BB, I'm hoping mine will it Customs about Friday, but certainly early next wk. Then giving it most of next wk to clear Customs, then 3-4 days to me, I'm hoping to see it around the 20th. Earlier would be great but I won't get my hopes up counting on it.

It has arrived. Put a quick dry bash on it and snapped a few pics. First thought is that this is a big Hat! Hard to take a pic where the hat dosen't look overpowering, but in person it doesn't seem that way. I'll flatten the brim a bit also, when I get around to it.


YEP ! They're HUGE ! Nice Color Mm25 , the Brush Popper/Conagher looks Great !

Mm25 , It looks like you got most of the Pull mine had out , Did you do something ? Mine Swoops Down from the Ribbon A LOT . I tried a Bunch of Dry Creases , but right now I have a Cattleman in it (more like a Minnick Crease) Tall . That Brush Popper Looks Great . Not sure still what the final Crease will be in mine .

Since this is the Akubra Woomera Thread , I'll add Lt.hats Open Crown Sand Woomera after he got his ...

Its really NOT White , it's Sand , the Sun is making it look really White , but its a Good Color , too . I like mine . And they're really Cool , as in Not Hot , plus I think the Ribbon is 5/8" .

Nice look.

Mm I really like the color. I didn't realize that is what Santone would be. And I see the difference in the packer draw that Michael is talking about. I'll look forward to seeing what you end up with. Mine should arrive by the 20th, maybe before.

Mine hit Customs in NY this morning. If it can clear & be turned over to USPS early next wk it's 3-4 days to me. So I'm probably looking at the 18th - 20th for delivery.

Hi @Lt.hats (Scott) , It is Definitely a LARGE Hat , no wonder they call it the BIG Brother of the Bobby . Me either , I'm still playing with it , but Hoss looks Okay to me . I'm wanting to get the Pull out , and I guess start over , but I like the curl in the back of the Brim . Mine just has too much Swoop down , I could live with it , but I'd like less . All I can figure is take it back flat and take it from there . Any Crease I've tried looks Good though , but I haven't just nailed the one I want yet . The Minnick/Cool Hand Luke (kind of) cross I tried last night didn't look bad . I'm not a young guy , but I like some of the Higher Creases some of the Rodeo Guys have started wearing lately on 6" Crowns . This is Like Godzilla Crown compared to them , and the swoop just adds to it . I like the Old Creases for Tailer Crowns , I'm just indecisive (takes me a while) . The Mix looks Great , the Mule Skinner(Gus) , The Peak , ... the list is LONG ! I'll probably try them All a Time or Two before I settle ...

< That's the Way I like My Peaks more even across the bottom and straight . I have NO Doubt a Horse Shoe would work , or a Cow Track .
