Just a quick and dirty colour comparison between Stetson's caribou(L) and Akubra's moonstone(R).

Ladies and gents, I am looking for an Akubra to wear in humid moderately hot summers in the Northwest. Eyeing out the Capricorn and the Balmoral. One the one hand, I prefer the Capricorn's looks as it's similar to a Stylemaster, the narrower brim doesn't dwarf my smaller face. On the other hand, the longer brim on the Balmoral would probably be better for shade.

Would you have any insights/experiences to sway me one way or another? Thanks.

Only you can really answer this as far as what has priority: shade or the smaller size you think looks better.

Have you looked at the Akubra Country Club? It’s my favorite summer Akubra.
