DM Akubra Adventurer
Sweet. I had a Stylemaster in Moonstone but I like the look of the Fed IV better. -

DM Akubra Adventurer
Moonstone is a great color. I've been toying with getting a moonstone Fed IV. The DM Adventurer seems to be a bit of a different look as it seems from the photo to have a matching ribbon rather than a black one. -

This may be a bit random, but does anyone have both a Banjo Paterson and a Tablelands? I'm trying to get a sense of how tapered the Tablelands is compared to the Banjo. Thanks. -

I've found that once the shipment arrives in the US you get better information putting the tracking number into USPS rather than AP. -

Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)
Do not even think of cancelling the PayPal dispute until you literally have the hat in hand. -

Hat smell...
Thanks. I'll give it a try. I actually did use Scotchgard when I got the hat last year, at the suggestion of the hat store. I've never done that with an Akubra; I believe they are already treated with something, and in any event they seem pretty impervious to weather. I think the current... -

Hat smell...
I've never noticed any odor when I've worn an Akubra in the rain, but when my Stetson Chatham gets just a little wet it develops that "wet dog" smell, which is very off-putting. Any thoughts on why that happens with one brand and not the other? -

It just depends on how soon you want the hat. I believe the timeframes listed on the Hats Direct website are pretty accurate. I think you are charged in Australian dollars. The website shows the US dollar conversion for the hats but not for shipping, as I recall, but that's just for ease of... -

Fed iv and Adventurer
It's interesting how whoever makes the decisions at David Morgan seems to prefer wider brims for their exclusive model hats. The Adventurer has a wider brim than the similar Fed IV, and the Bushman has a wider brim than the similar Campdraft. -

Fed iv and Adventurer
Others will know better than I do, but I think the Adventurer sold by David Morgan has a slightly wider brim than the Fed IV and comes with the brim already turned down in both the front and back. The Adventurwr sold by the Aaudtralian retailers is a different hat -

I love the Fed IV!!
Does the Fed IV work well with the brim turned down all around instead of just in the front? I know the Adventurer sold by David Morgan is made that way, but I'm not crazy about the colors or brim size on that one. -

Quintessential modern production fedora.
I got mine at Meyer the Hatrer in New Orleans. They recommended spraying it with scotchgard or something similar if I planned to have it out in the rain or snow a lot. I did spray it, which did not affect the feel of the felt, but I have not had it out on the rain enough to judge how it will... -

Quintessential modern production fedora.
I just noticed that my Stetson Chatham, which I got last year, says "Sovereign" on the sweatband but "Royal Deluxe" on the box. I have no idea what that means but I like the hat so I don't really care. :) -

I sure do! Bran's a nice color. Seems like they have quite a few hats in bran all of a sudden. -

Thanks! That looks and sounds perfect. My Angler is too hot for this weather even with the vent holes because it's dark and lined. -

Check out the Stylemaster in bluegrass green. I've been eyeing a sand Cattleman for a while. How's it do in ridiculously hot weather like we've been having recently?
