: Both HJ and Deborah Nadoolman described the hat as an "Australian Fedora". Also, DM once told me the Akubra Squatter was used as inspiration for the original hat.

...as it was my understanding that the original HJ was of Brazilian origin. A Brazilian made Australian hat, sold by a high end British retailer? It just gets curiouser and curiouser! I had always assumed that this particular Brazilian open crown hat, had been blocked with an old timey block, not particularly availible these days. When HJ changed suppliers, for what ever reason, they lost this block in their Poets. The hats that followed seem to have the LC block, at least some of them. All of this is very interesting to folks like me. I love it! Regards, Fedora
