Absolutely, no offense taken. I got the link from an older post here on the lounge, but better play safe anyway. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for understanding and taking the extra step!
I am actually familiar with this photo and am 99.99% sure that this is an Akubra Campdraft.
Unfortunately, I don't believe the brown version is available any longer (I don't remember the official name of the color, though it's not 'brown').
A quick search shows sand, black and bluegrass green are available at David Morgan or The Hattery. You can also get Campdrafts from most Akubra sellers, those are just the two I have used. You might also get lucky and find one of the brown ones on eBay from time to time. I have one and love it, though mine did taper quite a bit in the crown (that happens sometimes with Akubra - quality contol is not their strong suit).

RM Williams still has them. Calling it mid brown. Kinda pricey for a Campdraft but ya know. Lol

I forgot about fhe RM Williams hat - didn't realize they still make them. Not quite the same as a Campdraft but it is close.

It is very close. Not sure if there is a noticeable difference. Here is at least one dedicated thread:

My Akubra "RM" is very much like my Campdrafts, but it is not a snap brim hat like the Campdraft is. The RM brim is more of a typical "outback" shape - flat out on the sides, sloped down slightly front and back. Otherwise I think they're the same hat, dimensionally anyway. Looks to me that the hat in the photo could be a Campdraft, or something very similar, with the brim snapped up all around.
Either model is a great hat, just depends on the brim style you prefer. I like the outback style on my casual and western hats, and a snap brim on my "dressier" ones, so I appreciate them both.
Good luck with your choice, BdSal!
I've looked at the RM, but while on paper and from people's descriptions they appear close, to me they look very different in pictures. Especially the product photos on their website. The RM crown looks very tapered and disproportionately tall, in my opinion. I like the straightness and proportions of the hat in the pic I attached.
Too bad they don't do the Campdraft in a darker color other than black. I really like the mid and dark brown tones of other hats.
Thanks for the help identifying that!
