Reply With QuoteYeah, Akubra's a really nice. Sort of a gentleman's outback hat.

I’ve worn that style of hat for a lot of years.....mostly in Saudi to keep from melting my head. I tried a Barmah last year. I sent it back as it was too floppy for me. My wife bought me an Akubra for my birthday a while back. I am currently trying to decide on a different Akubra to order. My current one has a 4 inch brim and I’m looking to get a 3 1/4 inch for around and about wear. I really like them....but as with all good things they aren’t cheap.

Very nice hat, it looks really stylish and well made. Due to the heat and sun on the local lakes and Gulf of Mexico I have been wearing wide brim straw hats for years. The one I have been wearing for the last year has a 7 1/2 inch brim around it, I used to buy 6 inch brim straw hats and my friends would tell me it looked stupid... I got the larger 7 1/2 inch as a goof but it works very well as long as the wind is below 10 mph.. I got mine at the local Central American grocery store, gonna stop by and see if they have another today, they are inexpensive and mine is getting some wear to it.

Yea, that is a tough act to follow, LOL. Good high SPF hats arn’t cheap - you get what you pay for. Tilley hats are $$ as well.Originally Posted by Fly2bTied
