    Akubra Overload

    Bloody southern news readers lowering the standards again! It's an A - "A-koo-bra" with emphasis on the koo, as Deputy suggested. But I admit to being a pedant.

    Thanks for that Tom. At least you know it's going to a hat-loving home! You say it has shrunk? Is it still a 7 1/4?

    Thanks DM - nice looking guitar by the way. I just can't recall which retail chain the Brents were made for. I'm sure you're right about them being made down to a price, but this price looked ok, so I picked it up.

    For Freedom Alone The Story of Scotland's Declaration of Arbroath, 6 April 1320 - the first time in history that an official document, endorsed by the king (Robert Bruce as it happened), stated that the people had a right to remove a king who did not act in the best interests of the nation.

    No interest at all in this Brent http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370333912397&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT If I remember rightly Brent hats were made by Lee.

    That one was my first vintage fedora and remains a favourite. It's a Stetson from 1958 with embroidered hatband. It's a standard, fairly stiff, felt.

    Thanks Rusty. It's that thin ribbon that grabs you isn't it?! Actually, it's hard to find a rabbit felt crushable these days. Most crushable fedoras are made from wool felt today. This one is incredibly light rabbit felt yet well made and a pleasure to wear. The perfect travel companion.

    They don't make crushable felts like they used to Hopped on a plane this morning for the regional Queensland town of Gladstone with my 50's Stetson Stowaway stuffed in my bag - the perfect crushable felt fedora. From mangled mess to hat in seconds.

    What happens when an Akubra straw gets drenched? For those of you interested in soggy straws I wore my Akubra Balmoral hemp straw hat on what began as a steamy hot subtropical day. After dashing across the city to a meeting I was caught without umbrella in a tropical storm on the way back...

    Hatbox Homage

    Love that Mr P. "Buffalo's Greatest Clothiers" They say nobody's perfect - except in their resume. I guess that applies to their advertising too. Great box.

    Hiya Jabos, I meant to reply earlier that I do love the VS OR and the one worn by your grandfather. That's a wonderful photo. As for your client, my own background prior to law was in the community sector working with the homeless, the alcohol and drug addicted, and the psychologically...
