I've got a light btown/fawn Akubra Stylemaster and I love it. It's not the Ultimate Hat, I hope to order a custom one from Art here on the forums one day, but it captures a certain feel pretty well, and Akubra are very nice. I also have a CEO form Akubra, wider brim. sadly I'm getting old and round faced and I don't look as dashing as I do in my head!
I notice in the Great Films of the 30s and 40s, those unscripted (presumably), "real moments" where the actors have a hat, and hold it a certain way unconsciously, or crush it a bit and then often re-bash it automatically and put it back on (always the center top crease and then a "wrap around brim fix"). Those magic hats seemed softer and ...something special!
I've got 2 Stylemasters and love them both. There are several other hats that I want, but the Stylemasters definitely get the lion's share of wear in the daily rotation. They're my only 2 fur felts, so I guess that's to be expected.
