Does anyone know whatever happened to Akubra's Drover hats? Did they discontinue making these when the Fed and Fed delux came out?

That's what Ron told me a while back, but Akubra is known to bring back hats at the drop of a, uh, well, you know....

Thanks Michaelson. I had one a few years ago, but it seems to have disappeared (or aquired by a nefarious individual?). The dark fawn was a great color.

You know, I really love to see a traditional, iconic Aussie brand embraced o/s. It's a really great feeling.

It's a good brand! Nothing bad to say about them, and they were one of the first companies who stepped up to the plate to create a base Indy fedora for us. Great folks too, and still owned by the original family! High regards! Michaelson
