Where can I get a new Akubra Bushman besides David Morgan? Nothing at all against David (fine service) but with current Aussie dollar exchange $120 US is a bit steep right now. I can get 2 Squatters or Open Roads for that. Have US dealers started to match Aussie prices…yet?
Does Hatsdirect or Everything Australian sell Akubras labeled Bushman? Other sources?
Or is there another Akubra with same specs by different name?
Imperial Quality felt, 5 ½” open crown, 3 1/4” brim, bound edge, Nullabor Tan colour, ½” ribbon.
Also noticed my old Bushman doesn’t have chin strap holes and new ones do. When did that start?
My ol’ Akubra Bushman is finally ready to retire. It’s been my solid go to hat for heavy working in rain and snow since the day I got it from one of them new fangled upstart mail order houses called David Morgan in Bothell, WA back in 1965. It’s been a fine friend. Earned it’s peg on the Great Wall-O-Hats but begs to be replaced in kind.
