no worries. I think I'm up to 10 Akubras in like 8 months. You got the bug, but it's cool, a lot worse things you could be addicted to. I sent you the info. 2 really nice ones, acorn and regency fawn. And I'm throwing in 2 other hats for free basically just to clear out the closet.
I most definitely have the bug, I'm at 10 hats in 6 months.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. Have you ever tried reshaping it to LO?
Thanks for the info.
The best thing you can do to make a new Akubra hat fit more snug is to wear it and sweat in it. The moisture and sodium in our perspiration dehydrate the leather Akubra uses for their sweatbands, which causes it to shrink slightly, which usually results in a better fit.
Thank you
I have four Akubras, all size 60. My 1960s Stylemaster fits beautifully. My Cattleman (not sure how old it is) is a little big but not so much. It works ok with a little felt strip behind the sweatband. My 1980s Snowy River was too small. It required quite a bit of work with the hat stretcher, but it’s a nice size now. The only one I bought new was a summer hemp Range. It’s big. It’s in a box for the dry winter. We’ll see in a few months how it has handled its time in storage.
