Doing what Akubras do best. Protect the wearer. Love the hat band BTW. Looks great.

Akubra Angler in Loden.
I like the red liner and the shark tooth that must have come from a Great white.

Back in September I played my last show with the band I formed in 2016. The moonstone Campdraft Deluxe served me well throughout the long evening.
Gotta love that classy decor at Darrell's.

February seems to be Akubra month for me! Here's the second of three Akubras incoming or arrived: Akubra Fawn Banjo, from the Delmonico sale in January. Pairs well with a wool scarf from Berlin, my beloved Bean rag wool zip, and Barbour Waxed winter jacket.

Yes, I was scrolling and saw yours in the grayer color, I think? I was hesitant at first because I was worried it would be too "western" on me, but it's not at all and I really do love it. Got it nice and wet today--the rain is back!

Hey Guys--The Akubra Traveler. I'm heading to Berlin in May to visit our son, so it will be Spring. Not sure temperature, but in May it averages 60s low 70s.
How lightweight is the Traveler? If it's unseasonably warm before we leave I can bring the packable Lock & Co Panama. But my guess is the weather will be mild. I'm really wanting something I can crush up if need be. A couple hours in the suitcase, etc.
Does anybody have this hat and can comment?
Thanks in advance!

Hot off the plane, a Campdraft in Bluegrass Green. Used some steam to bash it in a simple style for now. Hattery comes through--direct from Oz.

That looks good, you got some nice height there. I've had a good time with mine, might try something along these lines.

So I nearly lost my campdraft when a big gust of wind came up today. Good thing I attached the trolley string to my shirt.
Of course this is me when I stopped for a bite to eat afterwards. I had put the string back since the wind had settled down for a bit.

I'll be traveling to Europe this spring and have added an Akubra Traveler. I like it. And although it's traditional to wear it brim down-
-
I really like it with the brim flat. I have no idea if it will actually stay that way since it's not designed to, but I love it this way.
Anybody else wear it like this? Or am I the only one insane enough to like this look?

I like the look on some people, not so much on others, and not at all on my head. I think the flat brim suits PDXHAT very well, but for myself I much prefer a deeply flanged brim with the front snapped down.

I really like the look of the traveler, what do you think of it? Is the cloth sweat band as comfortable as the leather? Is the felt floppy compared to your other Akubras? Thanks!

This hat is great too, you have me thinking about another order from down under. I really like the bluegrass green color.

Yeah, after living with this for a bit, I'm not sure about it. If I could be sure the brim would stay flat I might keep it, but it's really made to slouch, and I'm just not crazy about the way it looks on me like that. The brim seems enormous to me although that may be an illusion.
As far as comfort, it's very comfortable and very light. The hat itself isn't floppy at all, it's actually very well engineered.
I'm going to live with it the weekend. I may change my mind and keep it after all.
Flat is not for me. Never feel comfortable in it.
