My new DM Akubra Adventurer, opinions please

[ninman]

So here are some pictures of my new DM Akubra Adventurer with a Raiders style bash in it. Note, I didn't put the turn in it because I found that a little uncomfortable, but I've tried to get the general shape to match up. Let me know what you think.

Ninman, I think it looks great! You did a very good job on that bash too. I like it, good job! Wear it well.

 

[Bob Roberts]

Nice. No turn needed.

Thank you. Interestingly I get a lot of comments about it, because where I live people don't wear hats. This guy at work said it doesn't look like Indiana Jones' hat because it's not distressed enough.

Doesn't need to be distressed. You'll break it in and make it your own by tweaking the brim and crease n pinch if you want. Great color too. Enjoy it.

Looks good. What are the dimensions on that? And in most of the pics it looks dark brown, but in the mirror head shot it appears more charcoal gray -- is it a dark brown with undertones of gray?

Great shape on that one.

And you know what that guy at work can do with his opinion, right?

So the front pinch is about 4.5" tall, the rear pinch is around 4". Unbashed it's about 5.5". The two side dents are around 4" wide. One dent is slightly bigger than the other, but that's just because I did it by hand, although obviously I got them as close as I could.

I'm not sure about the colour. According to David Morgan's website it's dark brown, but I'm quite colour blind so to me it looks a little green. The difference in the pictures is because the one in the mirror was under a more natural light, but the others were your standard neon lights.

Since I wrote to you I looked on DM's site. The brim, they say, is dimensional: 3 1/8" front and back, and 2 3/4" on the sides.

Yes it is. I would say the brim is very similar to the Raiders brim, at least in my opinion. On the website the pictures show the rear brim really drooping down quite a bit, but on my hat at least it's actually flat and the front brim droops down the way. When you wear it you can really see the brim shape from Raiders. If I'd put the turn in it and the upward swoop then I think it would look almost identical to the Raiders hat.

Nice job! The Adventurer brim is a little wider all around than the actual Indy hats, but that in no way detracts from how good it looks -- and it does offer a little more sun protection as a bonus. Have fun wearing it
