Tips for best "all weather" hat
I wasnt that sure myself regarding the size. Measuring 61.5cm with a long oval head I got a size 62 with both my Akubra Felt hats and they immediately fell over my ears. Affter some wear and careful application of hot tap-water and a hair-dryer on the sides of the crown (just the 3-4cm above the...- Kreissaege

Akubra Campdraft
Thank you all. I really like the idea about having a ever so slightly less casual thin-ribboned hat instead of one with the standard wide ribbon, since I never ever wear formal clothes but am more the outdoor-type. 20 years of working in a store carrying mountaineering and outdoor equipment...- Kreissaege

Akubra Campdraft
Thank you. So it will be one in mid brown and one probably in taupe fawn for me sometime in the future, since the silverbelly appears to be a light grey and I am not too sure yet about the greenish one. Its so difficult to judge the colours in all the different pics, because the particular light...- Kreissaege

Akubra Campdraft
Why does the crown appear so high? I am looking into a future purchase of the CD as a hat less formal than those real dress hats, but less casual than, say, a BP. Everythingaustralian.com claims, the CD has a crown height of 10.5cm, which is in the Ballpark of the Banjo Paterson (11.0cm) and...- Kreissaege

Panama Hat Thread
Thank you for this, itI had exactly this posting in mind when I gave my head the first work-over!

My next one from PanamaBob will...- Kreissaege

Panama Hat Thread
Hello Thank you very much for this excellent offer. Here in germany, the chance to find someone doing a reblock is almost nil. The problem with mailing it, however, is that german mail charges an arm and a leg to send a bigger parcel over the pond: € 34 = $ 49.00. Which is far too much for...- Kreissaege

Panama Hat Thread
My quarto fino from PanamaBob It arrived some time ago and I am still not finished with re-shaping it. Out of the box it showed the extreme wavy brim due to a LO head. Then after the first session of steam, warm water, ironing and lots of books to press with, it has progressed to lots and...- Kreissaege

Akubra Overload
Banjo Paterson and Leisure Time My two new hats. They arrived a bit battered and since I had to shape the crown for my high and long oval head anyway, here are the results. In case you wonder, how different the colour of the BP in the first three pictures appears, the first and the last of...- Kreissaege

Stretching an Akubra
I must admit that I have been bitten by the bug: Got the first one, a Banjo Paterson Already ordered the second one, a Leisure Time. And in the long run I would like to have something crushable, like the Traveller. Having a head circumference of 61.5cm I would like to know if you would...- Kreissaege

Lots of dents to remove
My new Akubra BP came with lots of small dents all around the crown, which I want to remove. My idea was to apply steam and roll a smooth bottle inside the crown with the latter resting on a smooth surface. What do you think? I already removed the lining. Sort of accidentally, because when...- Kreissaege

Hasidic Jews and the Fedora
I´d rather say that no policeman has the right to criticize a citizen for wearing anything "Gaudy". Even in a country where, for example, kids are forbiden to wear black shirts in school for fear they could run Amok, this is wholly inappropriate.- Kreissaege
