Mr. Mench is a delight to deal with when buying hats and it is good to see his personality on display via RUclips. Good job, but then that is no surprise.
I assume it will fit an Akubra Stockman as it has the leather hatband. However, do you feel that connector piece on the side of your head when wearing it? thanks
Sorry to be negative but when fitting the wire hanger, the kink should be angled towards the rim, according to Akubra. It looks like Sammy’s got them the wrong way round i.e. with the kinks facing inwards.
Wait, so isn't all the strain then placed on a single stitch? Also I like the clips so you can remove it however pulling on that will eventually strain that single stitch - also the plastic will eventually perish in the heat and sun and fail. Using magnets would have been vastly better, strong neodiddliums. Oh god, I've been watching too much AvE. :(
Push the neck of the thing that looks like an upside down coat hanger between the stitches so it pokes out of the leather band inside your hat. It's not rocket science, c'mon.

Awesome tutorial! So excited to wear my new Akubra like my grandfather! Thank you!
Finally a video on RUclips featuring the word dooverlackey. Well done sir
It's a technical term.
Thank you soo much for this video. I tried following the instructions that came with the chin strap and just could not work this out. Now, all good! 😊
Good on ya Sam. Best man to buy an Akubra from in the world!
Just like a bought one :) Thanks for making my life easier, I couldn't understand the package instructions, this video saved me
Thanks for showing us that! Haven't had to fit one these before. I'm trying this new hat out for hiking trips to see what they're like.
@@everythingaustralian3048 it fitted perfect! ruclips.net/video/buZwt3woMEw/видео.html
Good on ya Cobber the instructions that came with the strap are not clear, this helped me immensely
Sammy, you are a wee gent. Thank you from wintery Scotland......I really need that chin strap!
This was a life saver after I bent my favourite akubra.
Just ordered two on the back of your demo 👍
Thanks mate! Got my Golden Spur in black safely secured now 🇦🇺
Thanku. Ashamed to say this thing had me beat until this video. 🤣
Will this work on the traveller?

Indeed, instructions say the “kink” facing the brim but at the end of the day it doesn’t make a big difference
I have one on my Snowy River. Doesn’t have the quick disconnect and seems like a cleaner, but mor permanent solution. Much less bulky. IMHO.
Does any one knows if it is possible to attach the chin strap in the akubra model coober pedy?
Damm I love my hut 😍
Thank you.
“Bimsala Bim” 🤣
Beautiful outstanding!
I’m trying to stop myself from buying more but resistible!
I want one sir.
👌

I can’t see what he’s doing inside the hat , anything !!! Is a guessing game here sorry

You missed the important bit. The wire. How?
