Nice thread re-rail, Brent. I'm curious how many grams the westlite ends up being. Please let us know once in hand.

Niiice.
I've never weighed mine, and never thought of it as espaecially light. I'll have to put it on the scale.
Color? Please?

Akubra's Hampton quickly became my second favorite Akubra (behind the Fed IV). I want to get two more, but the colors (Graphite Grey and Federation Navy) appear to only be available through specific Australian vendors and none of them are shipping internationally (to the U.S.) until this whole COVID-19 thing calms down.Just scored a new Akubra Hampton in cruiser grey, I fully blame the forum for enabling this purchase lol.
Was another forum member after one, I had seen one in my passing a week or two before. After finding where it was for them and seeing it in the custom colour in stock somewhere ready to ship I had to have myself one lol.
That's a nice hat, Brent. I like the one I've got, but I admit I haven't weighed it.Okay, I don’t have it in hand yet, but here’s a new hat that I just bought:

View attachment 263828 Got my first Portis a week ago.
Says Lite Wate on the cool, scenic liner, but Tissue weight on the sweat. A lil weird.
Also on the sweat, “The New Slant”.
Don’t know what that means, though I have seen several of these, but in different styles.
I liked this hat a lot, but it suffered from too much crown taper. I reblocked it solving that problem. View attachment 263833 View attachment 263832 View attachment 263834 View attachment 263830 View attachment 263831

I have almost the same hat as this. It is my fave Borsa. I call it my Borsa western as I gave it more western bash.A very generous @Randall Renshaw agreed to make a trade with me and I ended up with this:

I only hope out horse trading was fair for Randall. He’s generous to a fault and I had to throw in a second hat to assuage my conscience.
I will say that while I’m not looking to take the crown from @Joao Encarnado or @Yahoody , I’ve found that these more modest sized hats look a lot better on my hat rack than on my head. I’m giving it some time, but this hat might be looking for a new home as it just feels small on me; not the 7 5/8 which is true-to-size, but just the whole hat.
Thanks again, Randall!
