    Akubra Campdraft

    I'll be happy to e-mail him and let him know of my interest. GTD, could you provide his address for us? I've got the general sales address, but not Ron's. Thanks, Steve

    Californians Please check in!

    Born-Again Californian Just discovered this great thread and happy to see there are so many Californians in the Lounge. I've lived in Long Beach for 9 years this month, after growing up in New England and living in various parts of the country, from Maine to Seattle...and with a place in Palm...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Found a Vintage Stetson...help After visiting a local coffee shop to work on student essays today, I strolled down the street to my favorite Long Beach vintage shop, The Vintage Collective on 4th Street. Occasionally I'll find a cool mid-century modern ashtray or side table, but never a fedora...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Funny, gtdean, but I just posted my previous response to Dundee about wanting a Moonstone CD, and then saw your note. I'm right behind you in line for that Moonstone Heritage Campdraft--sign me up for a 59!

    Akubra Campdraft

    That mid-brown looks fantastic, Dundee. I've gotta say that my Silverbelly CD is far and away my favorite hat. I'm thinking of dropping a note to Hats Direct or Akubra...a Moonstone version would be fantastic! I'd also be curious to see pics of the blue/green, if anyone has one.

    First refurbish/restore. Starting pics and in process shots, need advise!

    Beautifully done, Al_Ojeda! I love the bow knot--care to share how you accomplished the two-tone look?

    Fitting a Grosgrain Band

    Hi Redhawks, I recently put a new 1.5" ribbon on a Campdraft and had the same problem initially. I followed the same advice the gents here give: make sure the ribbon fits snugly to the hat, and then wet/steam the top of the ribbon...it should shrink it down a bit to conform to your taper. You...

    First Fedora - Critiques, Suggestions?

    :arated: I agree with RBH...and the brim looks fine to me. It may look a bit wide because your crown is smaller than that of a Fed IV from Akubra, but it seems to fit you fine.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Excellent find, bakers44! Why is it when I go to vintage/thrift stores, all I see are blouses and jackets my grandmother would have worn?? And even worse, they don't even look good on me! :D

    Post New Hats Here!

    That's a gorgeous hat, dostacos. Did you get as gorgeous a deal on it, given that this was an unclaimed custom hat? Fantastic lid--good score!

    Needing advice from dapper dudes...

    Burgandi, for future reference, the Akubra Campdraft is a fantastic hat. It cost me about $100 including shipping from Australia, and it is now my absolute favorite. So, for a future event, consider that--or the Fed IV--as a likely gift idea. Having said that, for the present, LEAP on that...

    Needing advice from dapper dudes...

    Sorry, Goose, but I gotta say: Look up the phrase "honorable gentleman" or, in the slang dictionary, "helluvaguy," and you'll see Goose's avatar pictured. Very nice, my friend.:eusa_clap

    CSULB - looking for a well dressed fellow on campus.

    I live in Long Beach, Trimen, but since I'm not on the university's campus, I haven't run into that gent yet. If I did, though, I'd simply open the conversation with a compliment on his fedora, maybe asking if it was vintage and who the maker was. Always cool to see someone with that kind of...

    Hat comeback

    I'm with you, Neil--I got the same orders from mine after he removed a "pre-cancerous" bit of skin from my temple. That was enough to scare me into fedora fashion, which I quite appreciate now.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Wow, 1911, that's pretty close to perfect. :eusa_clap I've been wanting to find a Whippet in good shape, but you're helping me realize that maybe the best bet would be a Whippet repro like the one you mention. Time to start saving the pennies...

    Hat comeback

    Nice, Lefty...thanks for those links; they should be stickies. I agree, hats could come back into broader fashion beyond the Timberlake-of-the-moment. Many men I've talked to admit a curiosity about wearing a fedora, typically relying on the "I'd look foolish in one" excuse. But if a friend...

    Akubra from Australia to US

    By the way, I meant to include that I've never had to be home for the P.O. to deliver, either--no signature required.
