Time to get out the Fall hiking hats. A black and a gray Stockman. I like these for hiking because the short, down turned brims give just enough protection for my ears and neck, but don't rub on my backpack. I re- bashed the gray one
Nine looking hats. I feel silly wearing most cowboy hats; however, the Akubra Cattleman and the Tableland are versatile hats that don't make me feel like a poser. I much prefer them to American cowboy hats for casual wear (I don't even own a horse).Time to get out the Fall hiking hats. A black and a gray Stockman.

This is one of the reasons I like the outback style hats over most of my Fedoras. With the curved brim I can wear my hat while driving without it hitting the headrest.Time to get out the Fall hiking hats. A black and a gray Stockman.

Thank you, my favorite hats are vintage western, even though I haven't owned a horse for many years. Western hats and outback hats are far more common than fedoras where I live. I like them both. I also wear a Camp draft very often and my wife has a Pastoralist. Akubras are hard to beat in the back country, in my opinion.
I would like to own another one also. Although you don't have to own a horse to appreciate western attire. I often dress western, but not cowboy, there is a difference.

Thank you, I just soaked it down with distilled water from a spray bottle to get the crown open, then the center dent, and let it dry. I then steamed in the side dents.
Willebe, that Cattleman looks good on you! It's one of my favorite Akubras, I like em! What part of Ky are you from? I'm here in the Bluegrass state too.New Cattleman arrived. I really like the shape of these hats.

Hey, Preacher Man. I am outside of Lexington. Are we neighbors?
I like this hat! After seeing yours and Hurricane Jack's, I realize how much I like them. Looked at them on line last night. Another Akubra on my list!New Cattleman arrived. I really like the shape of these hats.

Nice crease, looks light blue.Wearing my MSCD today.
Moonstone is more of a light to medium blue gray. It is photographing more blueish due to the cold morning light inside my truck. My truck interior is gray also, photographing the same as the hat.
thanks Jack, I must consider it as a colour options next time I akubra.
The true color of Akubra's Moonstone can be difficult to capture accurately in photographs, especially depending on the lighting conditions; brighter lighting seems to bring out the blue hue more than dimmer/subdued lighting.
I don't think you can go wrong with a Cattleman. It feels great and looks great.
Willebe, I'm outside of Lexington too, 35 miles south, down 27 in Stanford. Lincoln County.
