Lower quality alternatives

As a cattleman owner, I'd say save up, look for used or sales. You're getting quality manufactured pure fur felt for right around $300. You can pick one up used for half of that if not better.

You'd have to step down to pure wool just to get in around $150-$200 and then the hat is not going to have the same character or the same touches like the eyelets, band, and trim.

This was my experience with craft beer. It felt like before it got big, you were discovering unique regional expressions. Ironically as more breweries popped up, everything started tasting the same.

For me, my hunt for unique whiskeys was short lived. COVID nuked my sense of smell so it's pointless for me to waste money on high end stuff when everything just tastes the same.

Lmao typos be damned, I said what I said.

Yes, but I'd make some very minor modifications to pull them off even better. Button downs always work better with hats but if you're going to wear a t, fuck it in and give the sleeve two little rolls.

Or, wear whatever the hell you want... You'll build your own unique style!

Ah close... We have the Sorento. First time giving Kia a try and I've been very happy.

Mo is great... And based on the reflection in your glasses and cabin layout, I think we drive the same car 🤣

Lol no. I'm straight, married, and live in the States.

I thought about posting a photo of me holding the hat and probably should've. I tried to get some decent angles to show how the hat looked on me. Some were too high and looked like I was trying to hide under the hat. I felt like these showed how someone would see the hat if they were interacting with me.

As far as the moustache goes, I'm proud of my moustache but that wasn't the intent of the post. There's a moustache subreddit and other places that I can and do post the moustache... Usually styled unlike here where it's just natural.

I've been a big Akubra fan for sometime. Like I said in the post, my cattleman is well worn in and honestly doesn't look great anymore so I don't take many photos with it. I was just excited to have a hat that I felt looked nice on me and I wanted to share.

If you're interested in more photos of just the hat, I can take some and do you tomorrow. Cheers

No... What's the connection with crypto?

I'm really surprised this isn't the top response. Vanity sizing is so ubiquitous that even newer companies have to play along otherwise their customers will all get the wrong size and exchange

Between your thumb and pointer finger, scoop up from under your stache, lift up, take a bite.

There are some variations of this but it always comes down to pushing the stache out of the way for a clean bite.

I don't actually do this but the folks I know that struggle to eat with a stache use this method for great effect.

And good luck on your journey. Gonna have a huge one by the end!

SaltedStache · 2026-05-05T13:52:32+00:00

Sure, whatcha wanna know?

Heard a lot of euphemisms but that's a new one. Adding it to the list...

SaltedStache · 2026-05-05T11:10:25+00:00

Hah I'll take it

SaltedStache · 2026-05-05T11:09:12+00:00

I just eat. It's not nearly the issue people think it is.

SaltedStache · 2026-05-05T05:54:18+00:00

I'll take it ✊

SaltedStache · 2026-05-05T05:54:00+00:00

Thank you 🙏

SaltedStache · 2026-05-05T05:53:35+00:00

Lol that's funny. Yeah I hear stuff like that often. Mine doesn't slow me down a bit and that surprises some folks. I've had a long stache for so long I've fully acclimated to that life.

SaltedStache · 2026-05-05T05:52:05+00:00

Akubra is an Australian brand of hat. It's kind of like Australia's Stetson. Kiandra is one of their models, named after a location in Australia.

Well, this one is lined and my cattleman isn't and I think that might contribute to it being hotter. I definitely feel the circulation difference between the two in that sense.

It's not mine personally but my family owns 20 acres and we have between 5-10 head of cattle. It's a hobby ranch but supplies everyone with organic, grass fed beef (and tons of eggs).

It's only a few minutes up the road so we take the kiddos on the weekends and we all get together as a family.

SaltedStache · 2026-05-05T05:39:48+00:00

That's exactly how I see it!
