Liner removed in anger
No liner here It is the only way I can wear a felt hat in any season. I thought I was the only one who took out the liner in my felt hats.- Akubra Man

At what temperature do you change your hat?
Did not change to straw except when extremely hot This year I only changed to a straw when the temp hovered around 30C...when lower temps were around I stuck with a couple of vented Akubras. They worked well for me as I adjusted to wearing felt hats in the summer. I am surprised at how...- Akubra Man

Todds Indy Jacket
I picked up a pair of Todd's boots because I was curious as to how they would fit and wear and did not want to go right to buying the expensive Aldens first. I had no idea how this style of boot would work for me .... I wear Blundstones and love them. I am sold on this style of boot now and...- Akubra Man

Seasons for your hats
Just started wearing a felt hat in summer It usually gets real hot for a couple of months up north here in Winnipeg, Canada. It is a dry heat but still hot high consistently in the 80s to mid 90s with a big wide sky from horizon to horizon in summer. We are in flat prairie country up here just...- Akubra Man

Can't help it, I like how I look in a felt hat
I concur ... felt hats look better I put away my straw hats this summer after feeling that I did not look as good as I did in a fur felt. It is usually a warm place here in Winnipeg, Canada in summer but this summer has been a wet and cooler one. I made the change and have stuck to it even in...- Akubra Man

Akubra Riverina Owners
I have a Riverina in an olive color. It is in my regular rotation and it is my most versatile hat. With a khaki pugaree it becomes a safari style and with a grosgrain ribbon band and bound brim edge it looks dressier. With the original round braid leather band it is a good looking casual hat. It...- Akubra Man

Felt hats in summer..
Up just above the 49th parallel approximately 45 miles north of the US border at North Dakota, in Winnipeg, Canada summer temps will stay in the 80's and move into the 90's too ... I can only handle wearing straw. Right now it has been warm enough already for a few days to switch to straw. I...- Akubra Man

Irrational hatred of hats
Not very evolved are they .. they are going to have to keep coming back until they get it right. lol Be at peace knowing that it is their problem not yours and just enjoy being you. My favorite saying sums up my philosophy on dealing with people like this ... "they can keep on raining and I'll...- Akubra Man

Stretching
Do not steam a leather sweat band ... I tried this once and destroyed the leather sweat band in a Snowy River :( and ended up having to learn how to replace a leather sweat band ... learn from my mistake and keep the steam to the outside of the hat and away from the inside.- Akubra Man

"Too much crown"
From your writing it does not seem that there was offered an exchange of $$$ for the service of bashing your hat. Also, you do not note that these people sold you the hat. If this is how it was then I think that these people wanted to provide you with some kind of a service and charge you for...- Akubra Man
