Hampton vs. Whippet

[mourazav]

Hey everyone. So I'm deciding on either getting an Akubra Hampton or a Whippet but I have no idea what the difference is between the two of them. Does anyone know the brim width and crown height on either of them?

Hey,
the general consensus seems to be that they are the same hat.
There's a discussion going at the moment on the topic...

Exactly the same I am told, the Whippet is in brown and Grey (and a green by special by order), and the Hampton in Black... Hatsonline is the recommendation....I mean hatsdirect....
