    Akubra Campdraft

    In response to betron. I run between sizes 7 1/2 and 7 5/8. Last year I bought a Campdraft deluxe because I wanted it in Moonstone (which I love) size 61. I used every bit of the window insulation stuff, I mean Hat sizer, to size it down a little. It is still a little big on me, I am not sure...

    Stetson One Hundred Finally Appears on Goodwill Auction Site

    LOL, I bid on that hat too; and did not match the big bids for the same reasons above. If I could hav eheld that hat, maybe. But not a virtual sell. So much for goodwill being my "secret" site. :)

    Thanks for the kind words on the crease ya'll. My work season kicks off next week and I am looking forward to wearing my CD with my suit. Time to look sharp.

    Akubra Campdraft

    After a little more than a month of learning about hats thanks to the folks in this forum, my Camp Draft Heritage in Moonstone arrived last week and I put the bash in it over the weekend. Actually rolling the felt into place was way more fun than I expected it to be and I am looking forward to...

    Steam shaping a snap brim ?

    Just to be clear, what I want to do is pull the front brim of the hat -- with the roll up -- down about the width of the ribbon, maybe a little less. When I do it with my fingers it is enough to reduce the roll in front slightly and looks better on me IMO. I am probably making a bigger deal out...

    Steam shaping a snap brim ?

    If I take some steam, or water, to the front of my new campdraft to pull the brim down slightly (leaving it rolled) to get a little more of a western cowboy shape out of the brim -- does it effect the 'snap' in the brim any way? Will the shape I leave it in be the new "unsnapped" look? (As in if...

    Akubra Campdraft

    My Heritage Campdraft just arrived today and I have been fiddeling with the bash/brim before I post a pic. I really love the Open Road "rolled up" brim, but I would also liketo see what my brim would look like more of a cowboy hat style on the brim. If I tried that, is getting it back to the...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Its been almost 2 weeks since I ordered my Campdraft, in between checking the front porch for the UPS carrier I have been reading up on how to put a cattleman's crease in it myself -- is it really as simple as shown in this video? Are there any drawbacks to using steam (I am thinking potential...

    Akubra Campdraft

    This hat's brim is more what I am interested in. But the stetson OR's traition in my family was definitely on the grey side. I am really looking forward to getting this CD. I hope an expensive habit is not in the making...

    Akubra Campdraft

    This pic sealed the deal. It looks exactly like the OR my great grand dad and great uncles wore in West Texas. I got no idea if it will look good on me, but there is only one way to find out. I just hope the shipping from hats direct is closer to 10 days than 3 months. No we play the waiting...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Does anyone have pics of a campdraft in Moonstone and/or Glen Grey with a Cattlemens bash? If there is such a thing is this thread, I missed it. I am happy to be redirected to post xxxxx. E

    Open Road questions ??

    By stretching a size and a half I meant taking it from a 7 3/8 to somewhere between a 7 1/2 and 7 5/8, but that idea might just show how much i do not know about stretching a hat.
