Great thread. I want to buy an Akubra cattleman but right now shipping is tough from Australia.
However, I found a U.S. retailer that sells them, but they have a lining and a chin strap hole?
All the Australian sights I've seen say they are unlined and no chin strap hole.
Do you know, because...
Maybe you can help: I'm interested in the Akubra Cattleman hat and would like to purchase one.

Recently, just for fun I decided to shape the brim from turned down all around as it originally came.
With a little steam I transformed the brim into a more western look with the sides upwards.

I usually wear a size 57cm. 71/8 in Stetsons, head measurement is 22.5".

Charcoal gray and the felt is a little longer.Looks great with a 17/8 brim and a wide ribbon.
Inside the crown it says antica casa and Diamante 25 on the sweatband.
It has an underwelt brim cannot even notice any stitching, beautifully...
Now I'm thinking about cutting the three stitches that attaches the hat to the brim, if that will give me a little more roominess?
Any ideas about that, I don't want to ruin the hat.
Thanks.
I recently purchased a patchwork 100% wool cap from Ireland-Mucros weavers.
I ordered the size small as their hat sizing guide recommended for a 56-57cm.
The hat's brim is sewn and the hat is very shallow, can only pull it down so far.
If I shake my head the cap falls off.
The cost of returning...
Help!!
I want to buy a new Borsalino, either the Como or the Classic, which is less expensive.
From what I've been reading on Borsalino it sounds like I should stay away from them?
Are they made of rabbit felt or wool?
Maybe my only alternative is a Stetson Chatham, sovereign quality.
My Stetson...

Oh yeah,here's the original Young's hat box it came in
I was so excited with the hat I forgot about the box.
The hat box is in pretty good shape for it's age?
Well today my vintage Stetson derby arrived.
Originally sold by Young's of New York.
To me it's a beauty and a perfect fit to boot!!!
Here are some pictures I took of it as soon as I got home from work and opened the box.
It looks almost new
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Hi,
I just purchased a Stetson derby on ebay and the hat is stamped with the Young's logo .
It also came with the original Young's hat box.
Also curious I found some info. on Young's in New York and they were the largest hat retailers in the world in the 1930's.
The derby is mint!!see pictures...
I wanted to know if I paid a good price for the hat and original Young's hat box and if the hat is from the 1930's?
It looks mint to me, but I really have to wait until it arrives to see for myself.
I paid $75.00!!
