creased height 3 7/8" (from brim break to the 'valley' in the front pinch, peaks at about 4 1/4"), 2 1/8" underwelt brim. Interesting brown Heather long hair finish and woven band. There's one slight imperfection in the band visible in the first picture, but it's less readily apparent in person...
Haven't worn this in years, and the crown is just a smidgen too tall for my face. And now I need the space! Size 56 that is tight, as Akubras are after they're broken in.
Asking $65 + shipping

somebody on Instagram randomly offered me $300 for this one. I told him it's not for sale...unless I found one in black and better condition.* Not only have I wanted a real deal Boss Raw Edge for many years, the store imprint for this one gives me some reasonable certainly that this is 100+...
If you could put them all in a line, they're fairly distinct.
Raiders is the most unique because of the tight pinch front which goes all the way to the ribbon. It also has the infamous 'turn.'
The Temple of Doom hat is shorter, and purportedly at least one contractually obligated shot of a...

I really like Elk, even though it's likely not a color I'd select for myself. Neptune blue is drop dead gorgeous. I feel like I would like onyx, though I've liked all their 'black-but-subtly-not-black' colors like space and lava.
