This is my 3rd Akubra,
"This is my 3rd Akubra, I purchase the next size up deliberately and lightly packed out the inner band, it means I can pull the hat down low when it is windy, but where it higher for shade when it is sunny and hot. I chose a light colour to partly reflect the sun for holidays in the sun, and sprayed it with Scotchguard to hopefully help keep it clean, I have yet to try it out in the overhead locker on the airplane but it is much softer than my other rabit felt ones so I am hopeful- it doesn't look ostentatious so shouldn't attract unwanted attention overseas."
