Hello Hat Friends
Sorry haven't been on in a couple weeks - Work & health issues have kept me offline. I have been remiss in posting pics of my now beloved Akubra Territory. (Definately lives up to the "Walking Veranda" nickname) Here's the rub. [huh] I cannot get the pics to attach to the post. I have been on other forums where I could just drag the pix from my docs to the page but not here - What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help.

You have to load your photos onto a site like Photobucket, then copy the properties (stop at the .jpg of the thread)...hit the "Insert image" icon above, and you should be set...

Nice one! I always liked the looks of that Territory. That's some serious sun protection right there, pardner!

Nice to see some of these wide brimmed Akubras in this thread. I knew they were out there. Wear that big hat with pride.

Nope, you're not asking in the wrong place. The Banjo Patterson is Heritage felt while the Leisure Time is Imperial.
In plain language, the Banjo is a bit smoother in finish while the Leisure Time is a little rougher. The Heritage is a hare/rabbit mix while the Imperial is rabbit, a fact which has little effect on the finish, they just pounce [smooth] the Heritage a bit more. There's a slight difference in the sweatbands, too. They do look very similar in blockshape and bash. The Banjo Patterson has a Barrumundi leather band making it a bit nicer, too.
I'm not sure what long term advantage one felt has over the other. I own both Heritage and Imperial felt Akubras and can vouch for either being top notch, but couldn't honestly say to get one over the other. Just whichever you can afford or prefer.
Hope this helped, BLACKCLOUD!

HEY! Fresh from the US Gov't approved digital scale at the post office.
Woodfluter asked about weight difference bewteen the Federation IV Standard and the Deluxe.
So, I just got back from my assignment. Each hat was weighed three times to ensure accuracy.
3.8 oz. Sydney/Fedora
5.1 oz. Squatter
5.2 oz. Federation IV Deluxe
5.5 oz. Federation IV Standard
There ya go
Goose Thanks.
Just the information i was looking for. Time and time again I am amazed at the wealth of information that is available in this forum. Hat's off to the members for taking the time to research, scrutinize, photograph and post the information.
Regards.
