That said, it's a little too small for me, so it sits higher than I'd like and tends to bind a little. I haven't really worn it for quite a while. Expect to see it pop up on ebay some time soon.

If it is a little too small see about getting a hat jack and give it a little stretch! It will make it more comfortable to wear.

nice collection

and good juxtaposition of you WITH hat and the penitent without. isn't there a loaf of bread on the table in front of that man in the picture? someone with some computer skills could alter that to show a nice lid resting there . . .
:)

If you don't mind I am going to "steal" this brim curl look for Dee's stylemaster.:)


Surely someone has a new Akubra to post?

Kao that is perfect the brim and crown look just right, you must think so too because it shows in the pic!:eusa_clap :D

Thanks, IC. It's certainly one to feel dapper in. And thanks for the kind words, everyone.

Looks like I won't have anything new for the Akubra Overload until the weekend.:( I had them sent to my dad's since I would be working all this week. Well he decided to take a trip to the mountains for the week so the hats will be sitting at their neighbors all week.:eusa_doh:
