Doing my bit to stimulate the (Akubra) Economy

Having pined after one for months and months, I just this moment broke down and ordered a Federation IV Deluxe in Dark Brown from Hats Direct. I refuse to think of this as profligacy, I am, in fact, stimulating the economy! What is good for Akubra is good for the country.

Now I just hope the dratted thing suits me.

Edit: I think Keynes would approve.

Keynes might approve more if you'd ordered a Homburg. Tee hee.
True enough, but I already have a fine homburg. If Akubra produced a Heritage grade homburg I could perhaps be tempted to acquire another sooner than I anticipated.

Good job :)
I am pretty sure that you will make that Fed look stellar. Please post a pic here when you can...
I hope so. I am told a high crown and wide brim suit a chap verging on the spherical.

Hoorah! Well done! I'm sure Kevin 07 would approve! Boo Yah to rescue packages let headwear and style show the way!

Quite inspired me - off to City Hatters for a browse tomorrow and my tailor on the weekend.

Rot to insulation!*

I just recieved an email from Hats Direct informing me they were out of stock but should have more tomorrow or the day after. So, my stimulus package is delayed. Is this how the Prime Minister feels?
This is as close as I will go to politics, worry not.
