It's a centerdent with a bout a 2 1.4 inch bound brim. The feather and the bow are also on the back???
Have to wait download pics...
Any idea as to the year?
Is Stevens a known brand?
Is yours the Superfine? I've seen Superfine listed on a couple of hat sites (Yates Menswear comes to mind), but I could never get a satisfactory answer out of them to that same question. In other words, I know that Heritage grade is Akubra's top of the line felt, and Imperial quality is below that. I say that I "know," but I'm really just judging from the prices. I don't know for certain where Superfine fits, but I'm guessing that it's below Imperial. (Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not knockin' that new lid of yours. It's a looker.)Yeps said:I have not been able to find a good answer to this, so I will ask myself.
What exactly is Akubra's Superfine/featherweight felt, and how does it compare to the other felts? I just got a squatter (from Strand Hatters by way of my sister) and I was surprised to see that it was not the Imperial quality. Please enlighten me.
