Anyone tried an Akubra Fed in Tawny Fawn ? What's the colour like ? Is it light brown or is it orangy ? If it's close to a light taupe color, I'm interested.

oklahoma_jones has one.

I recently ordered an Akubra in Regency fawn, but it's closer to Santone (?) in this chart. I think maybe they sent me Santone. http://www.everythingaustralian.com.au/fitting.asp

Thanks 3thoubucks. They've got an awful lot of fawns on that shade chart, haven't they ?!!!

Maybe I'll go the Adventurebilt route instead of an Akubra if Fedora can do one in light taupe - that way I can get it with a custom width brim and a 6 inch crown !

....did someone call my name???? Yes, I do have a Tawny Fawn Fed, and I really like it. I bought mine before the dimensional cut was added, and had to put my own brown ribbon on it. As a reference, the color is almost exactly the color of the tan U.S military beret. The dark brown ribbon really sets of the hat, and I do get lots of compliments when I wear this one(though I must admit it is mostly from family and friends, who welcome the change of color every now and again). If you don't have one, get one........

Hey, Oklahoma, how about a couple pics?!

Love Mine. A real gentlmans lid. I would say a warm Kaki and in some light just plain tan[/img][img]
