There's probably one of the Aussie hat styles at Hats Direct that would be similar, though, and could be adapted in the same way. It was just a matter of removing the original band, adding the pugaree, and a little reshaping of the dents. I was a bit daunted at first, myself, but it was actually really easy. Major kudos to Mike for bringing this to the Lounge.

David Morgan has the Akubra Territory in Fawn for $115.00, they are "rejects" means they have some small holes in the liner. With shipping $124.00. I am planning on putting a pug on the one I ordered. This looks similar to the hat that Kilmer wore in "Ghost and the Darkness". I believe it will go nicely with my Whitworth .375 H&H. Now if I can only find a Cape Buffalo or 2 in the back pasture!

This has been most interesting and informative. My usual safari wears a zebra skin but I just 'safarized' a IJ. I think a Lawrance puggaree is in order . . . In fact, I may just get two of them for when I buy a better safari hat!
