akubra

Hello fellow loungers. Earlier this year I received my first Akubra hat as a gift from a friend who no longer wears hats. I am this hat's second owner. My friend bought this hat in the mid-1980's for $130 Canadian Dollars in a hat shop in Quebec City which has since closed (price written on the...

Greetings everyone! Thought I'd post a review of my birthday hat for this year, the Akubra RAP. This is Akubra's take on the black pork pie: Hat has a 49mm brim with bound edge and a 100mm crown. Ribbon band is the standard Akubra type, 32mm. The bow is nicely tacked in all four corners to...

Selling my black Riverina. Its 7 1/8 crown (57mm) with a 4" brim. Hat is less then a year old. It's a great hat with no defects. I'm selling cause the wife got me a custom hat from Buckarooh hatters & I just don't need the hat any longer. I put a paracord band on it. I can't upload photos...

Can anyone point me to some information regarding techniques for sewing in a leather sweatband on both felt and straw (if there's a difference)? I haven't been able to find any instructional material and, although by looking at existing sweatbands, it looks like it's not rocket science, I just...

This is an update to the original review posted on the 5th of August 2016. It includes all the original text and fixes the broken image link issues that the original post had. The Akubra Zephyr in Fawn: I purchased this hat as an alternative to my 15 year old Panama which was...

Greetings everyone. I noticed that there is not at time of writing a dedicated review on this hat on this forum so thought I would post one: My Akubra Bogart in Carbon Grey: I've had this hat for about six months and really love it. It has a 64mm brim with bound edge, 38mm ribbon band, and...

Hello everyone, new member here. Have used this forum as a resource for many years but never posted before. Thought I'd start by posting a review of my Zephyr :) I purchased this hat as an alternative to my 15 year old Panama which was starting to show some wear and tear. I considered both...

This is my first post, so thanks in advance for your help and understanding for a newbie. I just bought a Brown Fed IV, which is my first (non-baseball cap) hat. I now want to buy a sedond hat, which would be more of a casual, everyday hat (yes, I know the Fed IV is versatile). I have...

I got an open crown Fed IV and I'm having a bit of trouble bashing it. Can I get it to look decent? Sure...but it doesn't stay, and it won't form exactly how I want it to. The pinches don't stay at all, and the point in the crown wont stay with as deep a "v" as I want in it. Not sure if it's...

Hi all - just signed up to this amazing forum! I recently purchased a Fed. IV Deluxe by Akubra - beautiful piece. I am leaving next Tuesday to spend 2 solid weeks in Cancun, Mexico. My concern: will this hat tolerate the extreme sun and heat from the Mexican sun? Having just purchased it I...

I just bought this hat from Everything Australian. It has been dry bashed a few times in my living room but never worn other than to try it on. Price is $130 shipped to your door (contiguous USA). Save yourself the wait and get this one. I will mail it right away. Not listed on Ebay. If nobody...
