SOLD: AKUBRA ROUGH RIDER western hat - open crown - size 58 (7-1/4) - Rarely Worn! $80 (including US shipping)
The Rough Rider in Akubra's new bran color (a classy medium tan -- not too light, not too dark) comes with a reeded roan leather sweatband, satin liner and cut-edge brim. Made in Australia from Akubra's Imperial Quality pure rabbit-fur felt -- durable and water-resistant. The plaited horse hair hat band with two tassels has been detached but fits snugly, so you can leave it on or replace it with your own hat band.
Specs: I trimmed the brim to 3-3/8", with a slight side curl and front dip -- wide enough to give great sun protection (rated at UPF+50 protection). I also took the original cattleman crown and blocked it out to an open crown, 5.5" high, tall enough for you to shape in the western style of your choice. Or, if you purchase the hat and would like me to crease the crown for you, just send me some good photos of the style you'd like.
I've only worn this hat 2 or 3 times -- after buying it, I realized I have too many hats and only one head! So it's time to thin the herd, letting this nearly-unworn hat go at a bargain price. Online prices for the Rough Rider from Australian hat shops range from $125 to $160 USD (with shipping). This great hat can be yours for $80 (including shipping via USPS Parcel Select, continental US only).
A note about sizing: If you already own quality fur-felt hats, you probably know your head size. If not, please measure your head carefully (see head-measurement guide among the photos). Good fur-felt hats can be stretched slightly to your head size and shape; if a hat is a bit too large, you can insert some padding inside the leather sweatband.
Sold as is. Please check the photos and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
