Hello all,
I've been reading this forum for a while now, interestingly enough because I was searching for info on Barmah hats :eusa_clap
After borrowing one from a friend on occasions, I ordered a Barmah full grain (brown) Bronco, certainly looking forward to it, though it should still take a week or two to get here.. It seems this is a dangerous forum because I put down a 'Dobbs Milan' as a possible next one in case I go on a summer vacation Dangerous forum indeed... I unfortunately have a nasty habit of investing a little bit too much time/money in straight razors, hopefully this won't happen to the hats too now!
I wear a hat almost exclusively in the summer months when we head out to the mountains. Rain and sun all pass by, nevermind the occasional fish flipping against my head as I reel it in (don't ask), so I looked for a rugged hat and came to like the above mentioned one.
As a means to ask a question while introducing myself, I was wondering, does anyone here happen to own such an aussie (barmah) hat? Also, in the 'outback' I would imagine it being darn hot, how come they wear LEATHER hats there? Seems like they could get hot (though I read this is not the case)?
