Thought I would offer my first post after much research, reading and veiwing on this great forum. I was in the market for a new Akubra and came across the Adventurer from David Morgan (DM to you guys). Tried getting this hat here in Australia and nothing doing so after much angst I decided to put my order in. Ordered on the Thursday and had the hat in my hot little hand the following Monday - this from one WA to another WA (Washington State to Western Australia) - unbelievable time!!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap
Any hoo, the hat was brilliant, tho' is a size 61 (I have a large noggin) and the brim looked too large. Now I swore that I would not trim my brim, however after researching the forum and many other great sources, I decided to take off around 0.5cm (between 1/4 and 1/8 inch).
I will post some pickies soon of the finished product, however it changed the persona of the hat completely and now I love it - cannot keep my eyes off it and are looking for excuses to put it on and go out in it - much to my wifes chagrin.
Cheers on a top forum.
