If a man is wearing a jacket with an open breast pocket, the pocket should have a square in it. A well dressed man should always have a pocket...

    AKUBRA COOBER PEADY QUESTION

    I have an Akubra Coober Peady that my Dad bought back in 1995. I inherited it the next year and wear it occasionally during the winter. It's a great hat, but the crown is VERY STIFF. So stiff that I can't change the original bash. Are the Campdraft and Fed Akubras also this stiff?
