Come on people. Someone's gotta have another Akubra to post...I'm tapped out for a while...

Banjo,BanjoMerlin said:So I got this hat I thought was an Akubra Slouch hat but it doesn't seem to meet the criteria I see in the on-line descriptions. The hat is Khaki - tan, not the greenish olive-drab I see in the photos. There is a Liner and the descriptions all say "un-lined." It is marked size 7 3/8 with no cm marking at all. BTW it has shrunk a bit and isn't a bad fit on my 7 3/16 LO head.
So have I got some kind of a fake? Or is this just some non-catalog version?
Couldn't get photos with it on my head, fortunate for you folks.

It really is this color.

With a lining that assures me it is an Akubra Imperial Quality

And the sweatband label which also assures me it is an Akubra.

I ask because today I succumbed. Ordered my first Akubra. Which just happened to be.........a Banjo Paterson in fawn. If it looks as good as this one I'll be very happy.
A few months ago I barely knew what an Akubra was but thanks to many hours browsing this forum my knowledge of (and desire for) these fine products has grown exponentially. Thanks to all!
Can't wait for it to turn up now.
