    I'll agree with Bob here & add that nothing like a Stetson 25 either. I have a vintage OR in 3X & an OR style 25 plus a raw edge, 2 ply ribboned 25. The felt of the 25s is a couple notches above the 3X. I'd say with some additional pouncing, a stock Campdraft can get to level with a vintage 3X OR. Out of the box, the CD is way too fuzzy. JMHO

    I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these to other people and I require the same from them.

    Very nice Douglas. It looks as if it wants to collapse under it's own feather weight. Can it really be that supple?

    The Mayser...

    But this time with some kind of Hollywood brim...

    Mario, my friend!
    Love that Mayser and that brim.
    Nice to see you with a smile on your dial too. I think we're all possessed by the spirit of Bogart when we don these lids and adopt his steely gaze in our pics- but even he smiled once in a while.

    Good look.
