Does anyone have an Akubra Bogart?

[Donato]

We really need to see all of Akubra's greys next to one another for comparison!

Carbon Grey, Cruiser Grey, Glen Grey, Steel Grey, Moonstone, etc...

None of the existing sites show them all together, similarly lit. (The official Akubra site has some nice shots, but not all together.)

True enough, but you cannot even find that on the official Akubra website. I just PM'd another member ("Roaring Days"), who has a Bogart in carbon grey and I asked him to post a photo or two of his hat on this thread when he gets a chance. He lives in Australia, so hopefully he will read and respond to the PM soon. We'll see. In the meantime, if anyone else has a Bogart in grey, please post a photo for all to see. Thanks.

Very nice looking. I believe that will be my next purchase though I haven't decided on a color yet.

Good looking hat! I'm sure it looks even better on?

You bet. I wore it out tonight to a Japanese restaurant and it felt just right size wise this time. I am eager to compare it to the Stylemaster.

My Akubra Bogart (in black) is my favorite hat. If you look at stills from Casablanca, it looks like the exact same hat.

I also have a couple of Stetson Temples -- I cut down the brim on each about a half-inch -- yet the Bogart is a better-looking hat.

I'll likely only buy Akubra from now on.

Now that I have two Akubras, I know what you mean. For the price and quality point, they are a great bargain. Does anyone have the Bogart in "carbon grey"? I emailed Australiangear.com to ask what shade of grey this is, so I hope they answer soon. I may order one in that color too. And the Stylemaster also receives good reviews from the members who have one and they are offered in a variety of colors if one is willing to wait three months to purchase one (all colors are not always available all year long).

Autraliangear.com just replied to my email and they said that carbon grey is "a very dark grey." Since they did not elaborate, I would imagine it is more like a charcoal grey color.

carbon grey

My fed is carbon grey, and you can see it under the thread "My new DM Akubra Adventurer." It is a dark grey, but not charcoal.

Nice lid. On my PC screen, it looks almost black, so you are right, it is a very dark grey. Thanks.
