Hey team,
I've decided to offload some of my collection and have an authentic Aussie dress coat (LARGE size) for sale plus a matching cap in a small 57.
Hit me up on etsy if interested

Been a while, but I thought I'd add my most recent adoption.
Akubra Leasuretime.
Classic aussie styling with a stiff felt and a narrower brim than most of its genre. I had initially thought to replace the band but quite like the leather and feather combo. The crown is short but broad and I...
I'll see what I can do.
As I say in the link I'm a solid 6 foot 2 and its a comfortable fit, if a tad short in the waste like the original.
Measurements to follow...
Hey hat strokers,
I'm offloading an authentic Coyles Raiders of the Lost Ark replica jacket for a sweet $60US!
It's an XL in excellent condition and has had little wear as I live in Sydney where it doesn't get that cold.
If you're interested, I've posted it to my Etsy store...
Not much interest in travelling hat 2.0 then?
I was thinking we should pitch the idea to akubra. That way we could start with pix of the hat being made and beginning its journey. I think we can make this thing work!
Ill make some enquiries.
Perhaps we should get another one rolling.
Maybe we could request sponsorship in the form of a hat from one of the several vendors and manufacturors that have benefited from frequent word-of-mouth promotion from the hundreds of hat-addicted loungers that inhabit this site. We could send them...
Hmmmm...suspicious...
Such a shame we lost that hat...again!
Tom-n-Perrin was the last man seen in possession of the wandering squatter. Where'd he send it to?
Well, wherever it ended up I hope it's being enjoyed.
Hey cap lovers - I'm wondering if y'all can point me to some good online sellers of classic flatcaps.
Most of the modern variety are a little skinny and short on brim for my liking. I'm chasing a nice soft tweed in the vein of George Clooney's lid in Leatherheads (no, not the helmet!)
Given that some of these go for around the $100 mark online I think you'd do MUCH better picking up a Fed IV for only a few bucks more. If you want a smaller hat with a bit of taper then an Akubra Adventurer or a Fedora would still be closer to the real thing and much nicer hats. If it's the...
I saw an old guy out shopping this week in a chocolate brown "licenced" Indy Fedora complete with the badge on the ribbon.
While it's always nice to see a fedora out in the wild - it's really not a great looking hat. It kind of made him look like he'd just bought it at a carnival.
A cracking retort...
I almost never get Indy comments as most of my hats are grey but now that I have a brown Akubra Fedora... it appears I fit the bill. I recently got my first Indy comment in years but was able to offer the perfect comeback.
Following my daughter's birthday party on the...
Sweet - I look forward to seeing it. It'd be great to see a Sydney and a Fedora side by side.
Everyone says it's the same hat, but it'd be interesting to compare.
That's exactly what i did!:D Grubby old polo shirt, cargo shorts and thongs (no, not the underwear - the flip-flop footwear kind;)) and the most stylish hat on the street!
At least I was well dressed from the neck up!
Mind you, it's a 2 hour drive from my place to Katoomba. My wife thinks...
...oh and I'm a big fan of the trolly cord!
My first stetson as a kid - an old Open Road - had the string+button and while I had no idea what it was for I loved the look - I nice nod to the old days!

The brown Akubra Fedora I bought from The Hattery last week was certainly soft but not at all "floppy" - Although... a carbon grey one I tried on (with awesome red lining) definitely had a bit of flop to it.
The gals at the Hattery were saying that there is officially no difference between...
