Searching for my next hat

[stratcat]

Can't comment on the color choices. Can tell you the Fed IV looks great on you.

Thank you very much!

I like the look of the first if I look hard enough. The color makes it hard for me to see the crease.

I like the look of the Fed IV.

It's very difficult to buy a hat without trying it on because of first, the exact fit (the makers seem to vary), and second, you just never know how a certain style will look until you see it in the mirror. Of the above photos, I like the Fed IV on you. Have you checked out the Stetson Premier Stratoliner? Delmonico has a sale on them right now and they're very nice.

Thanks for the comments so far gentlemen, keep them coming

Yes, sorry, the photo's were just quick snaps, I think my avatar shows the fed creases a little better, it's really just a simple centre dent.

Thanks Bob, I live so far away from a hat shop it might as well be on the other side of Mars! OK, a bit of an exageration, but despite there once being a massive hat industry in my once home town of Stockport, the UK is almost bereft of a 'proper' hat shop. Although I noticed yesterday that I can buy a nice wooly alpaca hat from my local market[huh]
I'll definitely take a look at the Stratoliner though, thanks.

 

[Rogera]

Fed IV for sure

 

[beetleything]

That Fed IV looks great!!

I like it so much that i am going to have to get one.

I think another in Moonstone is a good idea.

I like the Campdraft too ( like a Stratoliner) & that in Moonstone would be nice.

 

[MikePotts]

I guess it depends what 'look' you're going for?

The Fed is definitely more 'rock star', the Jaxon more 'bookie'.

 

[DJH]

F IV all the way!

 

[stratcat]

Thank you for your opinions everyone.
I can see another Fed IV in my future

buying a new akubra fedora

hi gang
im buying a new fedora for myself for christmas from everything austrailian .
im looking at the safari hat which is a taller coober peady but with a shorter brim has anyone had any experiance with this model?
also if you were looking for a new akubra fedora (price doesnt matter ) what would it be and why?
thanks
charlie

 

[RJR]

I'd go for a Fed IV.

 

[PHIL1959]

I have two stylemasters,great hats. one in carbon the other in moonstone.although i like the carbon, the moonstone is better!

 

[Bad Co]

I have well over 100 Akubra's several in each model and color
It's my belief that they are the best production hat made
You will not regret the purchase
My personal favorites are the Sydney , Squatter , Federation, Adventurer , Campdraft , Bobby, & Sombrero in that order
Or the one that's on my head at the time
Enjoy

im still leaning toward the safari and getting a tear drop pinch front bash on it .
also since im going to make it my everyday hat im getting it with a kangaroo thong chin strap lol (that doesnt even sound right together ):eeek:

Have you any storage solutions that you could pass on?

That was my first thought, rapidly followed by the thought "my wife would kill me"

I'd like to try the Pro 30X to see how the beaver fur blend is done by Akubra. They make a good using hat without the beaver, so with should be interesting.
