I am willing to also trade a BNIB Akubra Campdraft Vintage model from the 1960's new with tags 60 cm or 7/12in. It comes open crown and features a golden liner as opposed to the newer white satin liners.
This is dead stock and in now discontinued Campdraft colour "taupe" which is highly sought...
Hi there
Looking to purchase an Akubra Campdraft Deluxe in order of Moonstone /Cedar Brown.
60cm 7/12in
These were part of the Akubra heritage collection and not a regular one.
As close to new as possible. Willing to pay above average price as I can't find one anywhere in Australia.
All the...
A rainy morning had me enjoying an Akubra Campdraft (bluegrass hued felt).
Coffee and a stroll had me wearing an Adam. Pliant-Eze and Executive Quality sounds fancy.
I ran a couple errands in a Stephan Stetson.
Cheers, Eric -
...staying with us on Sunday night. I took Monday off also to spend time with these great friends.
On Sunday, I went for my Silverbelly Campdraft
Apologies to Stefan for failing to get yakitori pictures.
On Monday, we went to a restaurant at a fish market. I got one last wear from my Stetson...
That sounds like the sweatband on my Campdraft that crumpled when I tried to pull the wire. Here's a photo of a not yet even broke in Akubra Tablelands. You can see a little twinkle of a brass ferrule holding the ends of the steel wire together. The wire I pulled was the exact same stuff used...
I didn't realize Akubra used steel wires as the reed. I have never stripped down an Akubra. I have refurbished lots of vintage hats that had an actual organic reed used as the 'reed' . But most often it is the plastic filament. You can likely purchase some of this filament along with the...
...if you are between sizes.
If you also want it for rain protection, then a fur model with a wind cord might be your best option. The Akubra Campdraft has a wind cord. Problem is, it also has a medium-sized brim which will catch in the wind; but again if you get one with a tight fit and use...
The Campdraft is the only model that I’m aware of that comes with a wind trolley. It won’t keep it on your head, just from blowing away. Some of their western styles may come with stampede strings but I’m unaware. They could be added. Pull it down snug.
That’s a great hat, and to me, a great choice that meets all your criteria. I know the felt is a bit heavy, but it should hold up well to the rigors of your trip. I always hate trying to decide which one (or if I have room, two) hats to take for trips.
I'm following you around @belfastboy, you and @tjones. I'm pulling steel wires, Akubra spring steel wires. My Campdraft sweat could not survive the pulling of the wire. Play taps. I'm stripping it down
...Asia is tough on lids so whichever goes with has to hold up well under heat and rain, be fun to wear, and be replaceable.
This heritage fawn Fed IV does fit all those criteria. Also under consideration is the silverbelly Campdraft, the modern Premier Stratoliner, or just going with a canvas hat.
Weekly shopping in a silverbelly Campdraft.
Grilling some chicken thighs in my regular barbecue hat, the Akubra Cattleman.
I wanted a non-tomato based sauce, so went for a tweaked Carolina Gold mustard based sauce. So good! I’ll be making this sauce regularly for pork and chicken.
