Yep Michaelshane, your church there looks about as deserted as most of ours here!
But we are an irreligious lot Down Under.
(Fantastic photo by the way).

It's also right in the middle of the city. I'd call ahead so he can order one in for you.
Dunn & Co
Today it's the vintage (40s/50s) English Dunn & Co. I tend to keep this one for casual use. Rusty will be pleased to see that the English favoured a thin ribbon on this one.
Yep Randy, this was my first Champ and that felt gave me a great respect for the brand. When you consider that Champ was generally a cheaper hat than the equivalent Stetsons, they sacrificed none of the quality to do it.
Fabulous lid Randy. It looks the spitting image of mine, though mine is sans feather. Great to see you have the original pin too.
Mine has a centre dent which gives the crown a little lift and works for me. It's one of my favourite stingies.
Miss Bella! I was just privately lamenting the absence of ladies in the Bar of late. Good to see you. Let me buy you a drink.
All the very best with the CA Bar. Having had a look at their advertising standards I'm thinking the section on ethics won't be too taxing.
Sorry xwray, I thought you asked an appropriate hat for a Texan. I suggested Shudde Bros as they have a longer Texas pedigree than Stetson (in terms of manufacture). They won't sell Akubras, but they have always made great quality hats.
As for this hat, elvis, give Rosie a call (she's not too far from you) and she'll make one for you. She generally charges around $300 for a bespoke lid. I'm not sure if that applies to a modified A-koo-bra (say it with me) like Mr Jackman's.
