I recently ordered two Akubra Homburgs from Strand Hatters in Sydney. I've ordered Akubras multiple times from other Australian sellers: Hats by the Hundred, The Hattery, and Everything Australian (i.e., easily more than 4 orders from each, mostly multiple hats) - never an issue, but Strand...
No, they don’t and they haven’t for well over 4 months. You can’t order a taupe CampDraft from Everything Australian and they are not available at Hats by the Hundred either. David Morgan is supposed to start stocking them to replace the Bushman, but they will only have it in black and...
I can’t believe Akubra killed off the taupe color Campdraft - a great color. If I had known, I would have ordered 3 of them and stored them away. Other than going to a funeral or wearing black tie, can’t imagine ever wearing a black hat.
What type of clear vinyl material does Akubra use to line the top of their lined hats? I’m looking for a relatively technical description/ trademarked name. I’m thinking of buying it in sheets and would like to use it to line the underside of my leather sweat bands to prevent perspiration from...
I have a Selentino velour finish hat where the finish seems to have been crushed or matted down in a certain area. I’ve tried brushing to lift the nap, but it hasn’t helped much - can one apply steam to a velour finish hat, or will it mat down the finish? Any other suggestions for raising the...
Excuse my presumptuousness as a newbie, but I have read through many threads on this site regarding getting special order Akubras and I’m wondering why that seems to have stopped years ago. Has Akubra absolutely killed the idea? I would love to get a Federation IV in Fern Green (yes, I know...
The mid brown pictured is an Akubra/RM Williams - it comes pre bashed - got it about 2 weeks ago. With effort and steam, you could probably get into a dome and bash as you like. I’m not sure, other than being pre bashed that there is a material (any?) difference between it and a Campdraft. Reg...
For anyone interested, picture shows from left to right, mid brown RM Williams hat, cedar brown Campdraft, and burnt oak Fedora. Probably only useful to show the relative shades of brown, not the actual color.
That’s what I bought - tobacco colored, last one on sale at One 2 mini Ranch. It will be my first, and likely last, beaver hat - I am looking forward to seeing it.
Still waiting on delivery for 4 of the hats. Stetson is supposed to be delivered tomorrow - three Akubras waiting in customs in NY. I have always got them delivered before the tracking information ever said anything other than “waiting for clearance.” One has been waiting since Jan 4th...
Federation IV in Brown Imperial and in Brown Deluxe, Heritage in Tawny Fawn, Deluxe in Heritage Fawn, Fedora in Burnt Oak, then......because I’m obsessive about having extras of things I like, I bought an extra Federation IV in Brown Deluxe to store away (it’s a mental defect with me). That’s 5...
