Thank you for the solid advice, it makes total sense, specially the las paragraph.
The only problem is that I really like about 4 now, and now you bring custom into the mix… another rabbit hole lol!
It all started when I saw a Cattleman online and really liked it… maybe I should circle around...
...decent hats and some that I wouldn't buy. If I was buying a new hat that compares to the ones you mentioned it would probably be an Akubra Campdraft, although I'm kinda curious about the hats KTG Hats is putting out.
Get what ever speaks to you though, if you don't like it you won't wear...
Hi @The Lost Cowboy
Great observations and why I respect this forum so much.
Weight is largely governed by getting 100% beaver felt in midnight blue than anything else. But given Tassie’s usual cooler and even island temps (0-25 usual range) thicker felt is not the issue it would be in warmer...
...Or you can even do what I did and get a dimensional brim, bind it, AND get a thin ribbon instead of a ribbon and bow (thin ribbon like a Campdraft).
There are tons of options but first I would think practically: what range of activities do you want this hat for. If it's strictly for...
I had one RM that too was almost indistinguishable from an older Campdraft I had. Then I picked up a Campdraft Deluxe and the crown was noticably taller ( almost 1/2" taller) Nice hat but Im still trying to get used to the tall crown
...country hats).
The brim is advertised by RM Williams as 7 cm but others on this forum have written that it's 73 mm, i.e. the same as the Campdraft. I measured mine to be 72 mm so within tolerance for the 73 mm Campdraft spec.
Trying to figure out the crown dimensions of one of these before...
Looks like a gloomy, possibly rainy day here in the Piney Woods of East Texas.... Akubra Time!
But which one? I Havent had the Sidewinder out in a while
Or Bluegrass Green Campdraft Imperial......
or the Cedar Brown Campdraft Deluxe
Just an FYI to all Loungers, the David Morgan site is showing the black Campdraft on sale as a discontinued color. If you had a hankerin' for a black CD but have been stalling, now's your time.
Not so sure I like the new Akubra business model.
The first two Akubra hats I purchased from Strand Hatters were delivered within 4 days (Australia to California)
Now that Strand is:
My most recent order, place June 19, is still undelivered (granted it was half price for a Campdraft...)
I don't have a bluegrass green to compare to but this one is a medium dark green, not much blue to it. Someday I'll get me a Campdraft in bluegrass green.
Good afternoon, I’m selling 3 of my Akubra hats that I no longer have a need for.

Hi Boomerang.
Sadly that's correct. They were a special order as an exclusiveade for the Hattery in Katoomba NSW. They had three colours. Cedar Brown, Moonstone and Silver belly. I own a Cedar Brown and a Silver belly and trying to find a Moonstone in 60. After years it's not been easy to find...
