Sorry Liberals I will never back down
For frogs snacks Pete you’ve got some passion for hats that the world hasn’t seen since Indian Jones
Now all you need are some dice
Never surrender,... a Condor Undertaker would go well with a hat like that. 👍 F the sun, F the city, and F anyone who can't deal with that amount of awesome.
Never change
I’m offended
I wear an Akubra "The Territory" hat daily in the USA. It has the same monster brim as the Riverina, but with a different crown. Men need to man-up and start wearing hats again.
Ditto I get more compliments from all of my Akubra hats.
You are right. Who cares what other people think. I always comment to men wearing hats in public. Cool guys.
I'm 61 and got a Cattleman (black) recently and love it. That is for south Texas winters. Before next summer though I will have a light colored Territory to match. Great review!
The Territory is an epic hat. I love mine.
I rock my Snowy River every day I can. Wearing a hat just feels right!
See, I run a ranch with 8 horses and it took me a bit to get my own cowboy hat. However, once I was wearing it in the sun, cleaning shit, sitting on the tractor, cutting brush and training in the beating sun..... it's become both a needed part of my daily sun gear and a central part of "fuck the city, I'm never going back" as well.
you're absolutely right. the baseball cap (or god forbid it the reverse trucker cap) have no effing clue about head protection (or style). it's time to win back our hat rights.
Anyone that works outside, and has had a nasty sunburn on the top of their ears, knows why a hat like this is a solid choice.
I legitimately feel sorry for all the people not subscribed to this channel, they miss out on all this truly epic content!
At -50F , I showed up to work in my heavy duty camo hunting coat (it was unusually cold). I got made fun of, but I was warm. But everyone else was freezing their nits off... Better a safe, comfortable dork, than a trendy, frozen, scorched fashionista. Be yourself, be as genuine as you can. Bugger the rest.
It helps to have an absolute disdain for most people and their opinions and tastes. I wear a thrift shop Stetson that I’ve beat the shit out of every day. Good on you mate for just doing your thing.
Nice one Pete, size 58 normie here. I’ve got a handful of them lying around, even one of the sombrero models but I need a few drinks in me before I have the confidence for it. New hat day or new knife day is always good. Thanks mate.
it does take a fair bit of sand to don a room-filling hat
Preferably Tequila?
You should wear your hats all the time! ! A few drinks -- Oh Boy! Put your damn hat on - Boy Howdy!
In 1986 (or '87) my college girlfriend bought me a hat. An Akubra Snowy River. I live in the northeastern United States. That hat has seen sun, wind, rain, snow, sleet, etc. It is now 35 years later and I still wear the hat. I haven't seen that girlfriend in almost 30 years but my hat still has its place in my regular hat rotation.
Yep, a hat and a good pick-up should out-last a girlfriend.
I have a size 63 head, I have struggled my whole life finding hats that actually fit. In my quest to find a hat that actually fits I stumbled upon a Canadian company called Tilley whose hats go all the way up to size 64 or 65! needless to say I was excited but still felt a little unsure because all of their "plus size" hats are the full brimmed bucket style hats and I've never worn something like that before i wasn't sure if i could "pull it off". I said screw it and bought that hat, and you know what, I don't even care if i look goofy because of all the damn shade, these hats are so practical!
Wife bought me a tilley last summer because her dad has had them his whole life, and I just finished a week of camping and hiking around the cascade mountains. Totally worth it for the cost, doesn't cook my head, stank pretty bad after being shoved in my suitcase of dirty clothes so I just washed it with a brush in the sink and it's hang drying now looking almost new again.
Tilley hats are #1 dermatologist recommended for good reason.
I have a big noggin too and I also started hat journey with a Tilley. I also wanted a straw hat so I found Sunbody hats in Tx. They have plenty hats that go 63 and 64. I picked up two straw hats from them over time, a 4 in" brimmed sun hat and a more stylish 2-3/4 brimmed fedor that I wear all the time. I then stumbled onto Akubra and a quicly picked up a Banjo Patterson which is in Heratige fawn, a lovely color. Next hat is another Akubra but this time in black and a slightly different style such as the Adventurer. Having a big head or wide feet is a big PITA but with persistance you can find what you need.
There are Akubras available up to 65, Inth8nk
It's all about confidence - if you feel confident while wearing your hat and you really own it, it'll look phenomenal on you. If you seem insecure, it'll look out of place and a little goofy.
LMAO, love the video sir!! In Texas we never apologize for our hats either!! Thank you for the laughs my friend!!
That's one of my favorite things about Australia, as a country your hat game is top notch. I've even seen some of your city folk with fedoras and making them work with the right modern and chic touches.
