Looks great! How do you rate the quality/value of the Akubra straw hats?
I have to say that is great, you get a lot for your buck.

I have a Capricorn and a Zephyr in poly, you really cant tell its poly from a couple of feet away, both look great and perform better, maybe a little hard when brand new, but averall a much better hat than a Stetson poly Strat. You can work the brim easily and the hat never looses its form.

Also own a hemp Balmoral, what a hat !! Beautiful colour, great dimensions, fun to wear, and very soft and maleable for a hemp hat, best bang for your buck.

I have ordered a grey Capricorn and a Country Club in poly and a Reef in hemp, it am sure I will be very happy.

I have them sent with some felts from Sam at EA so the final price is very affordable and you get a great product at an extremely reasonable price !

Happy SatORday everyone!
Wearing my 3XB, now much cleaner than before. When I got it, it had a lot of dirt and grime and various stains and signs of use. I got most of the surface dirt off, but it had a very noticeable ring around the center of the brim. I tried to think of it as character, but more often thought of those "ring around the collar" commercials. So, I dismantled it, dry (Coleman's) cleaned it, then a warm water Woolite wash. Got rid of all but a tiny bit of the soiling, and made the brim softer, less like a Western and more like a fedora. Original ribbon has a few nicks and dings, and a spot or two, but I kept it on anyway.

I like it much better with less crud.
Have a great day! :)
