Akubra claims to make over 100 different models of hats, but if you go to Akubra's website you won't see nearly that many different ones. They make a lot of limited edition hats or hats that are exclusive to certain vendors.

This Swing appears to be exclusive to Strand.
The Federation hats are exclusive to The Hattery/Hatsdirect.com.
David Morgan has exclusives on the Sydney, the Adventurer, and his own versions of the Squatter and the Bushman, which has an exclusive color, Nullarbor Tan.
RM Williams has their own Akubra, which looks like a Campdraft with an exclusive factory bash, and maybe a special color as well.

I am sure there are many, many more.

Jimmy the Lid compared his RM Wms to RBH's Campdraft in Monteagle this weekend & the brim is larger on the RM & I'm pretty sure the crown is higher too. It is close with the ribbon & edge binding but seems to be a different hat.
