    Akubra Overload

    My Tawny Fawn Fed took the most work to shape of all of my hats. I enjoyed the challenge and the end result. I feel the work really makes it my own. Steven

    Akubra Overload

    On the Tawny Fawn that’s basically what I did. I steamed the brim 1/4 of the way around at a time until I achieved my desired results. I added a little extra dip at the front might be a better term than snap. It looks good to me so that’s how it will stay. The Moonstone actually snaps and stays...

    Akubra Overload

    I was able to coax the flange of the brim exactly how I wanted. I gave the front a little extra “snap down” because it would not stay down on its own. My Moonstone has a perfect flange and snap to the brim. Steven

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    That make better sense. I was thinking that was a fine looking child’s hat if it was USA size. :)

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Size 5 1/2 is pretty small. How common was that back in the day? Steven

    I have 6 Neon Tetras, 3 male Guppies and 2 Ghost Shrimp. I have a smaller aquarium with a male Betta. He has to stay by himself because he thinks everything that swims in the an aquarium is food for him. :) Steven

    Here are my Fed IV’s. Tawny Fawn Moonstone Side by Side A pleasant surprise was a hand written note from Naomi and Trudi at The Hattery. It is the type of touch that has secured me as a future customer. Steven

    Akubra Overload

    l have one in Moonstone, I just haven’t opened the box yet. I think it will be a great compliment to my Carbon Grey Stylemaster. Steven

    Akubra Overload

    Well I opened one of my Fed IV’s today. The box was damaged by the shipment but the hat was in excellent condition. I’m very pleased with Akubra’s quality for the price. The Tawny Fawn is lighter in color than my Regency Fawn Sydney. If I have one complaint on the Fed IV I opened, I wish it had...

    Akubra Sydney

    To my eye the Regency Fawn look tan with a grey look to it. The Sydney is a raw edge and the Stylemaster has a bound edge. I re-bashed the Stylemaster from a C crown or teardrop to a diamond. It was quite easy. The Carbon Grey Stylemaster is a great dark grey color. I love it’s look. I posted...

    Your box and mine must have been on the same delivery shipment. My daughter picked up the package because my wife was at work. She said the box is torn on the bottom but from what she could tell the hat in that box looked fine. Steven

    Akubra Overload

    Well my Fed IV’s arrived today. I’m stuck at work until tomorrow. I kind of feel like a child on Christmas Eve waiting for morning so I can get my presents. :) Steven

    Akubra Sydney

    I have an Akubra Sydney in Regency Fawn. It is a wonderful hat. It took my diamond bash dry very well. After it got rained on I refined the crease a little more. It has yet to pop out. The Stylemaster is a very good hat as well. The dimensions are the same as the Sydney it just does not come in...

    Hats you like all out of proportion to their quality

    I know some hats just feel right. This is definitely where my lost cost ivory Silver Creek hat fits in. I was not pleased with it’s outback style, so I trimmed the brim to 2 1/2” gave it a sharp diamond crease. After that I changed the brim so it would have a classic fedora look. Steven

    Akubra Overload

    Well the USPS deliver my Fed IV’s today. So much for delivery tracking and updates. :( Hopefully they will get delivered tomorrow. The bad part of that is I work a 24 hour shift at the fire department. Steven

    That’s a great looking hat. Awesome find, wear it with pride. Steven
