What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Day two at the rugby 7s. Envious of all the snow, although it is only 32c today. The hat is an old Wrangler Jhonson.- ADHD librarian

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Playing rugby at the Hottest 7s In The World today. 33 celsius, 57% humidity in Darwin. So it is the Akubra Hayman to keep the sun off, and let the heat out, between games.- ADHD librarian

Ask a question, get an answer
The Akubras definitely shrink a size with time (my stylemaster probably lost a bit more than a size over its life). So, if you are able to contact the supplier and amend your order it would be a good idea. You can always pad the band if it is too big, there is not a lot you can do if it is too...- ADHD librarian

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Not every task is suited for a fur felt, so I've pulled out a hat from a German manufacturer. The Edelrid Ultralight in polypropylene (mine is a 1999 vintage). It came in blue and red, but I chose the stylish basic white (newer models also come in orange and black) This being the lounge, I must...- ADHD librarian

Akubra Overload
I think I might take issue with the claim of abuse. The Akubra is traditionally the hat of the Australian man on the land & this one has done its job (and been retired). A drive through any Australian country town will see plenty of hats not dissimilar to this. The wear on the crown comes from...- ADHD librarian

Spent the day in Sydney, the photo is at the Museum of Contemporary Art. I happen to think my Fed Deluxe is a piece of contemporary art & the photo is my evidence. Sent from my GT-I9210T using Tapatalk- ADHD librarian

Akubra Overload
I'm currently visiting my father and thought the lounge would like a look at his cattleman, worn for many years on the tractor. Sent from my GT-I9210T using Tapatalk- ADHD librarian

I posted about my purchase of a (long coveted) Fed Deluxe on the new hat thread, but given that I have now bashed it and am wearing it I thought I'd post post-bash photos here. Loving that new hat smell! Sent from my GT-I9210T using Tapatalk- ADHD librarian

Post New Hats Here!
I was driving through Katoomba today, so had to stop for breakfast at the cafe next to the Hattery. And, being there I had to pop into the Hattery and look at hats. And, as it happened, my old stylemaster has a hole at the pinch... I have also liked the Federation, for some time. I think some of...- ADHD librarian

Brooks Brothers Hat
Sorry, I can't help you with dating the hat. But, figured I'd say that you need to put a dent in it and show us how it looks on your head. Because, if it suits you then it is $100 well spent, regardless of the age. The word 'vintage' though is not worth much on an hat bought online. I was...- ADHD librarian

What hat are you waiting for today?
An Akubra Snowy River? My first fur felt was a black Snowy River. Bought it from the Strand Hatters in Sydney. With it fixed firmly on my head, I walked to Moore Park. This turned out to be an error, because as a teenage boy in a hat walking up Oxford Street I was met with a lot of "ohhh hello...- ADHD librarian

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
For me today was my Akubra Flat Top. No real idea of the vintage of this one, it is 'pocketweight' and, really does have a flat top (although, when I found it, someone had tried to give it a bash. But it is much too shallow for that to work). From what I can find, looking through old Australian...- ADHD librarian

Cleaning my hat... a slightly odd question.
An Akubra can cope with that sort of thing. In my younger days, it was not unheard of for 'friends' to place a warm cowpat in your Akubra and jam it firmly on your head. I used shampoo on the hair and sunlight on the hat. I suspect this is all you need.- ADHD librarian

Dobbs Gamebird - $1 Just picked up this little beauty from a local charity shop for the princely sum of $1. It is a Dobbs Gamebird with the additional stamp "Made expressly for the Myer store for men Adelaide" The felt has a wonderful, thick soft feel but the stitching on the sweat has...- ADHD librarian

Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements
This is my Akubra Silver Spur bearing the brunt of a tropical low (which is predicted to be a cyclone in a couple of hours). Kept my head nice and dry as I cleared up the yard and sorted out a couple of broken downpipes. And, just to be real Aussie about it, the hat was joined by my driza-bone...- ADHD librarian

If you are only going to have one hat (and I do not recommend that, unless you also own only one pair of shoes and are an avowed minimalist), but if you are, then that is a damned nice one to have.- ADHD librarian

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Not a great photo, but as this is a recent modification I thought I'd put it up anyway. The hat is an Akubra Silver Spur, which is a c-crown western style lid. I've re-bashed it as a centre dent and taken off the plaited leather band and replaced it with a green ribbon. Not 100% sure of the...- ADHD librarian
