The Akubra Boss, on the other hand, is somewhat more flamboyant, with its side-rolled 3 1/2 inch hat brim, snappy Aussie front and back dip and open telescope low western crown. This outback western hat for men in fur felt is trimmed with a smooth leather band, richly studded with brass rings and buckle.

You've probably seen The Snowy River Outback, a handmade cowboy hat, in movies of the same name. It's an unmistakable fur felt hat with its signature Aussie Dip, tapered pinch-front fedora crown and rolled brim. The trim is quite distinctive, too, being a finely woven leather band. I'm pretty sure you'll like it (and I think your sheila too).