The only grudge I have is that somehow everyone associates the anglo-american slouche hat with your country, even though you guys made it a thing long after America and Britain did.
I completely agree! I have a Stetson Catera Gun Club hat that has lasted six years through California desert and Rocky Mountain hikes.
Epic hat man! As a landscaper, fisherman, and overall adventurer screw what people think, life’s to short.
As a Texan that's worn hats my whole life....love this! and that hat is kinda badass!
As a Brazilian who’s been here in Australia for over 10 years and has always loved the akubra hats, I said to myself: once I get my citizenship I’ll get myself my Akubra hat. Have never been so happy rocking my Riverina around here in Manly. Awesome hat 👌🏼😎
That hat is top-notch! Jealous here! It's the same colors as my hat but a little bigger and better-proportioned. Well-done, sir!
After just having 8 skin cancers removed from my fore head 🙃 I wish I had worn such a hat. Keep up the good work 👏
Nothing wrong with a proper hat...ask Uncle Randy...he put me onto them when I met him at the Betoota Pub years ago. It was about the time Goozy rolled the Zephyr out the front of the pub. The local sergeant kicked him out of town for that.
I think the Riverina might be a bit extreme for the UK & London, but I’m considering a Snowy River!
Heck, you should go full 'Dundee'.
@@justme8108 😂🤣🤠
I have a Resistol hat that looks exactly like that first hat except beaver pelt. Love it. I have Resistosl and Stetsons in beaver pelt.
Nice hat.
I picked up a Barmah leather foldaway hat several years ago, and it is my go-to outside hat. Freaking love that thing.
One of the great things about passing through middle age is that you get to ignore other peoples opinions.
Good on you, nice hat. I am a city dweller and hat wearer, I find it fascinating that in two generations the wearing of men's hats has gone from mandatory - you wouldn't be caught dead in public without a hat - to now where it is seen as odd, I think the pendulum is swinging back because of fashion and sun protection reasons.
I have three (different colours) of Akubra's "classic" *fedora* .... and tonight it got blown right off my head into the river (Swan River, Perth, WA).
I took it home as soon as I could and gave it a wash and used a hair-dryer to get it dry again [obviously].
Not only did my hat stay just fine, but it *even kept its form* [a traditional Fedora 'bash' that I had given it by using the steam from a kettle].
I'm unbelievably impressed that it kept its shape and that I didn't have to redo it (using the kettle again) to keep the style I like.
There's something magical about Akubra hats....
I had a black Stetson hat for 20 years - had the same hole that yours does. Shortly after getting married my beloved hat somehow disappeared from my hat rack.
? ? Lucy would have some explaining to do.
That must be the best looking hat I've ever seen!
You're right...a head is a must have. I swear by Stetson and I have a size 61. Started wearing a Stetson in 1999...in that time people (Belgium) looked at my as if I was an alien.
ah... Belgian people... Eating their chocolate and fries and penis shaped asparagus and looking down on people in Stetson hats.. I need to plan my next trip to Bruges
Isn't it supposed to have a bunch of corks on strings hanging down from the brim? I thought that was the law in Australia.
I knew someone would bring it up, lol. Hard to find corks these days mate, wine is mostly stelvin, (screw cap). Anyway, pain in the arse IMO and puts holes in the hat, just use repellent, and/or a head net if bad enough. Cheers Duke.
@@eyeofthetiger4184 We still use corks for most wine here in the US. Lots of people save their used ones up and then sell them for crafting. Shipping to Australia might be a bit pricey though. 😄
I feel the same stigma here in the US with cowboy hats. it’s like get real - this is stylish and practical in every way. Men wear real hats; boys wear baseball caps
At first I was thinking you were going to whip out the Akubra Sombrero. Saw one in the flesh out at Longreach last year. My eyes teared up. But when my Rough Rider dies I'm gong get a Golden Spur.
Cedric. Nice hat. I been thinking about that one myself. I have several hats from several companies, but my current favorite is a Snowy River. Once again you reminded my of one of the reasons I like living in Kansas, U.S.A. Hats are fairly common here and are making a big come back. Even if they weren't seen often, I'd wear mine with the attitude of who ever didn't like it could kiss my ass. Thanks for another great video.
I'm seriously considering an Akubra hat. Can I pull it off just north of Wichita?
@@krazmokramer Just depends on your attitude. North of Wichita you're getting into oil, farm, & ranch country. I'd say yes to wearing it where ever you want.
