Change Your Akubra Snowy River into a Down Under

October 18, 2013

Because of the lack of demand, we discontinued the Down Under several years ago. Once in awhile, we get requests for the hat. Until now, we’ve had to simply say, “I’m sorry.”

 

But Frank, a customer of ours, told us a way to turn the Snowy River into a Down Under. You just need to do a couple of things:

 

 

  • The Snowy River has the same, mostly straight-sided and gently tapered crown as the Down Under. It is easy to use some steam to re-crease the crown into a telescope bash.

 

  • Slightly lower the front and raise the back of the brim.

 

  • Trim off 3/8 inch from the brim.

 

 

  • If you want to add a little wear, soak the hat in water and adjust the brim. You can also strategically place some clay dust for an added effect.

 

  • That’s all!

Kangaroo and Emu Wallets Now Available

October 4, 2013

After many years, David Morgan has returned to selling kangaroo wallets. Kangaroo leather is well-known for its durability and suppleness. Although it is very thin, it is one of the toughest leathers available. It is perfectly suited for wallets.

 

We are also selling emu-leather wallets. Emu leather is also a thin leather that is supple and durable. The raised quills of the bird give the leather a distinctive pattern. The skin of the emu legs has a remarkable, reptile-like look that provides a stylish accent.

 

Our supplier is Adori, well-known in Australia for their high-quality craftsmanship. The company has a long tradition of designing unique and unusual Australian leather and travel goods.
