There are a lot of spectacular hats here. Just received this one today via EMS while I'm in Vietnam. It's an Akubra Arena. I just love it. It's been years since I wore a cowboy hat and when I first put it on I thought holy cow thats a big brim. It's growing on me though.

It looks massive! What is the brim and crown size?

 

[pmjk]

Joao Encarnado the crown is 5 and 1/2 inches at its tallest point and the brim is 4 and 1/8 inches in width.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Nice!

@RJR

Thank you RJR. This hat brings back memories of my teens in rural Canada. I haven't stepped outside in Vietnam wearing it yet but I imagine I will get some looks.

Hats here just keep getting better! Nice hats all!!!

Bigbuc! I knew an old cowboy from up north Texas that used to say a straw hat was an abomination in the eyes of the Lord! LOL! To each his own!!!

TJones!
You always come up with the nicest hats! And I gotta say I am a big fan of your "campaign ribbon" hats you put together!!! Well done!

To each his own, indeed. I even wear an ivy cap once every now and then. But it's when my real hat doesn't fit in the other persons car.

I agree, fur felt is the only type to wear. I am from AZ and when I used to gather cattle with my cousin in desert for the place down the street from us the all thought that I was crazy to wear fur felt in the summer in AZ. I guess you just get used to it cause I never had any problems.

say Renault... what are the specs on your hat?
