Just ordered an Akubra

OK, I guess I'm properly hooked now. You people got to me.
I've had a very nice Borsalino for a while now. It's a great hat, and seemed 'Indy' enough for me. But when I put on my Wested jacket with the hat, it just seemed wrong...

It used to look good enough for me.

But now I know the block is all wrong, the bash is wrong, the ribbon is wrong, the material is wrong (this one is wool), and it has a taper.
Sometimes knowledge is not a good thing.
So I just ordered the Federation Deluxe IV...
