Akubra Overload

What size do you wear?
I'm a size 59, seems that stock is very low at Hats Direct and Everything Australian.
This is okay with me as I just spent some money on myself and am probably going to wait a few months for the next hat.
I was recently in JJ Hat Center and was looking forward to purchasing an Open Road while I was there but the staff told me that it's been a while since they had any in stock.
Not a total waste as I got to see Kevin in the flesh, I regret not telling him how much I enjoy his YouTube page. https://www.youtube.com/@quadrogong1111
I'm always asking myself if I need another hat and eventually the answer comes to me.

I got my last one from Hats by the Hundred. Service was good and free untracked shipping from Australia that came with a tracking number!
I had a bad experience with them a while back and when I contacted them, they blew me off with no attempt to make things right so I will not buy from them again.
I would rather pay more or go without.
Their loss because since then I have bought 10 more Akubra hats from Hats Direct and Everything Australian with no issues.

We don’t see them often, but I’m pretty sure I’ve posted mine before. I find the taper and smallish brim lead me to choose other Akubras ahead of it, so it mostly sits.

It’s funny how a 3 inch brim can seem small, but the way these are shaped make them look and feel smaller. I haven’t worn mine yet, but I think I will enjoy it as a casual hat.

Agreed, I think the taper contributes to that small feeling but, like all Akubras they are tough, well made hats and will serve you well for casual use.
