Akubra Campdraft

[dmsantam]

I don’t have an idea. I’ve been waiting on an Akubra Sombrero for over 1 ½ years with no idea when it will become available again.

Lots of hats have become available in the last few months, sadly the Sombrero seems to be the last on the list!

To those grappling with the stiffness and sheer amount of felt in the CD it's a frustrating task until you just take a nice walk in the rain. It just turns into a very agreeable hat in my experience. It's a working hat and seems to respond to its time in the elements.

I have three Campdrafts and three Fed IVs, all of which have managed to experience the rain here in southern California, and I agree completely--Akubras really like rain. It's probably the chemicals in the acid raindrops momentarily breaking down the stiffener then re-activating it as the felt dries, but they do like rain.

Am I the only one who noticed, or found it amusing, that the the standard "Camp Draft" is spelled with two words, whereas the "Campdraft Deluxe," spells it as a single word? I'm going by the sweat band labeling here, not anything in print.

I know it is a meaningless point, but it strikes me as odd.

Cool discovery

I’ve found it odd too, and I’ve wondered why the disparity. Since the name comes from the Australian riding competition known as campdrafting, I’ve always spelled it as one word.

"Camp Draft" is spelled with two words

I noticed that it is two words on my hat as well. Apparently it is a single word "campdraft" when speaking of the horse/rider/cattle sporting event that inspired it. The Lounge tends to abbreviate it as CD -- implying two words.

We have the same issue with Silverbelly.

We certainly do! Well, I know that I do. I zero-in on silly glitches and fixate upon them. Not proud of it, but that's my wiring. It makes me a decent quality assurance guy.

As for the Campdraft, I'm imagining some executive at Akubra with an interest in graphic design making the decision to split it into two words for the sake of "appearance." The truth is probably stranger than that.
