Two Akubra hats for sale, both size 59.
I'm selling because I'm thrilled with my recently arrived Squatter, and I really only need one hat. (Shocking on this board, I know!)
I wore these two purely as rain hats while commuting. If it wasn't raining, or threatening rain, I didn't wear 'em.

$80 shipped ground to CONUS (other shipping methods and destinations by arrangement)
The SM is a little over a year old and saw the most use as my commuter hat. Still in very good shape. It's quite soft, having arrived soft and softened up further as I've worn it. While soft, it's not floppy -- the crown and brim still hold their shape well. Fairly loose on my head when it arrived, it's now a touch snug and were I to keep it, I'd stretch it out just a bit.
Note the close-up picture: there's a faint, finger-print size discoloration on the underside of the brim. No idea where it came from or how it got there. I didn't even notice it until recently, and it's not noticeable at all while wearing the hat.

$85 shipped ground to CONUS (other shipping methods and destinations by arrangement)
The Cattleman I acquired a few months ago from a guy who wore it gently, and I've only worn it myself once or twice. I used a hat-stretcher to gently try to turn it into more of a long oval shape, never really completed the process, and realized recently I slightly misaligned the oval relative to the pinch. Easy to re-align with a bit of steam and a hat stretcher, I just haven't bothered to do so since I haven't been commuting recently...and especially now that my Squatter has arrived.
