Frederick Design creates elegant and affordable jewelry made of lead-free pewter. The jewelry is hand-crafted in Canada by various artists, including First-Nations.
We now carry two pewter bolo ties from Frederick design. The first is the Orca Bolo, shown leaping out of the water.
The second depicts the raven stealing the sun. Unlike our other raven jewelry, this shows a frontal view of the raven holding the sun in its beak. (A brief description of the story of raven stealing the sun can be found here.)
The black cord is machine-braided synthetic material. Overall length, not including the metal tips, is 36 inches.

Do you want to try an Akubra without having to fly out to Seattle, Washington? There are many hat retailers around the United States and Canada that offer a variety of Akubra hats. In fact, some dealers offer styles and colors not available on our website.
With a local dealer you are also supporting your local business. As hat sales continue to grow, you can be assured that the more the retailers sell, the more they can offer.
Your local hat dealer also carries hat stretchers, brushes and many will even custom shape your hat.
So, when looking for an Akubra, don’t forget to see if there is a dealer in your neighborhood.
Check our dealer page to see if there is one near you.
Kickin’ up the back brim of your hat can add an additional flare to your Akubra. Your hat will have more of a fedora style than the traditional Aussie style.
It’s easy to kick up the back brim. All you need is a little steam from a tea kettle. Run the steam over the top of the brim for just a few seconds to get it soft. Then, push up the back from underneath with your thumbs. Push up at the base of the brim, right where it meets the crown.
You can watch this video to see how to steam your hat.
