I purchased my first 2 Akubras in Australia, the first one almost 30 years ago. Unfortunately I never worn them. So a few ago I found David Morgan on a website and visited them, and of course walked out with a Coober Peddy. There customer service and collect on hand is awesome. Honestly I didn't wear it that much either.Now that I'm almost 50 and sun protection for top of my head has become more of an issue. For some time now I have been chomping at the bit to get my hands on a Cattleman and finally did! It fits just as their YouTube video suggests and got their hat stretcher just in case it shrinks a bit.This is now my go to hat for everything. I'm an avid fly fisher and I know it will do me well on the water slinging flies. I am so impressed by it and can't ... MoreI purchased my first 2 Akubras in Australia, the first one almost 30 years ago. Unfortunately I never worn them.

They are truly a class act and I greatly appreciate them.I wish folks wore hats like this as much as they do down under.

Every time I step outside my Cattleman Akubra is on my head. Ever wear it inside at times, it feels THAT good!Ever go walking by and say, wow, he's got a great looking hat! Now with my Cattleman hat on am one of those that get looked at. No worries about the midsection being wider, people are noticing my hat. It is an odd feeling for people to look at me in the eyes, noticing me - or is it the hat? It is that bonzer of a hat, people will look up to you!This version of the Akubra is one of the more popular styles. The fawn color has an optical illusion built into the hat. Not sure if this is what Akubra intended, or if this is a special & unique trait of this hat type.• In brighter or sunny areas the hat is more like a light tan or fawn color. Very attractive ... MoreEvery time I step outside my Cattleman Akubra is on my head. Ever wear it inside at times, it feels THAT good!Ever go walking by and say, wow, he's got a great looking hat!

Very attractive light caramel color.• When the shade kicks in the hat changed color, like a chameleon, bringing about a more greenish hue.• And in dimly lit areas the hat is more of a light olive green color - still quite handsome.The trait of the hate will make people wonder if you just changed hats, when in fact you did not. The hat is mesmerizing in its color changing ability.I definitely recommend this hat without reservation.Finding it extremely useful when driving, as I can dip and tilt the hat to block the sun's powerful rays. More so when the sun eludes the tinted windshield strip, it comes in from the side. A quick rearrangement of the hat and no more worries.For the service David Morgan's staff has given me the extra few dollars was of no concern. There is a team of folks eager to make you satisfied, and they are each full of tips and tidbits of information.Have plans on upgrading the hat band in the future, and getting a hat brush. Never have used a hat brush before, then too never had such a lovely hat that fit like a glove either. Now that I have a quality Australian war bonnet on my head, want to keep it looking fresh too.If you want to be noticed, buy this hat. If you want comfort, buy this hat. Want a comfortable hat? Well, what are you waiting for mate?PS: Get the kangaroo chin strap if you can, perhaps a down color to match the headband.

I use this as a casual/dress hat...whatever the mood says. I have a Snowy River and a Coober Pedy. Compared to those hats the weight of the felt is much thinner. It's allmost like you are picking up a cardboard hat. I don't like that and I'll make sure to check the weight before buying another Akubra hat. As well, nothing in the descsriptions of any of the hats tells you the "X" rating. I'd guess this is a 1 X or a 2X...not very thick. It just doesn't feel like a quality hat. It feels like it will begin to deteriorate in a short time compared to my other 2 Akuras.

This is a great hat. Well made and true to size. It handles water/rain very well and holds its size even after getting wet. Like all fur hats, this will shrink a bit if you leave it in the heat, but a had sizer returns it to normal in a moment.I know I shouldn't leave it in my car, but that's where it lives (hanging on the back of the seat), so it will shrink a bit, but like I said, quickly returns to normal.I'd love to see this hat available in the unlined version, like how they sell it in Australia, but I don't know if there's a market for it here.Anyway, great hat, good coverage, good sun protection and protection from fly line/hooks.
This is my second Akruba Cattleman's hat. My first was a gift 20 years ago. I still have it. This Cattleman's will be my dress hat. It has formed to my head as good as my custom made hat at 1/4 the price. High quality at a good price for the Akubra Cattleman. I am between a 58 and 59. However, wearing the hat 1 day has formed to my head. Nor a strong wind or a fast horse, I will not lose my hat.
I couldn't be any happier I love my new hat. I am an over the road truck driver and I can wear this new hat all day without any problems. When I ordered it I measured at 22 1/2 so I put down 23 and was so happy to find out it fit so well. I ordered my hat on Wednesday and it arrived Monday afternoon.
I've been wearing this hat for three days out in the winter snow and rain. It's settled down on my head nicely and its wonderfully warm. It's perfect!
This is a durable and practical workhorse of a hat which also looks sharp enough to wear almost anywhere. The brim is protective against the sun and rain without blocking your view. Akubra's leather sweatbands are by far the most comfortable I've worn. The first thing I do upon receiving one is carefully remove the liner; for me this improves the breathability and makes it nicer to handle and wear overall. The crown gives this hat a strong, utilitarian appearance without being a statement piece. It is a nice break from the generic cowboy hats that are common where I live. I like neutral shades for a hat and the grey looks good with everything, especially in winter. I also have one in sand for warmer months and it stays noticeably cooler under the hot sun. I love ... MoreThis is a durable and practical workhorse of a hat which also looks sharp enough to wear almost anywhere. The brim is protective against the sun and rain without blocking your view.

The Akubra Cattleman came packaged very well, with no chance of getting damaged. It shipped faster than expected, especially from across the country. The fit was spot on and the included foam pads were a nice touch, but I didn't need them. This hat replaced a Henschel Walker leather hat which I wore for a few years, but I couldn't get the stench out of it. This is my first Akubra hat and now I understand all the hype. It is extremely well made and lightweight. It fit a bit snug at first, but formed to my head within a few days. I expect it to last for years and based on all the great reviews, I'm sure it will. Because it's such a nice hat, I was apprehensive about wearing it in the woods where I spend a lot of my time, but that's what it's made for.

I knew when I ordered this hat it was going to be good. I owned a similar hat 20 years ago, that I grew out of. it is still in the same shape as when I bought it. So when I brought this hat with me for fishing in the northern sweden territory, I was not disappointed. The weather was horrible, but the hat kept me covered through rain and wind. The only thing I regret is that I did not buy a chin strap and maybe one size smaller as the wind was strong enough to kick it off my head. I solved the problem with a temporary shoestring but I will replace this with a real chin strap once I get home. The softness in the material made it feel like it was part of me. The rain just rinsed off the hat without socking it. I am already thinking of buying one of the other models ... MoreI knew when I ordered this hat it was going to be good.