RIP Snowy River. Congrats on the new hat. Enjoy. In 1998 I picked up a hat similar to the Territory/Riverina. It was named after a mob tian range in a mining area in Souther Australia I recall. The town was like the Territory 4+" high with a a 4" brim. Three vent holes. A durable hat, hasn't been abused, except for oil from an oil lamp soak in it. Sent to a hat shop, they cleaned it and shrunk it to size 59. I'm forever stretching it. Also picked up a Bushman in 2020. Open crown so it's flexible but rugged. I wear it with the brim down and my wife prefers the brims being down.
I love the Riverina! I picked on up at the rogue pony in Geraldton, WA because I lost my Stetson out there. I’ve got one in Loden and Sand.
I also picked up a Coober Pedy in Sydney at the Strand Hatters for my city wear. I’ve got one in Khaki and Sand.
I got the two different colors for winter and summer use here in Texas. We don’t get the same issues here since every other person here wears a hat but I’ve had so many folks here ask about my Akubras since we don’t have them here.
I’d love a hat like that! I always wear a hat, usually a Tilly. I have a hemp one for summer and a tweed one for winter. They also have a wide brim that’s shaped like yours. Keep the rain off my glasses. I live in the country too, but still wear a hat in the city… I’m bald!
Me too wearing hats makes sense. Better to be called 'Bazooka Jo' by the grown ups! Much better than 'baldy' from random kids in the street!
My partner recently bought me a Thomas cook crushable wool hat, can’t wait to break in 🙌
I were an American hat Co. 50x quarter horse style, One in felt for the winter and one made of straw for the summer here in Mississippi and they are far more practical then a baseball/trucker hat in my opinion. I grew up with horses and tending livestock and bushcraft, that style of hat has always protected me through the years and my labors
Still, one of the best channels on UA-cam.
John Wayne, Indiana Jones, Dick Tracy, me, the list of great men who wear hats goes on and on.
You’re damned right! Heroes every one of ‘em!
That's a nice hat, you wear it like a Boss. Great video!
That is a great hat!
As I replied to a woman who once informed me my overalls were out of style, "Thnaks, but why the f**k should I care?"
Same with a hat, I wear it to protect from sun, rain and bugs.
@Michael MacCalla Perfect reply!
Good You! Love overalls.
I recently got myself a nice Boonie hat replica with a neck shade attachment. Dorkiest item i own, and i wear it every day!
I got an Akubra made for or designed for R.M Williams. Great Australian iconic piece of kit
Spending 7 years on Oz, I got one just like that. It had to be an Akubra…snowy river no less. But it’s been hijacked by my cuz a very long time ago.
You beautiful Aussie bastard. Fabulous hat & I was pleased to see a real watch with a dial & numbers around the face. It's both disturbing & perplexing how many young people have no idea how to tell the time unless it's a digital watch or clock. You know you can use your classic style watch in a pinch to discern the direction if the sun is out & you don't have a compass.
Good on you mate. Wear the hat & watch proudly. This from a Canadian subscriber.
I get a lot of shit for being a half Filipino half Aussie (look pure Asian) and wearing an akubra hat. Grew up watching my pop wear them and I love them! I wear a traveller, keeps the sun off and rain off. Added some native bird feathers to a pin and attached it. I think it looks cool, anyone who is worried about me and my hat doesn’t have enough going on in their life to keep busy.
That is enormous but beautiful. I have a coolabah and banjo paterson, but will get a riverina next.
I love my Akubra Balmoral, and I'm right with you - I live in a small US city, and get some weird looks for sure, but my balding head needs a good hat to avoid sunburns. People can look all they want. I'm gonna wear my hat on a sunny day.
I love my Balmoral. It gets more compliments than odd looks. Hatless and clueless are partners in ignorance.
I wear one every time I’m in the field, I’m a geologist in Utah. It’s really a piece of safety gear! I like your new hat Pete!
I know a geologist in Nevada who hates brimmed hats enough that even the cancer scars on his face haven't convinced him to give up his baseball cap. That's dedication I guess.
Another Akubra-crowned geologist here. Banjo Paterson is part of my daily kit. Balmoral for the greatest comfort in torrid heat; Coober Pedy for upscale, casual civilized activities; and Stylemaster for dress and formalities. The Banjo is my favorite and my go-to headgear. Akubra fit finish and style all work for me. Cheers!
I spend half my work time in the city - and my hat goes with me - I pity the fools getting sunburned on a hot day!
Funnily enough, I was born and raised in the countryside but never wore hats. Then I moved to a major city and started working outside for about ten hours a day six days a week year-round, and now I barely leave the flat without a broad-brimmed hat. -20°C? Hat. +40°C? Hat. Rain? Hat. Snow? Hat. Apocalypse? Hat. Hats are great.
Beautiful hat, I just got my Akubra Sombrero a couple weeks ago. I love it!
