Akubra Coober Pedy Sand - 57cm

I have purchased two Akubra Cattleman hats from David Morgan over the years, and they are excellent working hats. The Coober Pedy has a less confronting crown profile and the color-matched ribbon is positively understated. I received it this week, put it on, and promptly left the house for a very long walk. It's worth noting that I carefully remove the liner from all of my Akubras. For me this gives better breathability and a more natural feel in the hand. The brim of the Coober Pedy is very similar to that of the Cattleman so the new hat felt great right away. Bluegrass Green is an excellent color for this style and is unlike any shade of hat I've seen in person before. Overall I find this hat to be refined enough that I will keep it in immaculate condition and ... MoreI have purchased two Akubra Cattleman hats from David Morgan over the years, and they are excellent working hats.

Bluegrass Green is an excellent color for this style and is unlike any shade of hat I've seen in person before. Overall I find this hat to be refined enough that I will keep it in immaculate condition and wear it for certain occasions, but I appreciate knowing that it could work just as hard as my other Akubras if I asked it to.

My first Coober was worn extensively for 15+ years. It is promoted to field work but is still in excellent shape.The new one is for better dress situations. However, the new one does not have the inside the hatband eye-hooks to attach the leather chin strap. I wish it did so I could get the kangaroo leather chinstrap from David Morgan.

Love the hat! Fits well and the bluegrass green color is unique. Gave the hat a western flare by steaming the brim, turning up the edges on both sides with a front drop. Thank you Daniel Morgan for selling these great Akubra hats in the USA.
