True enough, but you cannot even find that on the official Akubra website. I just PM'd another member ("Roaring Days"), who has a Bogart in carbon grey and I asked him to post a photo or two of his hat on this thread when he gets a chance. He lives in Australia, so hopefully he will read and...
Good Evening, Edward.
Here is a link where the Bogart is sold, but there are no photo images of the hat in each color, or even of the hat itself, just a color panel that tells you what colors they come in. Akubra calls it a "carbon grey."...
I must confess. This is the first time I have seen a high school student in a fedora. Bravo Dinerman! This gives the lie to those who call the fedora an "old fogey's hat." I hope you start a trend among your generation! Thanks!
Akubra Bogart arrived today!
The fit and finish exude quality, although the felt is stiff. It has a nice edge brim and reminds me very much like the Stetson Sutley in size, shape and style. Oddly enough, while it fits my size 58 head, it is a tad tight along the sides and this surprised me...
Although both of my fedoras have a raw edge, as I read and learn, I am more inclined now to prefer a welted edge - under or overwelt - like the Stetson Whippet or Windham, Akubra Stylemaster, Bogart, etc. I have not been able to find a Stetson Whippet. Are they vintage or is Stetson still...
When browsing through the Stetson inventory, I noticed that they grade the quality of their fedoras, i.e., Imperial, Sovereign, etc. As a newbie, I do not know what these grades mean. Which one is considered the best to the lowest quality? Those names are a bit misleading because they all...
Does anyone know how the Stetson Windham differs from or compares to the Akubra Stylemaster or Bogart. All three are 2 1/5" bound edge brim and the crown heights are quite similar. Thanks.
Does anyone own either a Stetson Windham? I love the sharp design of this hat.
Brim: 2 1/2" snap with bound edge
Crown: 4" in front and 4 3/4" sides
Fur felt Sovereign quality
Price: $140
I suppose Jimmy Pierce can make the same model for the same price! If anyone has this one or any...
Thanks Mike in Seattle for the tip about how to insert a direct link photo image. I was wondering why all my images have the abbreviation IMG before and after them. Now I know how to do it right.
That is one handsome lid, Kiltie. By "Stetson Sovereign" do you mean Sovereign quality, like their Chatham and Temple models? I did a search for Stetson Sovereign and could only find those two styles. Which model/style and color do they call yours? I love it. Thanks.
Sorry, but I cannot as it has not yet arrived. I ordered it based on the recommendation by Mojave Jack (see Post #70 in this thread). I like the look of it too.
I gave up on trying to find twill tape and orderd a pugaree for $15.00 + $8.00 shipping from Australia.

You just order the same size pugaree as your hat and it will fit as a hat band. It takes 10-14...
Welcome to the Lounge John
And thanks for sharing your treasure trove with us...whatever your prices...we are mature enough to decide how much we can or want to spend on one of your hats.
:D How true! I have two long-haired Birman cats and they already have a fascination with my two brand new fur felt fedoras. So far I have been hanging them on a coat rack that is well beyond their reach, but I am looking for something that will hold more than two hats so I don't return home one...
