    Akubra Cattleman

    Great thread. I want to buy an Akubra cattleman but right now shipping is tough from Australia. However, I found a U.S. retailer that sells them, but they have a lining and a chin strap hole?

    I recently looked at the Akubra Cattleman sold by a retailer in the U.S.. It is lined and has a small hole just above the hatband, lower than the 3 vent holes above.

    Hanna Flat Cap-Sewn vs Snap Bill Pics?

    Now I'm thinking about cutting the three stitches that attaches the hat to the brim, if that will give me a little more roominess? Any ideas about that, I don't want to ruin the hat. Thanks.

    Hanna Flat Cap-Sewn vs Snap Bill Pics?

    I recently purchased a patchwork 100% wool cap from Ireland-Mucros weavers. I ordered the size small as their hat sizing guide recommended for a 56-57cm. The hat's brim is sewn and the hat is very shallow, can only pull it down so far. If I shake my head the cap falls off. The cost of returning...
