RobFedoraField said:the "green under" is where the line hat with a green felt (not sure what it's made of) to reduce sun comming thru the weave of the straw and to reduce glare.
haven't had a hat with it no so I can't really give a review.
skyvue said:Hat Doc, did the band come with the hat? I'm looking at it on Everything Australian, and there's no mention of a band color other than black.
And does anyone know if Capricorn can be special ordered in larger sizes?
And finally, does anyone know if there's a difference in crown height between the Capricorn and the Rink?

HatDoc said:Stay tuned, citRon......I just ordered a Gray and a Copper, as well as a Rink in Cream. I'll post photos of all 3 when they arrive in about 10 days or so.

MCrider said:Just when I was thinking that I may need to order a Capricorn as a summer hat there's this wonderful review with pictures even! Well as the title goes, count me in on this one, I plan to order one by the weekend. Hope all of you who are talking about getting one also don't end up putting me on the backorder list!
HatDoc, thanks again for your insight into the mystery of the Akubra Capricorn. Now that I've seen it, I gotta have one.
HatDoc said:Yep. What you see is what came out ot the box.
I'll know more about the Rink when it arrives.
Re: larger sizes: shoot an email to EA....they'll be able to tell you.

Summary:
This hat is a winner. It wears and looks great. It'll take the rain without losing it's shape.
I'll be ordering a Gray one when I finish this review. I'm also going to order a Cream-colored "Rink", which appears to be the same hat.
So.....that's about it. If you're looking for a nice straw that can withstand the weather, order the Akubra Capricorn with confidence.
