I have removed the wire from the Akubras that I own after following the directions posted here on the forum. The result is that they all fit more comfortably and tend not shrink after wearing as they had in the past. Two of my six Akubras needed to be worn into shape again but that was quickly...
Can anybody help me to understand what kind of bash that Akubra Sombrero is supposed to be. Is that the way Akubra sends it out? This has perplexed me since the first time I saw it. If it appears that this is a very dumb question please go easy on me ... my own curiosity as to what others think...
The Akubras I have purchased new run a little large until worn a couple of times and they do get smaller and fit perfectly. I am a true 7 1/8th. The ones I have picked up used have run true to size.

It is a shame you have to go through the return process and wait for a new hat but it is for the best. I am sure that you won't get two hats with the same problem though I wish you well. :)
In reply to the original topic here are couple of photos of my black Kiandra. It is the most dramatic...
