Hello all;
Would anyone have any photos and info on an Akubra Planter? Especially the crown height, and overall fit. I know the bound brim is about three inches. I'm looking for a good outdoor straw for the summer, one that would be very versatile for work and recreation. Any thoughts?
Thanks everyone!

Received it very quickly!

Placed my order (anyway) for an Akubra Planter based on all the responses I received following my inquiry here.
I ordered it from HatsDirect, and they had it in stock, shipped it directly, and it arrived in yesterday's mail.
This is truly a hat for all-around summer wear! Very stylish with a stiff, lower crown. The brim is roughly 3.1" (79mm) and bound. Somewhat like the Akubra Byron, but the brim turns upwards slightly and a thinner ribbon. The hat feels very light and is ventilated and very airy.
Complete with a leather sweatband with the Akubra markings inside. It will be a pleasure to wear.

HatsDirect is a great company to deal with, by the way.
Thanks for all the answers and info!
