Thanks Ingineer. Akubra's are easy for be to get, being that I'm in Australia. I've got a silverbelly CD and one in BGG on order. I also have the Akubra RM hat which is pretty much a mid brown CD with a slightly higher crown. I think part of the appeal of Stetson is that they are hard to get...

Thanks. But you realise more options isn't really helping me narrow down my choice?

I think they will put it online once it's in stock.
Trudi told me that it's the same colour as the Cedar Brown Hampton
