I do like a good porkpie. That one has a nice classic shape and dimensions. Please give us a review when it comes in. I know I would like to hear about it.

The shape of your head has a big impact on the shape of the brim. I have a long oval head shape so I will never have a flat brimmed hat. They will always want to dip down in the front and back.
With that said you can manhandle your hat into more of that cowboy curl look. You just have to...
Had to rework the kids swimming pool today. Gravel shifted underneath it. So I Indian pith helmet to start the day.
Took a lunch break inside to recover and watched in episode of Magnum PI so got inspired to wear my New Era ball cap. I know it should be the Tigers but I just got to represent...
Got a buddy that drove truck that used a similar style of hat when loading and unloading. Served him for years.
Wear it in good health my friend

My blue Smoke from Art. Over 10 years of mileage on it. You can see how different the colour looks between full sun and shade. In the shade this felt developed a purple Hugh over the years as well. I love it but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea,
Lighting makes most of the pictures look light and a few darker. Have you looked at the Akubra Federation in Moonstone? I don’t know if it will be too light a colour. I don’t personally own one myself

Good day Brian.
First of all, welcome to the lounge and congratulations on buying your first Akubra. I personally own two Down Under models and I find them to be fantastic hats.
Second. Congratulations on re-shaping the crown. Not an easy task to get rid of the “ghost lines” from a previous...
After wearing a brown Federation for about 20 years and various beige Akubras I am still not sure how I feel about the Carbon Grey Squatter. It’s only been about a month. I wonder if it will grow on me. Or I should just try and stiffen the federation,
Or save up and buy a new one.
