: : Yep, I finally did it! I ordered the Raiders version in the new lambskin, with the cotton lining, leather inside the collar, and a zipper on the inside pocket. This is my second post on this, but I figured quite a few of us have been away for the holidays. I had forgot to include the exp. date of my credit card, and Peter himself called me at home to inquire. He left a messsage as I wasn't home at the time-darn it! Now I will just have to endure the wait. Also Hatsdirect e-mailed me and said my Bushman was mailed before Xmas, and there's no telling when it will be here. Mr. Lilburn said that 22 packages were lost here in the states prior to this, and apparently this was highly unusual in his experience. They found them all but one, and he said it was stolen! Also there is probaly some bad news for us who ordered Akubras from Australia. It seems that the Akubras produced for Australian customers, at least the Bushmans, come with 2 "eyed" vent holes on the sides, and with no lining! The hats produced for sale in the states are not like this. The only positive thing about this is that the bushman comes with what appears to be a grosgrain ribbon, instead of the usual faire that Morgan sells. Has anyone contacted Hatsdirect and to see if we could get the Bushman like the American version? Since they are special made anyway, they might be able to do it. regards, Steve

I got the idea from Patterson, and what it refers to is on the inside of the jacket right where the collar is sewn on there is an extra piece of leather at the bottom of the collar. Usually you find this on better made A-2 jackets. Regards, Steve
