Yes I agree. Work is based in South Hobart which is still very much a village in feel and if I head to the shop hatless I am asked did I leave it behind and they look forward to seeing them.
Tomorrow I will post a picture of a hat I like but do not “own”.
Pure ChatGPT. It is actually quite astute and picks up things. I take a picture of my outfits and ask it to review and rate them. It commented something look good but an expresso grenadine silk tie would make it pop. Ok as fate would have it a Japanese person running an accessory business...
Ok. Still learning and good to know. I have found an excellent hat maker in Melbourne so have had two hats made but in 100% western weight beaver. Looking to expand my style range. The trick I find is “owning” the look. I have a fantastic remote Queensland country style hat bit similar to a...

I am seeking some great hats...
Bonus was got it from a proper country outfitter at country prices rather than with paying boutique price premium. Have to love Akubra has dealt with the same country stores for getting close to a century and has not worked them over as the many new owners of R&M Williams have.
Of the three...
It is amazing what a little customisation can make on a hat. Manufacturers tend to be conservative in their colour choices. With the Melbourne based custom hat maker I asked him to give me options ranging from safe to out on the edge then pick what suits me and my collection of garments. Been...
I love the different styles and twists different countries bring. Also hidden manufacturers that might be well known locally but missed internationally.
I have a friend that is very economical so hunts his hats from flea markets and showed me his Stenson made in Australia. Of course it was a...
