    Yes indeed Mario. Fantastic, classic look as always. But turn around slowly....there's a crowd of Bottle People trying to sneak out the door! :eek:

    No problem Jimmy. I never had you pegged as a taper nazi. And I'll check out the diamond and compare the side taper.

    The Akubra Squatter

    That's interesting elvis. So Akubra may have fiddled with their Squatter specs after all! I asked my local hatter why Akubra doesn't produce a high crowned town hat these days (and even most of its country hats are given a low crown bash). "Nobody wants high crowns these days - except you...

    Squatter sure is a strange name for a hat....or a person. "What do you do for a crust?" "I squat". Just doesn't seem right does it. Yet here in Australia back in the 19th Century we had what became known as the Squatocracy - a powerful band of land barons who paid nothing (squat diddly!) for...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It's a big place that Outback - and contrary to the popular image, most Aussies live in cities on the coast. I did once hire an airplane and venture forth into the gulf country of Qld, stopped off in several places including the Purple Pub in Normanton (where I had the biggest and best...

    Now there's a thought, rlk. Traditionally the low crown, pork-pie bash does have a fairly flat brim. And that's the thing with good felt lids - you can have it both ways...or any way at all...with a bit of steam and imagination.

    The Akubra Squatter

    I'm no expert on Nicole Kidman's hats, Sam, but as Dr Strange says below, one of Australia's leading hatters (Rosie Boylan) worked with the costume design folk and modified Akubras to suit the role. In the photos provided by Dr Strange, it does look like a modified Squatter. By the way I've...

    Thanks Billy and Mario, I'm fairly sure this one'll get past Mr P's Brim Police.

    The Akubra Squatter

    I think I agree with you elvisroe - the higher crown suits my melon better. As for taper, here's a profile shot:

    The Akubra Squatter

    The Squatter remodelled The other day I wore the Squatter with a teardrop and low crown, much as they have been worn by generations of Aussies. It looked like this: There was some discussion as to whether it would look better with a low or a high crown. As much as I liked that teardrop...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Akubra Squatter - Then & Now A few days ago I wore the Akubra Squatter with a deep telescope teardrop and low crown like this (which is not too far from the traditional look of the Squatter): Well ok. Never let it be said that I can't cop criticism. Mario felt that the crown was a bit...
