I love wearing it, even though it's a little tight and needs to be re-stretched or upsized. Not Akubra's fault; they sent the right size, 57. But one day I was in Meyer the Hatter downtown and was chatting with Mr. Sam, the family patriarch, and mentioned that the hat was a little loose. I took the Akubra off for a few minutes to try something else on . . . and when I turned around Sam had put a foam strip in under the sweatband. Fastened it, I mean, with the tape!
. . . (It's already had quite a few adventures, coming to me from Australia, then having its brim trimmed and a smaller ribbon added at Henry the Hatter in Detroit.)
Update, all,
Moon suggested I try removing the taped-in foam strip under the sweatband, to see if I could return the lid to its proper fit. So I dug it out this morning. The foam was partially stuck to the liner, and I was worried I was ripping the liner out. But everybody has read here about simply tucking the liner back under the sweat; and failing that I could always dispense with the liner entirely. Out it came, riiip riiip. I flipped the sweatband (which is the softer Heritage grade one) back down over the liner and tried the hat on. Darn near perfect; I may slip a couple of folded dollar bills in there. If the cooler weather continues, I'll wear it tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip, sir!
Since I don't wear anything that can stain the hat, I've removed the liners from several of my felts, like the dark brown Royal Stetson, and am perfectly happy to have no liner in several others. I may try it.Glad it worked out
I enjoy my Akubra hats a hell of a lot more with the liners completely removed
It makes them a lighter wear and more comfortable in my opinion
Give it a try

This is what happens two high balls of Jameson inThat black number of yours we all covet is close enough! Rolled brim and a tall gutter -- but it's got super proportions worthy of a art fine museum. Thank you for your kind words!
You forgot to add AWESOME to the center dent description!!! I love adding variants and texture to my dents and pinches....you actually see a LOT of that sort of thing in the 20's and 30's......
Sweet hat. Great ribbon.Terrific Tuesday to everyone
