Put a crease on my new Cedar brown CD. This is my third CD, and I'm happy with it.

That's a dead ringer, color and all, for my Akubra RM Williams. I finished mine in a teardrop crease, though. I think the dimensions may be a tiny bit different on the two, but they're basically the same hat. Cedar brown, mid-brown, maybe the same color?
Nice job on the crease!

I love your crease work. You really have a knack for shaping westerns.
With three of them I think it’s time for a group photo.

Hi, DH. The cedar-brown is a very dark brown, isn't it?

A year from now you won't even consider ever parting with that hat. I have a number of hats in various shades of brown, but the bluegrass green looks killer with a brown horsehide or goatskin jacket. Also, I had a good laugh at your treatment of the hat: if you ever get a chance, check out a movie called "The Male Animal" from 1942. There's a scene in it where Henry Fonda walks in the house, grabs his hat in a fistfull off his head and throws it on the couch. I always think of it when I read someone here talking about the proper way of handling hats.Anyway, all the best.
Yeah Im really enjoying it now. I didn’t know that it was considered a Western hat. So it had a slight stiffness to it as Western Hats do. Im learning so much on the Lounge.
I broke in the crown and now the hat is super soft.
I just measured the inside circumference and the sweatband has shrunk down a whole exact size from a 57 to a 56. Now it fits comfortably without hitting my ears. It took I think a weeks time.

The Campdraft was originally produced under license as the Stetson Open Road, which is considered a dress western. But they should not be stiff like a western.
That looks good!

Well, I'm suspicious. They don't offer any method for ordering other than email or phone, and they're offering CDs in colors that Akubra doesn't seem to offer them in.
I'd love a black CD, though.

Yeah... I remember you writing that before about wishing for a black CD.... at least I think that was you...
It HAS to be BS, but the tease of CDs in black and sky gray (no idea what that would be but it sounds glorious) is killing me a little.
I hope some of our Aussie members will check and report on this.

Yes, that was me. A vintage black OR would be preferable, but I'd definitely take a black CD as a consolation prize.
