FT: Akubra Snowy River sz 56 - for some other Akubra

[m0nk]

I recently (Monday) acquired an older Snowy River and am not 100% sold on the wider brim. It's in great shape, slightly stiff, but I don't see any issues. I'd like to see if anyone is interested in a trade for another Akubra model with a slightly shorter brim width. The Snowy River is 3 1/4". PM with questions. Thanks!!

Just the thing to wear down by the billabong.

Meant to mention that the color is tan... I think it's their sandtone fawn or something similar.

Hey neighbor. I don't know what exactly you're looking for, but I have a vintage Akubra Air stream, (lightweight). Color is sage green, I believe it's a 56. crown is 5", brim is 2 1/2" and it has a bound edge, 3/8".It is perforated beneath the ribbon, which is not grograin, but almost crochet like open weave, very unusual..it's why I bought it. The sweatband is brown leather and it's only an inch wide, and it's a little dry.

Sounds interesting. Do you happen to have any pics? Thanks!

Actually, found a couple of pics that I believe are yours:

Thanks, but not quite what I'm after. I'd like to try find a "country" style, but with less brim than the Snowy River. Something like the Angler or Stockman, or even another Bushman (my son inherited mine).

Bump. Anyone else possibly interested in trading for the Snowy River? Thanks!

PM me your email. I cant find those pics, so I need to snap a few more. Since photobucket has changed, I cant retrieve my old pics.
