Other people said they ordered one. Maybe we'll have to change it to the Akubra Adventurer Gang of Four.

007, no question, these all have a bit of 'give'. More so even than my reg. Federation w/ the 'Imperial' felt... far better sweatband too in the 'Heritage' felt line, both of which bode well if you plan to give this a bit of a stretch. If you haven't yet invested in a small stretcher, it might be justified now... I am, myself, either a 59 or 60, depending... & my 59 fit as though it were made for me.
Rick Blaine said:[fftopic: - where are you in AB.? My wife is a 3rd generation Calgarian (her G'pa was at the 1st Stampede! All grew up in Bridgeland.) & if I had my druthers, I'd be north of the 48th!!! I absolutely love Alberta, I am homesick for it now. In fact here are three pins that are soon to be on three of my vintage fedoras ;
The 3rd one is my fav .... we now return your your regularly scheduled "Akubra Adventurer Alliance" thread...
007 said:...I'm in the Red Deer area. I always liked Calgary and lived there for about a year a while back. It's a nice city. They were busy widening 16th Ave last time I was down there. Knocked down a lot of old stores and houses to do it. Progress, I guess. Peter's Drive-in is still there and as busy as ever. Burgers and shakes are still as good.

The 3rd one is my fav

For those of you that got the adventurer...what would you say it reminds you of?...What other Akubra is similar in it's texture...what about a vintage hat...is it softer in comparison?....
Thanks

Colby Jack said:That Lee is gorgeous!...
Rick Blaine said:Yeah that Lee was a hell of a deal, I got it for less than $3.00 as a 'buy it now' mislisted under 'western/cowboy'
