Cool but not cold autumn day. A carbon grey Akubra Stylemaster.

Huckel Sigma Oronzo (sp)
Thick Brown/Green Loden Velour
Approx 5 inch crown as shaped
1 1/4 self felted hat band
1 1/2 raw edge brim

Another hat from Stefan’s @steur magical mystery care package. And a true addition to Stingyville. This one a Huckel velour in a dark Loden (Brown/Green). A bit of tyrolean-esque styling on this one. A very tapered crown that surprisingly reaches about 5 inches in height as shaped and a super stingy 1 1/2 raw edge brim. It has an interesting self felted ribbon/hatband. The fancy metal Huckel logo size tag on the sweat band is a very nice touch. The felt is very thick with fairly deep nap on both sides of the felt.

Very nice. And I love the tie!
Thanks all for kind words.

The Stylemaster is my favourite of all the Akubra’s though the Fed IV is not far behind.

The tie gets a lot of compliments so encouraged to be a bit more bold in my tie purchases. Livens up a thirty plus year old jacket.

Love seeing the various brands and styles. Quite like the “furrier” versions. The joys of having a much bigger market to choose from in other countries while in Australia we are rather restricted in choice. Though having found a great local hatter I am tempted to have him make one but no idea what the ideal felt is.

I have gone from barely wearing a hat to feeling rather undressed without one. My father suffered from loosing his ears from skin cancer and being from Country NSW was always pushing me to wear hats and with his passing it was my way of showing respect for his wishes. Though I am more a city slicker in my choices while a Snowy River looked great on him.
