There are the 2 main brands which are Australian

Akubra (they are actually felt, but they are very good hats).
Barmah

Then you will also find a number of others, but another good aussie one is Kakadu which you can get from the hat store

I said I'd never wear a leather hat as they don't suit me, swmbo thought otherwise and brought me one home from The Range. I don't think it cost much more than £25 but I've gotten to like it.

That's me right of frame

I must admit to shying away from them for a while, but the shear functionality and style of them looks good! Time to try I think!

Does look a nice spot there Rich, It reminds me of some stretches of water near where I grew up near Llangollen!
