Akubra cattleman, before and after

An amazing comparison. Once brand new. Now
unrecognizable. I guess that's what the Outback
life does to a hat.

I love a hat with stories. I can imagine that one has a LOT of them!

I have read that cowboys would use their
Stetsons as oven mitts to remove a hot
pot of coffee from the flames of a camp
fire. It would be interesting to see such
American hats tatttered by buckaroos in
the American west.
