love them both! Banner day!The postman rang twice today! First with a heritage grade Banjo Paterson, then with a lovely old Dobbs back bow. The sellers pic of the Dobbs looked tan, but in person it is almost dove with a maroon ribbon.
Nice looking stiff felt Moe! I'll check out the details on the other thread.Might as well put a pic or two of this Mossant here.
More details in French Hats and Makers, and in the Bowler or Derby Hat threads.

Joe, don't know how I missed this till now. I really like the BP. I think you'll like it as a casual, go anywhere hat.The postman rang twice today!

Dude!!!!!I had a nice surprise today. After I got home we decided to let the kids open a few presents. Aftrrwards, I went on the front porch to turn the Christmas lights on and I had a present from Moon stuck in the corner! (It still counts as a present even though I bought it for myself right?!)

I couldn't agree more. That hat looks perfectly at home on your head Ryan.
I need to go there.
You are so right!! That ribbon and really the whole hat are stand up killer!!!!! Looks GREAT on you too!!!!!
Well, you know the sentence for that, don't you? Now you have to send that hat to someone else so they can post it as their new hat.
This is my fear of going with an Akubra. For just a few (a C note) dollars more I can get a bespoke hat from Gannon or NW Hats. What is the best investment for the long term?this Cedar Brown CD showed up yesterday .
as I expected it is typical Akubra less than mediocre construction completely unimpressive hat....
It is hard as a rock and stiff as a board.
The flanging is awful
It has the famous toliker line on the brim that Akubra for some reason cannot get figured out and frankly doesn't seem to care to.
It looks to have been pounced by a child.
The color is somewhat patchy.
All of this just further solidified my opinion of Akubra hats that they are highly overrated poorly made hats made of very mediocre materials.
I should have known better but I figured I would give them one more chance... I wasted my money.
Can't say I'm disappointed because I sort of expected this... but this hat is in no way worth what I spent on it.
I know Akubra gets very hyped here and I respect those who swear by them... but this hat is a costume hat at best

It is truly a shame......LOOKS like a great open road clone.......boy can I appreciate the "hard as a rock...stiff as a board" situation. I recently got burned on a new 'Royal Deluxe" Whippet that arrived the same way.....costume for sure.....this Cedar Brown CD showed up yesterday .

The Akubra RM hat is really nice felt as well. My cedar brown had the wrong postal code listed on my address and is languishing in the USPO in Midland, Texas.
