawny Fawn but I'm considering another in Dark Brown.

    Akubra Angler in Loden. I like the red liner and the shark tooth that must have come from a Great white.

    My Akubra Tracker, It's the Angler with a different band and name. This hat is a great color, more green to it then the pictures show.

    I like the hat band on the Snowy River, it sure stands out on that color.

    Thanks for the advice , I haven't worn that Stockman in years and I don't know when I will again so I will just keep it the way it is. I just wanted to tell the story of how little I knew back then and I don't know if the store owner was just trying to sell me a hat that didn't fit or really...

    Many years ago I made a comment to my Dad who was in woodworking that I needed something to keep in my hats to prevent them from getting tight and we used some solder to wrap around my head and I used that to draw a template of my head size and shape. A few days later he came by with 10 of...

    When I first got the hat I brought it to the Hatter, a hat shop in Toronto and they used the heated hat stretcher. Now I just throw in the hat jack and leave it in there when I don't need it for any other hat. The hat jack works well but it still gets tight and I just don't like a tight hat. Do...
