    Akubra Overload

    Here’s a Drover model that I received flattened and dirty. After a bit of work it appears no worse for wear. Yeah, Akubra. Bill

    Nice crease and back bow on this 1950s Royal Deluxe. I couldn’t resist picking it up even though it is a small size. Bill

    Akubra Bushman

    Here is a Bushman with no grommets and a nice brown/green color. Seller claimed it was “owned by his neighbor’s Dad and is old.” Not really sure about the vintage but felt seems higher quality than my other imperial felt Akubras.

    Western, anyone?

    Stetson makes the Moose River for LL Bean as well. I believe it is a $200 Royal Stetson quality hat.

    Great hat! I’ve been searching for a hat like this since you showed it to us last year. No such luck finding another in my size but the search continues. :)

    Western, anyone?

    Can’t wait for winter to end here in Montana so I can wear my straw OR. I have other less fashionable (but better vented) straw hats for summer activities like brandings and fly fishing but for me this OR is great for local outdoor concerts and bbqs with friends.

    Western, anyone?

    I’m not sure what “lifestyle“ requirement is being referred to above but I’ve worked on multigenerational ranches in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana and I don’t recall ever seeing an OR on a buckeroo, wrangler, foreman, owner, or cook for that matter. My best friend is a national champion rodeo...

    Many times, the Blackfeet ventured into the mountains and ambushed the western tribes as they came through the canyon. The gruesome evidence of these raids was the "Gates of Hell." Hell Gate also was the original name for Missoula. Bill

    Homburg Nation

    Here is a Stetson Royal Deluxe with the original $12.95 price tag. The hat is in great shape considering its age which I’m guessing is 1950s. Bill

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I don’t have as much experience as others but I’m finding that older (1960s or earlier) felt hats with leather sweatbands almost always have shrunken due to age. The more the hat is dirty and exposed to the elements the more shrinking will have occurred. As others have said, the risk for...

    Akubra Kentucky Rancher

    Welcome Woods! Great to have another MT guy on the forum. Love the hat and what you’ve done with it. Akubras are a great match for our MT weather and I usually have one on when out on the river. Bill
