Akubra Squatter - the wide-brimmed Stylemaster
This Squatter in Superfine felt arrived earlier in the week and I've been playing around with the bash. Currently it has a teardrop, but I'm thinking I'd like the crown a tad taller and so may try a centre dent.
It's not too old, though it still has the keyhole-shape foil size tag which Akubra used for decades until somewhere in the 90's. As its labeling is otherwise identical to the current Squatters, I'm guessing it comes from somewhere towards the end of the foil tag era.
The colour has undertones of greeny blue. My local hatshop tells me it's a discontinued Akubra colour called 'gun metal grey'. They should bring it back.
