I've picked up items here on the FL, on Etsy, and on Ebay. Anywhere you look you can get deals, it's a matter of knowing what you're after. Ebay has a much greater selection to browse, so you might have a better chance of finding what you're looking for. And with that greater selection, you...
So last many moons ago, I was watching Crocodile Dundee again (been a while) and decided, out of the blue to start looking into the Akubra Down Under. No one sells the black model, so after a week or so of searching, I found one on ebay. I put in an offer of $38 and sure enough, I got me one...
Actually, found a couple of pics that I believe are yours:

Thanks, but not quite what I'm after. I'd like to try find a "country" style, but with less brim than the Snowy River. Something...
I recently (Monday) acquired an older Snowy River and am not 100% sold on the wider brim. It's in great shape, slightly stiff, but I don't see any issues. I'd like to see if anyone is interested in a trade for another Akubra model with a slightly shorter brim width. The Snowy River is 3 1/4"...
Well, here's the first of my two new Akubras for the week, it's an older Snowy River style, which I'm not 100% sold on the brim, but it's fun wearing something different:
I've got two Akubras coming this week and my Falcon Park next month, so hopefully I'll finally have some new hats to share. In the meantime, great ones all! And RLK, those are some gorgeous straws!
I've got a few pairs as well, two sets of low-tops (in black and charcoal) and high-tops in white.
We have a discount shoe store near here called Super Shoes, and they typically have a couple different colors of Chucks at around $30, which is cheap compared to the mall or shoe store prices for...
I'm going to agree with both on the turn being a major factor. My Akubra Fed IV had some slight taper, even though it definitely had the best block Akubra has used yet. I just redid the crease and included a turn and it's spot on for a Raiders hat now.
Nice hats today all! Makes me feel a little less worthy wearing my wool outback style crushable (replacing this beater with a slightly-used FUR felt Akubra Snowy River soon). :D
But... it's snowing and I'm bummin' it today:
I had considered it since it's my size, but I have the exact same one already and it looks like a replacement ribbon (it's not done the way Stetson did ribbons)... so when the price went too high for my taste, I backed off.
