    Best Akubra supplier??

    For me, ordering from Europe, Aussiebushats has the lowest prices for shipping. I called them to ask whether they had the hat in stock and got the answer right away and then ordered online. I dont know how fast the delivery will be in the end, since my hat, ordered at the 7th of June, was...

    Post New Hats Here!

    My Akubra Balmoral, as supplied by Hatsdirect. Next week I will try and fit a new hatband, as the leather one is wholly inappropiate. Much as I like it, I am quite a bit p****d because Hatsdirect didnt tell in their product description that this size 62 does not come with a leather sweatband...

    Size differences with cloth- or leather sweatband?

    Most important of all, I wouldnt have ordered it, had I known that it comes with a cloth sweatband. Straws with this I can buy locally. I wont return it, because that would be simply too expensive, something I can easily live with if I made a mistake when ordering from abroad. But they should...

    Size differences with cloth- or leather sweatband?

    Thank you for the input. Incidentally, yesterday I received my Akubra "Balmoral" straw hat from Hatsdirect and had the chance to learn the differences in fit between leather and cloth sweatbands. The ordered size 62 has a cloth sweatband (shoddily) sewn in, as opposed to the product...

    Size differences with cloth- or leather sweatband?

    When first browsing this forum, I read about it making a difference of half a size when using a cloth sweatband instead of the standard leather one. Someone had specially ordered a hat with the former to gain half a size. At least, thats what I remember. Is this correct? If yes, it could...

    Replacing a headband

    I havent found info with the search button, maybe I used the wrong words. How does one replace a headband and make this nicely tied knot on the side?

    Hello! And some advice for an Akubra, please!

    If the hats arrive, would you be so kind as to post pictures of you wearing these hats? It makes it easier for me as a newbie to judge their different stiles that way.

    Post New Hats Here!

    You will probably puke :).... ....because this isnt one fine felt hat, but my totally crushable and abusable Tilley LTM6. The BP in 62 and Heritage Fawn is already ordered from www.aussiebushhats.com, who had my size in stock and offered the cheapest p&p.

    Where did your user name come from??

    A "Kreissaege" is the name for this kind of straw hat: but really means this tool: www.hwg-tec.de/media/images/wmax_m-medium.jpg
