Thanks! This weekend I will try to post a couple pics of my CP and RAAF Slouch.
I remember about the kids wearing that gorgeous red Snowy River !!Just for fun here are all my Akubra hats
Left to right SnowyRiver in Santone, Federation Deluxe III in dark brown and Down Under in black
SnowyRiver in sand, Coolabah in bran and Banjo Paterson in heritage Fawn.
Croc in black, Squatter in carbon grey and SnowyRiver in rodeo red
And finally the Cattleman in Fawn. The Banjo Paterson and red SnowyRiver I bought for my wife but she never wears. But the kids love to wear them from time to time.

I am looking forward to seeing the post. I can imagine how large your Akubra collection is now. Must be very impressive.I love Santone Fawn, as I have said, I feel that it is the most Australian shade, has Australian written all over it.
But will get some pics of the Sand, Black, Santone and BGG together Friday or Saturday
Might help you get a better idea

Here we goI am thinkin that I like the Santone Fawn...I pamper the Black one but most of my other hats end up with a little "character"..I actually need to get a stretcher as my Coolabah shrunk a bit after its last soaking..
Nice collection Z.These are my Akubras. First, my three Fed IVs - Dark Brown, Tawny Fawn, Moonstone:
And my three Campdrafts - Bluegrass Green, Taupe Fawn, Silverbelly:
I clearly have a preferred "look" for each style; Diamond crease for the Fed IVs, Teardrop for the Campdrafts (though the Bluegrass Green has more of a soft C-Crown). It wasn't intentional, just the way it worked out over time. In fact, initially I gave the Feds Teardrop creases as well, but once I figured out how to do a Diamond crease on the first one there was no turning back.
At some point I think I'd like to add a Heritage Fawn Banjo Paterson to the lineup, but 2017 has been unkind to my wife and I financially so that will have to wait.
Thank you Sir! They aren't vintage or "high end", but they suit my needs and I like 'em.Nice collection Z.
I have the same stable of CD's same shades and shape !!These are my Akubras. First, my three Fed IVs - Dark Brown, Tawny Fawn, Moonstone:

...and no need to be, either.Thank you Sir! They aren't vintage or "high end", but they suit my needs and I like 'em.
Hello, I live in Seoul, Korea where weather is now rainy season. I wear two akubra federation IV several times in the rain and mistakenly put the hat nested. Then, somehow, the sweatband got sort of very sticky. By sticky, I do not mean "comfortable sticky" against strong wind. It is like "glued."
For grey federation iv, the whole band got sticky. If I smear it, sticky black residue comes off. I tried tooth brush with soap to clean off, but no success. For the other federation IV, only forehead and rear-head part is beginning partially sticky. I would like to salvage the latter one. But, don't know how.
Did I completely ruin the hats?
Thank you my friend! I considered the Coober Pedy, and I really like yours displayed in post #5944 above, but the rounded/tapered crown really wouldn't suit me and the brim is just a bit too wide for my tastes, so I think the Banjo Paterson would be better for me....Really hope you can get the Banjo Paterson in Heritage Fawn, I have it and it's a real nice hat...
So do we!...Hope your current economic bumps finish soon and prosperity shows and stays in your lives!
I think you will love it in Heritage Fawn, it look way better than Charcoal IMHOThank you my friend!

So do we!
Yes I will be cool, also the CD in Navy or Moonstone will be very cool, I think they are now selling it in Moonstone too.Love the blue grass green. May have to keep it in mind when/if I go for another hat. BBG in a federation would be cool.

I have a MSCD. Actual color is just a little bit darker than pictured.I think they are now selling it in Moonstone too.
Darn, now you MUST send me 150 bucks by PayPal, I want one, and since it is your fault you should pay for it [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]I have a MSCD. Actual color is just a little bit darker than pictured.
Checks in the mail!Seriously, where did you bought it?
Thanks my friend !! Will be wisely spent !
