(8 of 8 customers found this review helpful) The Perfect Retro Lid. By ThePhotogsBlog from Montreal, Canada About Me Casual Dresser, Stylish ![]() Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Akubra Stylemaster Hat: This is my fourth federa hat and my first ever Akubra, and so far, my favorite hat of any I've bought. Right out of the box, one can see that this is a high-quality hat with absolutely perfect proportions. The brim, crown and grosgrain ribbon are all in the right proportion to one another. The crown seems a little bit taller than it is on most other currently made fedoras, exactly matching the dimensions stated by the maker. The hat's brim snaps down very crisply and it's 60cm size fits my 60cm (7 1/2") head size perfectly. I ordered a hat jack with it to make sure it never shrinks, which has happened with some of my other hats. The inside lining is also top-notch and the leather sweatband feels very soft breathable, and frankly more comfortable than on any other hat I've ever bought. The carbon-grey colour looks great with any shade of grey suit, and probably goes well with some shades of green also. My only beef in fact, is the limited colour selection: if more colours were available I'd surely buy one or two more in different colours as I really like this lid. All in all, I'm very pleased with the quality of this hat for the money I've paid.

(4 of 4 customers found this review helpful) Stiff and durable, and stylish By Gentleman James from Tokyo About Me High-end shopper, Stylish ![]() Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Akubra Stylemaster Hat: This hat is stiff and durable, made of fine quality and soft fabric. It is embroidered in black around the edge of the brim, thoughtfully stitched closed at the rear. This subtle color difference from the overall hat color adds a touch of class, in my opinion, along with the 3 cm black ribbon) . These color changes enable me to wear the hat with grey and black suits. It is fully lined. There is no feather with this hat. Two comments about style: 1) the brim comes turned up (unlike the photo), so I applied a bit of steam to turn the front down to suit my taste. 2) The crown is a bit shorter than my Stetsons, rising only 10 cm in front, and tapering down to 9 cm in the rear.

Cons Best Uses
Comments about Akubra Stylemaster Hat: The Akubra Stylemaster is a strikingly attractive hat that serves all of the traditional hat functions: the brim is just wide enough to provide sun shade without becoming a "wind sail," it keeps one's head warm in colder months and lends an air of confidence and style to the wearer. The charcoal grey version trends more toward blue than black on the color spectrum, so the hat can be worn with a variety of clothes. Perfect fit. I highly recommend!

Comments about Akubra Stylemaster Hat: I decided a couple of months ago to start wearing a hat every time I leave the house. I decided that I like the fedora type of hat best. As a retired person, I don't do anything that requires a formal look. I wear the hats on a casual, daily basis. This Stylemaster hat fits my head and my lifestyle perfectly.

Casual in Acorn By PhilM from Greeley, Co About Me Casual Dresser, Comfort-oriented, High-end shopper, Practical, Stylish ![]() Pros

Comments about Akubra Stylemaster Hat: Once again, I have to commend the staff at Delmonico's for their outstanding customer service and large inventory. Nothing is worse than picking out a hat and waiting several weeks for it to be delivered. That is never a problem here. Delivery was less than 5 days on this order. This is the fourth hat I have bought from them and I'm sure it will not be the last. Now on to the hat. I have the Stylemaster in grey, so I was happy to see they offered the acorn now. This has a far more casual look to it than the grey and is perfect for daily wear. The fit was superb, as if it was custom made for me. I am very pleased with it and since it is an Akubra, it holds up well to rain and snow. Thanks again for the great service and selection.

First Akubra, first DelMonico purchase By JWBernard from Salem, Oregon About Me Casual Dresser, Practical, Professional​ ![]() Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Akubra Stylemaster Hat: The hat would probably be a 4; the 5 stars are for DelMonico. I selected this hat because I wanted something different from a Stetson but similar in dimensions to the Stetson I own (a Stratoliner). As received, the Stylemaster was a little too "round" of an oval for my 62 cm long oval head. I returned it, DelMonico reshaped it to a long oval, and it looks and feels great now. The email communication was fantastic through the process, and I got a personal phone call, too, before the hat was sent back to me. The hat does have a very assertive brim and feels stiffer/firmer than other hats of mine, but not in an intimidating or off putting way. I am looking forward to breaking this hat in and enjoying it more and more with time.

Comments about Akubra Stylemaster Hat: This is my first fedora hat. Let me tell you, I sure picked a good one, and a great hat outfitter to buy from as well. I've been wearing baseball caps my whole life and wanted to switch to something more stylish like a fedora. I didn't want something that "stood out" too much till I got used to wearing it. This hat is perfect. It's not too big, not too small. I didn't want the ribbon to "stand out" too much either. It doesn't. It's narrower than others and blends in well with the hat. Simply put, this is a well made, quality, practical and stylish hat.

Comments about Akubra Stylemaster Hat: I didn't give my hat 5 stars because it was heavier than expected, more in Western hat weight than in the fedora weights I'm used to from Stetson. It's my first Akubra and I wanted to see how it differs from Stetson/Dobbs. Still I'm very satisfied and I'm sure it'll break in to my liking. Another Akubra in my future? Very possible.

Well made but a little odd By Frank from Topeka, KS ![]() Pros
Cons
Best Uses
Comments about Akubra Stylemaster Hat: Please take note of the dimensions. To my eye the proportions of the hat are somewhat unusual making it look top heavy (not enough brim for the height). Other hats that I wear have no more that 4" in front (a half an inch makes a big difference). Materials and workmanship seem very good. I haven't worn the hat enough to comment on longevity.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Akubra Stylemaster Hat: Great fedora from Akubra. Ben was good enough to bring out a Borsalino for comparison purposes, and I chose the Akubra for being somewhat stiffer and the grosgrain band on the edge of the brim, versus the softer construction of the Borasalino. Tks, Ben for a great shopping experience! Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Merchant response: Thanks very much for your review, your comments have been passed along to Ben.
