I like it MV, especially the color, what color does Akubra call it?

 

[Cliffnopus]

How does one find out how much Penman charges for... well, anything, much less the hat stretcher? I may just be missing it, but I so no prices on any product on that web page.

On the left there is a menu that has a section with pricing.

I am assuming it is "bluegrass green." That according to a company selling the Pastoralist.

Wow, looks more grayish to me, but a very nice-lookin' hat nonetheless.

 

[Neophyte]

On the hatband it says "Pastoralist." I assume that is the model.

It also said something like "expressly made for Outback Trading Co.", right? Its odd, a similarly-named hat is offered at EverythingAustralian, though it has a lower, telescoped crown. It is also described as "more suited to women's casual wear"...

I like yours better .

Yes, the stamp on the sweat says "Made Expressly for the Outback Trading Co, PA." I know what you mean about how much nicer mine looks, tho. After I got it on ebay I started looking around for new sellers of the model. Every version of it shows it with a flat top, telescoped (like a gambler style). I have not seen it anywhere in the form I have mine in with a fedora front pinch treatment. I think mine looks far better than the other versions I've seen thus far for sale new.

I agree with you. I don't see a hint of "green" in this color.Naturally my photo above is a tad lighter than in real life, but not too much so. I can see the "blue" in the bluegrass.... but the green? Nope.

On the Akubra website they have this to say about the Pastoralist:

"A unisex style hat which has become an old favourite.
Features a low pork pie crown and two row plaited band."

And they show it with the 73mm bound edge brim snapped down all around I like yours better
Onward thru the fog

They only list 3 colors for that hat on the manufacturers site. "Bluegrass Green, Sand, Tawny Fawn" But it sure doesn't look like Bluegrass Green to me.

My Camp Draft is DEFINTELY green. Even though a tough color to photograph (and I saw others here I thought blue/gray before mine arrived). Puzzling, as it sure doesn't look like either of the others. I wonder if it could be a color no longer listed/made in that model?

Just arrived from Germany.

That could well be. I am not familiar with the Akubra history in the slightest. Maybe someone more familiar might know?

FDR Campaign button collection(attached to hat)

1940 Election I think. A bit too dry for wear.

 

[Alex]

rlk that's an awesome boater.. and the buttons make it that much more awesome

 

[Mobile Vulgus]

Strangely enough, two of those political buttons are anti-FDR buttons (The "No Third Term" ones).

 

[Chinaski]

I just had to throw this out there - no one posted a new hat today!! Not even rlk...

 

[DRB]

Chinaski: I also noted that no one posted a new hat yesterday. Here is a peak at one that is being built by Gary White, just to keep things moving. Under construction. Dark Olive, Cavanaugh edge, 100% beaver. Ribbon: Black , 1 inch wide with a black, Hassidic, pleated bow. Hope to have it soon. I believe it will be darker than the picture represents.

 

[Aureliano]

That one looks nice, DRB. I myself are thinking about finding a green hat. Love the edge, too. Cavanagh, always beautiful. (small pet peeve of mine, no U in cavanagh! :eeek: [bad]lol:fing28

That is a great shade of green -- and a black ribbon works very nicely against that color. Looking forward to seeing the final results!
