    Fedora Lounge Edition {Everything Australian } Akubra Camp Draft 2 5/8s brim

    My hat was one of the first three shipped (size 62) and it finally arrived yesterday (1/25/13). I plan on doing a diamond bash tomorrow and I'll post a few pics.

    Fedora Lounge Edition {Everything Australian } Akubra Camp Draft 2 5/8s brim

    I'm the third lucky person! This is the first time it has been good to have a large melon. I'm thinking of a diamond bash because I already have a teardrop and a center dent in my other two Campdrafts.

    Fedora Lounge Edition {Everything Australian } Akubra Camp Draft 2 5/8s brim

    I just found out about this hat this morning and placed my order. I have a BG CD but I thought the brim size was too wide so I made a little fixture that held an x-acto knife blade to trim off 1/4 inch. Unfortunately the result was that the brim got anywhere from 1/4 to 3/8 inch narrower...

    Akubra Campdraft

    I wear mine in the rain to the point that the hat gets soaked. I train my Labrador retriever for field trials so it's nothing for me to be in the field in the rain for hours at a time. I let the hat dry naturally indoors but it still shrinks. My experience has been that with this kind of use I...

    Akubra Campdraft

    I have a BG Camp Draft that I bought one size bigger (62 when I wear a 61). It was too big but after wearing it in the rain a few times it is now a little snug. I have to use a hat stretcher occasionally. The next one I buy will be two sizes too big if I know it will be a rain hat. I would only...

    Recommend a stretcher

    I bought two of the modern stretchers from Harbor Freight for $2.00 each. They work just fine. I agree with buying an Akubra hat one size too big. I bought a 62 CampDraft and after a few times in the rain it shrunk to the point that I had to use the stretcher on it.

    Don't Touch My Hat

    Nice except for one HUGE error at 0:30. Never point a gun at anything that you don't want to destroy. Never put your finger on the trigger unless you're ready to pull it. I know the 1911 couldn't fire because the hammer wasn't back but why give the anti's any ammunition to use against us?

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just discovered and love the Masterpiece Mystery movies with Hercule Poirot. It's too bad there are only three per year.

    How popular is the fedora in 2011? Are hats seeing a resurgance finally?

    I'm doing my part here in SE MI. I wore my BG Camp Draft this spring while training my labrador retriever to run hunt tests. Everyone loved it and most are old guys in their 60's. They said it was the reason my dog was so good...
