I have a question about dying a brown hat to maroon. It's a fur-felt hat, cotton sweat rather than leather so in theory I should not have to worry too much about shrinkage. I have removed the liner as well as It was really bad in the summer and stuck to my head all the time.
Can anyone tell me...
Final work hat of the day for me in 2024 (I'm not breaking up for Christmas, I'm just not normally allowed to wear hats at work)
Akubra Snowy River, Rounded the crown into a more traditional Pork Pie, and folded the brim down in one corner ala Oppenheimer. The rabbit pin is in memory of my...
Hat of the day is my Agnoulita "Fleck Fur" in oatmeal/Wood colour. It has a kind of "Gus" crease, but I'm not very good at that style of crease so its a work in progress haha
That's a shame they don't post anymore, but I will look back through the thread and see if there is any mention of this particular hat. I will say it is growing on me, so I may not be as eager to move it on.
EDIT: having just double-checked the photos of earlier posts which match the advert and...
I have purchased this hat recently from eBay. I believe it is an oatmeal colour, but I am not sure about the colour of the band. I have tried to match it with the website, but as there are many choices, it's between a few colours.

Just purchased this off eBay, so yet to arrive but a Snowy River (used)
The brim is the wrong shape and they've added a stinger, but otherwise looks ok.
It's perhaps best known in the UK for being worn by the "Celebrities" who do that god-awful Jungle show.
I know Richard Hammond wore one on...
Hi Will, welcome to the forum.
I would advise you to use the Etsy store if you have a lot of enquiries.
They are very good at answering questions and in my case, very helpful at deciding which shade would be best suited for my needs.
My hat is bottle green, but if you compare the colour of...
Hi all, latest arrival today and I know I'm not the first on the forum to buy an Akubra slouch from a particular internet auction site.
2001, 62cm. I plan to remove the clip that holds the brim up and give it more of a fedora bash. As some of you may know, they don't come with a hat band or...
Jack, do you have a rough date for this hat? I have purchased one that has the same liner, sweat band and size tag design, I thought it was late 60's (maybe 67/68?) but it could be 70's?
Hi I'm sorry if I'm resurrecting an old thread, and I have posted this hat elsewhere. This is my offering to the Akubra/stetson partnership. I've been trying to date it for some time, I believe it to be an earlyish 50's (1953/1954). I didn't think it was a Stratoliner at first as the ribbon is...
