My new Akubra Adventurer (and another vital piece of gear)
I recently ordered an Akubra Adventurer based on the review in this thread. It came yesterday, as did my S&W M1917:
I highly recommend the Akubra, it's really great hat for a great price.
The Smith is an original made in 1919 or so and carries "US Property" markings.

Based on the thread you said made you want to get a adventurer, I did not want to get one; however with your pictures, I am tempted to switch over ordering a federation to a adventurer.Luke Warmwater wrote:I recently ordered an Akubra Adventurer based on the review in this thread.

Your fedora looks amazing! I love the overall shape of it. It fits you perfectly!
It just goes to show you, sometimes you need to get some that is not considered to be completely SA to get a SA look on you.

Hey there, first of all congratulations on your Akubra Adventurer, truly looks amazing! Seeing as I am interested in purchasing one of them Akubra Adventurer's like you have yourself I was wondering if that is also the way you receive it or do you have to bash them into the right model yourself?
Also, I've looked on the website hatsdirect.com to figure out which hat you actually purchased but I wasn't sure exactly which one the one on your picture is. Could you perhaps point this out? That'd be great!
Thanks a lot in advance for the info, I've been trying to find out myself but I failed
