Help please! I am looking for a quality fur felt hat with a shape like this one (Tommy Flanagan as Arthur Shelby Sr. in Peaky Blinders). Colour should be something dark and versatile.
Any ideas gentlemen?
Good point. I just really like Akubra. For a durable outdoor hat that will hold up against the elements I don't know any better option. So that's why.
I thought that maybe the Rough Rider might also work, although the end product might be somewhat smaller than the hat in the movie. But given...
I want to remake the hat Kurt Russell wear in "The Thing" (1982), see attached photos. I want to use an Akubra as a basis and reshape it to resemble the movie hat. I though about using the Akubra Sombrero (photo on the table), but I am unsure. Maybe the crown on the Sombrero is too high? Can...
So just an update: I just ordered a new Rough Rider Loden from Australia, it only cost me 115 Euros (I live in Austria) including shipping. Should arrive within 2 weeks. The hat is so nice, I'm not sure whether I'll actually have the heart to modify it, but if I do – where should I post...
I think the Akubra Rough Rider in Loden may fit when re-shaped and equipped with a new hat band. The brim seems somewhat large, but I guess I could cut it?
There it is:

Thanks guys for all the useful feedback. I'm sure I'll be able to replicate the look with one of your tips. I checked out the Campdraft and it does seem similar, although I suspect that even there the brim may be to small. My head is pretty big, so the RM Williams will probably not fit the bill...
Interesting – that would be great, since I am a sucker for Akubras. What makes you think it's an Akubra, though? Just curios.
I think the most difficult part is the brim shape – it has this angled or flipped down brim (not sure what the proper name is), where the front and back are bent down...
Thanks for your reply! I totally agree in terms of the Fed IV – but looking at some photos of the Adventurer model, it seems quite close. I thought maybe the different sized hat band gives the illusion of a different sized hat. So maybe the Adventurer with a smaller hat band looks larger? Hard...
Hello gentlemen,
I hope it is okay to ask this question with a new thread, I'm still rather new to the forum.
I recently watched the movie Hostiles starring Christian Bale, Wes Studi, Rory Cochrane, etc., and I really like the hats that those guys are wearing — Rory Cochrane’s brown hat in...
Thank you Mark. Those are some nice looking hats, classic and rugged, I love em. And yes, in terms of the shrinkage I figured the larger size would be a good idea since the 59 wasn't uncomfortable at all and did not look odd or anything. I think purchasing a hat slightly larger, just slightly...
Hello Gentlemen,
I am fairly new to the world of hats (quality hats, that is. I do have an old, beaten up cowboy hat of bad quality from almost ten years ago, badly shrunken now, and a Christy's foldaway, also shrunken, stretched, shrunken again, stretched etc.) and I have just purchased my...
