I'm tempted to take that a step further and dunk ny new Territory in the lake. I haven't done that with any other hat but an unlined country Akubra seems like the one to try it with, if any hat is.

There's a geezer from the outback who materializes on this forum from time to time just to deride us all for being a bunch of bloody pooftas because we worry too much about our Akubras. I'm hoping your comments conjure him up.

Sunbody - for those days when you just cannot take the heat any longer. Being in the greater New Orleans area, this is something that I understand.

No dunk in the lake, but it did handle a torrential downpour very well. I trust our outback friend would approve - there is something fun about wearing a new Akubra in the rain.

Got one and its one of my go to favorites.
I was the same as I waited on mine. Like a kid waiting on Christmas morning.

Ditto. Funny, but when I first got it I wore it only with my black get-ups (black shoes, belt, etc.), but I started wearing it with a brown leather jacket last winter and found that it looked equally good with brown basics. Really useful color.
Come to think of it, I'm awaiting a pair of AE's Jeffersons I bought during the July 4th sale. Can't wait to pair 'em up with the hat.

Anyone know if they have changed from ribbons to two cords on recent production CD's or is it a "run what you brung" type deal? My most recent MSCD still has the flat ribbon.

I noticed that too but failed to mention it when I posted. Definitely makes the CD look more western. I'm thinking/hoping this is not a permanent change to the CD.

I think it is a refreshing twist on the common CD ... dig it

To me it makes it look like a cut down Western & my first impression was that's what it was. I bought the hat. If the felt is good (it's an Imperial grade) I'm thinking of leaving the edge raw but replacing the two cord with a mid ribbon.
Of course it was an open crown so I'll start from there also.

I don't believe current production Camp Drafts have changed. Why would they?

It's nice, but...it's not a CD to me.
This is weird.

It's a trans campdraft post op, now liberated as it always felt like a western trapped inside a fedora body.

it's a different hat, glad mine is the old one but might have to get this one.
