Akubra Overload
I know you've expressed concerns in regard to the crown height of the Bushman. I'm curious to see how you will like it. -
Snakeskin Hat Bands
Wow, that band belongs on that hat. And the finished combination is a show-stopper. Great vision and execution! -
Akubra Overload
Lovely family! And those are some fine "hat stands" in the pic as well. Very nice. -

I heartily endorse Brent's advice about looking at lots of pictures of hats, and how they sit on a person's head. My tastes have changed too, and time spent on this site probably has something to do with that. I've found that I'm drawn to, and most comfortable in, hats that I wasn't even... -
What hat are you waiting for today?
Yes, a perfectly-fitting size 58 arrived last Friday. That is weird that they would purposely ship an incorrect size. -

My favorite kind of box arrived today. Within is my Cedar Brown Campdraft. 5 days shipping from Australia to the Pacific NW. Included were the usual nice touches: hat-shaping instructions, foam strips for sizing, and the hand-written note from the amazing hat ladies. (They're right about... -

Go to the Hats Direct website and click on the envelope icon in the black bar at the top of the page. I'm always specific in my emails in regard to the model, size, and color of hat that I'm seeking. I receive a reply in a day or less. -

What hat are you waiting for today?
Way back at the end of February this year I mentioned I might acquire an Akubra Campdraft in the only color I don't have: Cedar Brown. Frunobulax was kind enough to prod me along with a pic of his Cedar Brown CD, and that photo actually tipped my decision. (If I could figure out how to link... -

Akubra Overload
I have shaped the brim of two Bushman hats and a few Camp Drafts, using distilled water from a spray-bottle. In most cases I was pulling the front of the brim down just a bit more than the flange offered in the snapped-down position. But for one Bushman I also needed to work some serious wonk... -
Akubra Overload
On June 11, 2020 I sent an inquiry to The Hattery in regard to the status of the Squatter. Trudi got right back to me with this... "Please don’t order the Squatter yet as it has not been included on the list of hats that Akubra are starting to re make. I have put a note on our Squatter page to... -
Post New Hats Here!
o_O Wow. I keep coming back to look at this one. And it's my size. -
Akubra R.M.Williams "RM" Hat/ Akubra Fed iv
That is some serious downward swoop, Brent. I've been known to shape a brim downward to my liking, but that profile shot illustrates your point. Easily overlooking such minor details, it is clear that you have yourself another darn fine looking hat. -
Show us their hats!
That black one sure looks sharp! Is that your Hampton? -

Western, anyone?
I love that bow/ribbon nestled around the base of that gorgeous crown. Those colors really sing. -
Snakeskin Hat Bands
Changing times, indeed! My father went to school in a one-room building that taught all 12 grades. He used to describe how most of the boys in attendance brought rifles, and stacked them in the corner of the schoolroom during lessons. It was simply a need: they were in charge of killing game... -
Post New Hats Here!
Those pics left me nearly speechless for a moment. That... is a crying shame. -
Akubra Overload
Thanks for posting that! It sure looks like a nice hat. I'm waiting for the standard Squatter to come back in-stock in my size. Seems like a hat for me. -
How do folks react to your hat wearing?
He's a high-energy guy. I was left in stunned silence staring slack-jawed at a cloud of dust where my co-worker used to be. Here is an interesting coda to my post above... It has been made very clear to me over the course of my first week in this workspace that I am flat-out encouraged to...
