    what kind of hat am I looking for ?

    Akubra Fed4 is rabbit fur felt, not beaver. Lots of hats are made for rain, like Filson, but I go with a beater western or an Akubra (they seem to love the wet).

    Australian Gear?

    Bought from both Hats Direct & EA and been in custom orders from both with excellent results. Have done the 3 month wait too. EA has better prices on shipping but the longer wait time. Worth it sometimes.

    Customized Akubra Stylemaster

    Your profile could take a tighter pinch for the crown, looks a little too blunt IMHO. Brim looks more "drover" now, sort of in line with a Squatter or CEO model Akubra.

    Justified FX Hat

    Bet the Stetson was a stunt hat, one of those wool Marshals they started selling after the show became a hit. Dave @ Garland Outlet said he sent them a fur felt Carson with the leather band after trimming the brim down.
