Mine won't be a surprise for anyone following the Akubra Overload thread, but as of today I'm waiting for an Akubra "Lightning Ridge", in Sand color. It has shipped and should get to me in just a couple days. :)

In addition, I'm waiting for a couple of 7-fold puggarees from Lawrance Ordnance. Coming from Australia, those will take much longer to get to me.

Thanks Bowen,
I was trying to work up specs. to commission a custom hat based roughly on some Vintage Borsalinos. In shopping around and through discussions on TFL I decided to go with the Stetson New York which was very similar to the specs. I had decided on. I spoke with Rick @humanshoes about making a custom hat, and asked for his recommendations based on my current collection, and taking into account my obsession with leather jackets. He recommended his Arizona and the more I studied Dress Western hats the more I liked the idea. I have a few months wait and nothing is decided as far as color, but I like Rick's sensibilities, and value your input as well. I hope to learn more about this hat as DH has one in the works ahead of me.

Peace

David