I had a great hat for sun protection. But I needed an outdoor lamp shade and it worked so well that it lives there now.
Bought the Akubra Territory in 2008 when I visited Ozz for walking the Bibbulmun Track. Still my go to hat in sun or rain...
I found this so entertaining. After discharging from the army I re-bashed my slouch hat into a standard Akubra design but felt like a dick wearing it since I live in Townsville and everyone who sees it knows it was a slouch hat and thinks "wow, that guy is a dick wearing his old slouch hat.". 😂Most other places in the country I could get away with it.
As an American with a collection of militaria and militaria headgear being some of my favorite, I think the slouch hats are awesome! I’d wear one just for fun.
Enjoy your hat, you earned it. (Also it’s just really nice)
Out of respect for your armed forces, I de-militarized mine-ribbon band, turned down brim, no insignias. It goes out fishing, hunting, and camping.
I think you made a great choice of sun protection and wardrobe. I would have to keep the old one and just do a little repair to it. It was such a good friend all these years and hiding it away would be a shame to do.
I think everyone in your family wearing one would make a great family portrait to have.👒☺👑
That hat looks awesome!
I can't believe you are retiring that hat...that little vent hole up top is merely a flesh wound. Looks like that hat is just now broken in!
Love your channel, BTW
I have several Camp Drafts. I love them.
I wear an akubra cattlemen hat at work everyday and I love this hat. I will be being more of them
Rockin the Riverina! I was gifted one about a decade ago, the fkn things bigger than me but one of my prized possessions.
Nice choice, that's my favourite model. If someone tries to cast shade on your fashion choice you can just cast your actual shade right back on them like a fear of god inducing astronomical event. You could have also gone for the equally wide Territory model with bigger vents and colourway to match the SA dust bowl aesthetic and reflect 1% more heat energy back to space, rather than climate change denial dark brown designed to absorb every fleeting dapple of warmth filtering through the snowgums in the high country while driving brumbies as we do, or aspire to, or at least driving a 1987 Subaru Brumby as I aspire to. But all that is entry level sun protection anyway, I'm blowing all the way past broad brimmed hats now and have been getting into the sun umbrella scene, culture, community. Sun umbrellas make big hat wearers look like classy nightclub patrons, we are talking astronaut levels of other worldliness, like you live on a whole other planet so irradiated and hostile to human life that no concession to style could ever be considered, materials and structures as advanced as the unfolding James Webb telescope.
Bwahahahahaha
Cool! I want one!
I love the hat, it suits you...great choice.
"That's not a hat, this is a hat."
Haha, love it! I need a new hat, another wool felt fedora for me
You are a legend. Legends don't have to explain themselves.
Damn true.
And other hat makers have the gall to call their 8cm brims "wide brim". 9 and up only for me.
Problem with akubras is the heat stroke they give my skull in summer, I can only wear it in winter. Newcastle Hats Nullabor breeze mesh is the best summer alternative.
I appreciate your sentiment: F the city; F the sun. I got my sun hats on sale at a hardware store. They're big-brimmed utilitarian and floppy, made of a synthetic canvas-esque material. They have a mesh vent beneath the top for head-steam to escape. F the sun: F the city.
Looking at this exact same hat. I have an Akubra slouch hat that I wear brim down, ribbon band, and no insignia. I have a big outdoor project coming up. Let it rip. Very entertaining.
Love it! Have a few Akubras myself. I've slowly indoctrinated my kids into being Akubra fans as well. Upward and onward.
I like synthetic hats. That is a nice sombrero though. I have a few outdoor research sun/rain hats. US military (and probably other countries) style boonie hats are solid too. If you spend a decent amount of time outside you definitely want to keep limit your sun exposure. I'm an old guy that learned that from old guys back in the day.
I have a 62.5 cm head. Easy to find closeouts and what not. Hard to find protective headgear. Like bicycle or hardhats that fit well.
Wow Pete , hear your pride in talking about it with a hat on !!
Nice hat Pete, I got my Akubra about five years ago. I got the Territory size 61 (when your neighbour needs some shade).
And they will...
No apologies needed. Your hat rocks. I where a Stetson Pawnee, and I grew up in New York City. F the sun!
When the hat is so beat that it looks like it was owned by Jed Clampett is when the real authentic you begins to show. Then you can wear it with pride cuz there are some real interesting life stories to be reminded of every time you don your chapeau. Well doggie!!
Outstanding Pete! I think Akubra’s ‘Territory’ is similarly huge? I have the Akubra ‘Coorong’ because my stupid previous employer baulked at supplying me with the Riverina. Also…beat you by one size in the giant noggin stakes - I’m rockin’ a 61! Thanks for another great video, and screw the non-hatters.
