: I took my David Morgan Squatter with me on a trip to San Antonio. While there I went to a small old hat shop and for $6 they cut the brim and changed to ribbon. It looks fantastic. Almost an exact copy of the fedora Indy wears while boarding the clipper to Nepal. (I purchased the grey one not thinking it would ever resemble Indy`s hat) The results were so great that yesterday I ordered the David Morgan Bushman (after what I read in earlier posts) and it arrived today but I wasn`t in at the time so I have to wait untill tomorrow. As soon as I get it I am rushing up to San Antonio, texas and has this one cut, shapped and ribbon change. It looks great and is alot cheaper than HJ. Only 26 more days left until next Halloween-Jack Skellington

Very cool! It’s great to hear a review. I would love to see pics if you can get in electronic format.

I'm going to pick up my Bushman on either Thursday or Friday, and I'll be doing the cutting (yikes!) and ribbon myself.

Have you been able to compare the brown Squatter to the brown Bushman? The Squatter is more of a truer beige while the Bushman has a gray tone to it. I'm opting for the Bushman because of the extra ½-inch of crown, and I think the color looks pretty good. I'm thoroughly impressed with the stiffness of the felt. Also, I'm planning on cutting off the rivets for the chinstrap.

Wow! It’s great to hear a success story with the Akubra hats. I was a bit nervous in what appeared to be virgin territory.

Cheers!
