See above about the CD in Bluegrass.Its a very versatile and popular color.

"Can I crease that one into a kind of Maltese Falcon shape?"

Yes - That diamond creased crown is not hard to mimic with the nice open crown, but the band is not the same. Look up the Diamond Authority thread here in the hat forums.

"Also does anyone has that hat in that color, the color looks different in my phone that what it looks like in my computer, is it a nice looking versatile color?"

Yes, I have it . It is a great color - scrolling back in this thread and in the Campdraft thread will get several photos of the hat and color. But it is sort of gray green, but changes with lighting and area colors. Subtle - not overpowering at all.

"I am worried I will end up looking like in a costume for St Patrick´s day."

No, it is not Kelly green by any means. I wear it with blue jeans and several colors of suits. Blends well.

"Any input is very very welcomed !!"

I have one and would buy the BlueGrass Campdraft again if something happened to mine.

Just got my new Tablelands from Everything Australia and I must comment on just how damn awesome Sam is. He bent over backwards to get me a hat that I would love and returned every email lightning fast. He did great work on the kangaroo barrel strap that you see in one of the final photos. The purpose of this hat is to be my go to outdoors hat when hunting, fishing kayaking or just working hard in the yard. Strap was vital because of my love of the water and I think this hat will do an awesome job

I can vouch for both Sam and the Tablelands. I've had mine several years now doing exactly what you describe. From fly fishing on the chattahoochee to pheasant hunting in South Dakota, it has handled snow, rain, humidity with no problem and still looks great. Wear in good health!

This is what I will hopefully be looking like come April! LOL. Got a quick question, on your Tablelands is the back of the brim down or do you steam it up? Trying to figure out how it is "supposed" to be worn

RJR · Feb 1, 2015

I believe the Tablelands is flanged "outback"style so down all around.

That is what I figured, but wanted an opinion. Here are photos of what I am talking about. Down just looks "right" to me.

Yep. This style of hat is designed to be worn with the brim down all the way around, and it looks best that way in my opinion.

DesertDan · Feb 2, 2015

Agreed.

I've left mine shaped as it arrived, except for how it takes on a shape of it's own as the weather and wear take their toll. Down all around. Just "works" for me when I'm out in field and stream.

jmclfrsh · Feb 2, 2015

Absolutely should be down, as it is an outback-style hat rather than a fedora-style hat to begin with.

Nice choice!

Fed in a Fedora · Feb 2, 2015

Having it down is correct for that hat and also does a better job of protecting you from sun and rain.

I really like that hat.

I just ordered it Sam placed the order together with an adventurer that I am waiting to get, so I even save some $$ in shipping.

I will need help creasing it !!!