A 61! I humbly submit to my massive lidded bretheren!
@@CedricAda Ha! Love your work Pete.
Awesome hat Pete. My Cattleman is starting to wear out like yours and I've been in the market for another Akubra. I'm also size 60 so when Akubra starts to send you out the free ones because of this video , feel free to send one my way.
Michael
Amazing.
Awesome video! F the city and F the sun. True words. I dipped my toe into this arena by buying a billabong straw hat but I can already see where a more robust unit will be needed.
Whether I'm in the countryside or making a trip to the city, im sporting a wide brimmed hat. I have a pile of them but my two favorites are the Australian Aruba Territory and the Texas made Bailey Cavalry II. Im telling you now, ive wore my Acubra Territory in the City abmnd strangers have come up and complimented me on it!
Yes! I was just thinking of a new hat last weekend as my boonie hat is just not shady enough.
I own a hobby farm on the Gold Coast, Australia. I have camels, bison, cattle, macaws, snakes, monitors, and 4 great Danes. I wear my snowy river acubra every day. It's a life saver against the Aussie sun. Fuck the haters. 😂
Love the hats mate. If you take your felt hat on and off by the brim and not but pinching the crown, it will last a lot longer and not blow through the point on the front.
I have a green cotton fabric, large floppy full brimmed hat, with stretchy one size fits all fitment, and vented sides. I find it very nice for the same reasons you like your hats, sans the water proofness. I'm sure I look like a dorky old guy wearing it at 44yo but I don't care, its to good of a sunburn protector and make shift sweat band. Your hat looks pretty cool in my opinion, but I'm not sure I could pull it off. I have to take into consiteration my rather large full beard.
Pete, you wear it well. Personally, I can't do the massive brim that you rock. But I live in a range of blue bucket hats that probably make me look like some sort of middle aged derelict. As some others have commented, having skin cancers cut out of your face does tend to turn you into a compulsive hat wearer.
Whatever wide brimmed hat you wear, own it and wear it with pride. Your head will thank you. Don’t forget boots, no shoestrings to tie
I love wearing my wide brimmed hat when I'm doing anything outdoors. And yes, sir, that is a handsome looking hat.
As a country boy Texan with a nice handlebar mustache, I absolutely want to get a hat like that!
Leaving this here for "almighty" yt algorithm. Nice hat Cedric, cheers!
Damn man I love the look of that Pastoralist but I think you made the right call. I wear Stetsons and Resistols but even in the somewhat rural area where I live, I'm lucky if I see just one other person wearing a similar hat. Looks good on you bro, keep rocking it!
I keep circling back to the pastoralist too. I may brave it one of these days after all
That is quite a hat. Very nice choice. Hope you enjoy it.
Bonce. Lol. Learned a new word today. I’m in Canada and have Brit, Kiwi and Aussie roommates. Can’t wait to flex my new found cultural awesomeness all nonchalant like when they are within earshot
Beautiful hat. The top looks like a vulva. Top tier sun protection plus it’s anatomically correct. I need this hat.
Also me seeing a vulva in a hat says way more about me than it does your hat. Lol
I have 2 hats, both the Travelers. Love them! One is 5 years old and the other 2 years.
Heard they were great. My old Tilley is crap now. They have lessened the materials to make their T3 cotton duck to be an average bygone. Thanks for the video.
Size 61 here. I reckon the leisure time is a nice middle ground hat. Not too dorky for the city should you choose to venture there one day.
That thing is illegal in the EU and 21 other countries, and requires a pilot certificate in most US states.
Twenty-five or so years ago, as the dermatologist was removing a pre-cancerous lesion from the top of my ear, he told me to ditch the baseball caps and start wearing wide brimmed hats if I wanted to keep my ears. I have been wearing brimmed hats ever since. My favorite style is a fedora with a 2 1/2” brim, but my favorite hat is an Akubra Banjo Paterson. Akubra makes great hats! Here in Texas, most men wear either baseball caps or cowboy hats, so my fedoras stand out in the crowd, but I’m too old to care. If you like it, wear it and don’t worry what others think.
When you take a hat off by pinching at the crown, it does 2 things to the hat. First, it distorts the the front of the hat and changes the shape of the bash. Second it weakens the material and eventually causes a hole. This is especially true on straw hats as pinching the front cracks the straw rather quickly. The proper way to remove a hat is to grasp it by the brim, close to the hatband, and lift the hat off your head. However, that twisted bash at the front does give the hat a little character.
Hell yeah, brother! You wear that hat with pride! Who cares what the city folk say?
