The grey really suits you! You wear it very well. I haven't worked up the gumption to wear grey just yet (although I've got a new Fed IV moonstone waiting for me...)
Finally had a chance to unpack (one must savour these things) and to take some 'rough' shots...
Akimbo Fed IV's deluxe (size 60) with the classic 1930s bash (but with a cheeky country style brim)
Which to wear first...
It certainly hasn't stopped me, that's for sure (arrived today)...
As always, thanks to the Katoomba team (and Patrick for the bash).

Twiggy Forrest... purchased RM Williams too (from LVMH). Doing some 'curious' things and designs with RMs... there's mixed opinions about Twiggy taking the helm. Some good, some not so.
TheLostCowboy is right, The Hattery has the exclusive for the Fed IV and Akubra just makes them (I think it's...
Thank you for the ideas and inspo! I'm now convinced that what I had in my mind will work. Yep, only 1 week to go.
In the meantime, I modified my Angler...
It's my first attempt at the ribbon combo... and now my fave hat in circulation. Thinking of doing it to the Kiandra (without vent holes)
I am about to take delivery of my second Fed IV (although Deluxe this time). The first of which has a tear drop.
For something different, I was considering getting a cattlemans crease (blasphemy, I'm sure).
Has anybody done this with a Fed IV, and if so, would you have any pictures? I've done...
I stumbled across a 'relatively' new hattery (i.e. since last September) in Robertson, NSW (Aus):
The Highland Hattery
Lovely owner, Michelle, and a beautiful store. Also plenty of Akubra and Avenal hats. It has real atmosphere, much like The Hattery at Katoomba. Loved it!
I'll definitely be...
RM Williams. Look no further. You can definitely get them in the UK (as we saw them on our last visit). But you will pay a premium.
Will last forever and then some.
Not a new hat but a new band.
Swapped the leather on the Angler for a horse hair braid from Knot-a-tail (great quality).
I thought the contrast between hat colour and band colour may be too stark, but I think it works.
Sorry to learn of that.
I've had a hat shipped (interstate) from Strand Hatters and they were brilliant. Very attentive, friendly, and efficient. So much so that I sent a separate thank you email (which I rarely do unless deserved)
They also did a really good bash for my Squatter!
Hopefully...
Latest on the waitlist (to be received this week) is an Akubra Rough Rider in Bran with a $30 discount and free shipping - https://akubra.com.au/products/rough-rider-bran
I have an obsession with hats lately, and I find myself spending far too much money on them (although that may not be a bad...
