I've been wanting a wide-brimmed, leather sweatband hat for the summer for yardwork, outdoor labor, etc. I was originally going to use my Akubra Traveller for this, but after reading another person's post on here about sweating into fabric sweatbands and staining the fur felt, I decided to go with a leather sweatband. I saw an Akubra Cattleman in my size on eBay, so I won it for a price I was extremely pleased with considering the size of the hat and the fact that it's brand new. I'm excited to receive it.
Does anybody have any photographs of themselves wearing one? What are everyone's general opinions on this hat for the function that I've described - i.e. outdoor, sweaty, dirty work?
Thanks!
