    Akubra Coober Pedy size 59 For Sale

    I have an Akubra Coober Pedy that my Dad bought back in 1995. I inherited it the next year and wear it occasionally during the winter. It's like new and a great hat, but it spends 99% of the time on the shelf, and it's time it went to someone who will give it the use it deserves. So it's for...
