I would definitely be in for a long haired akubra... a Heritage version of the Stockman perhaps..
A long hair Sombrero.... hmmmmmmmmmm
Okay, so Sam emailed me back from Everything Australia about the fuzzy Snowy River, and says that the long haired furfelt was a finish they use to do on a model called the "Jack High". Both the "Jack High" model and the option for the White Snowy River have both been discontinued. It appears that when he put the custom order in for the white Snowy River, this was just what they supplied, and maybe be the only white they had. His exact words were that my hat may now be a "collector piece" lol . The other hat on the order was a Navy hat and he was told that that model in that color was now discontinued which is why the order had to be changed and took a little while longer than normal. So there you go. I just got lucky.
Now, does that mean they have the ability to do a long furfelt and just no longer do it? Would they do a special run in one model if say a bunch of people really wanted one? What model would people want in a shaggy furfelt?
Either way, it's a really nice hat and I'm very happy with it.
i just got my akubra slouch and compared it to my akubra digger from eddie bauer
its the same hat yet the digger has thicker stiffer felt diffrent yet the same
i luvem both equaly
I've got a slouch too. What sort of crease are you going to give it? Post up a pic.

It can be unhooked. There is a hook on the side of the crown. Mine goes up and down, depending on my mood.

cattus your pug rules where did you get it?
it is a compass headingI folded the pug myself. Its not as hard as you might think. Google search "how to fold a pug". This one was only my second attempt.
What is the pin on your hat? It looks like compass headings.
