Haven't been on here for years! Glad to see it still going strong here! I await my Akubra Campdraft. My first actually. My 6th Akubra actually! Getting the Sand (which im told is the old Silverbelly since they dont make them anymore)

I and the family are alive and well. Thanks for asking.

Anything you want to wear with it. I know some here will demand I be flogged for mixing khaki with my Open Road but I only get compliments in public. I wear it with t-shirts, Jeans or even a nice dinner jacket and slacks. Probably the most versatile hat you can wear. However you are comfortable...

My Stetson accompanied me and the children to the local zoo this fine day past.

Decided as there's a little rain/snow mix in the air to wear one of my trusted all weather Akubra Cattlemans this morning.

Outstanding as always!!

Hello. Welcome. I speak with a little bit of experience here on the Akubra. I own 2 Snowy Rivers and 3 Cattleman. I am a 7 1/2 or 60 but have ordered 7 5/8 or 61 with each Akubra on some sage advice from our esteemed brethren here. I ALWAYS need my inserts for at least a week or 2. I have always...

I will keep this in mind in the future. All of my Silverbelly brims are my favorites and of course they are the easiest to get dirty.

Okay, I have a question. My second day owning a brand new Akubra Snowy River in Sand. I was steaming deeper pinches over a kettle. After I pulled it away I realized that a small portion of the felt between the pinches must have rubbed up against the rubber edge of the spout and left what I...

Okay folks. Had my first insult last week from a drive-by insulter. I went out for a late night cruise by myself. Around 12:30am, I pulled up to the local train station because as I was driving by, I spotted one of those old green Burlington Northern hopper cars parked on the siding. I got out...

So this newest one is interesting. Got a guy at work that nicknamed me Sheriff whenever I don my silverbelly Open Road.

Thank you for your kind words! I am fairly new to Akubra and it has certainly grown on me. I am 2 Cattlemans in. I am on maybe an Angler next.

Another beautiful evening at the park with the family accompanied by my favorite sun and rain protector, my Akubra Cattleman in Bran.
