Akubra Bogart in Carbon Grey review
Greetings everyone. I noticed that there is not at time of writing a dedicated review on this hat on this forum so thought I would post one: My Akubra Bogart in Carbon Grey: I've had this hat for about six months and really love it. It has a 64mm brim with bound edge, 38mm ribbon band, and... -

What a coincidence - I just ordered exactly the same hat: same size and colour! You're too far away from me to make shipping worthwhile, but the convergence of events is rather spooky nonetheless... Good luck with the sale!- GLB Pro

"Formal" Straw Hats
I suggest checking out the Akubra straw range - the Zephyr, Capricorn and other fedora-styled straws that they have. I recently posted a review of the Zephyr that might interest you. I think it's interesting that how formal something is considered is very much dependent on local culture and... -
Summer hat: palm or felt?
Where I live is summer all year round and I am still experimenting with different solutions. Evidently a panama is ideal for hot and humid conditions but if it rains it will turn into a limp rag. My experience is that rain, even very heavy tropical rain, will not destroy a panama, but it will... -
Akubra Zephyr review
Hello Kirk! I actually considered the Capricorn - the main differences that I can see is that the brim is 10mm shorter than the Zephyr and turned up in the back, whereas the Zephyr brim is designed to be worn brim down all the way around. The brim is ok - I wouldn't want it any smaller. When... -

Anybody re-shaped an Akubra hemp-braid straw w/water or steam?
Hmm, the sweatband should be leather - did you purchase an unusually large size? I think 62 and above are cloth. -

Hello William, have you had a chance to wear your Balmoral in the rain? I'd like to try out a Byron and am wondering how it would hold up to our thunderstorms :D Bruno -

Akubra Zephyr review
It's the fawn colour - this hat only comes in one colour at the moment. There are a couple of other models like it in the Akubra range (the Rink, Country Club and Broadbeach) but they have different dimensions and trim. The Zephyr breathes great - the venting system works extremely well and... -

I'm with you there - humidity where I live is usually 60-80%. -

Akubra Zephyr review
Thanks for the alert, have re-posted the missing pictures. Am I correct that posts on this forum remain editable for only a limited period of time? Yes I think Akubra is trying to keep the trim between these and their natural hemp hats consistent. -

Akubra Zephyr review
Hello everyone, new member here. Have used this forum as a resource for many years but never posted before. Thought I'd start by posting a review of my Zephyr :) I purchased this hat as an alternative to my 15 year old Panama which was starting to show some wear and tear. I considered both... -
