: I am rather excited about modifying one of these Akubra hats into a fedora, but I would want a darker brown than is available. I e-mailed The Hattery in Australia and recieved a prompt rely. A gentleman by the name of Ron Lilburne advised me that he could have one made for me in the desired color no earlier than late Dec. The price is around $60.00 U.S. currency. The postage is another 20.00. Anyway I thought I would pass this on in case there were others who might consider this as an alternitive to an HJ. I am eager to see the pics that has been talked about here lately. Steve
Just got another e-mail from these folksand some more info. The exact price for this hat is $60.44 and $12.00 for postage, plus any custom charges. I don't have a clue as to the amount of this. He informed me that the color would be Nigeria Brown. He stated it was a true dark brown. If anyone wants to purchase one, you must do it by tomorrow because this is the last time they will order from Akubra this year. Steve
