scotty,
I am the original poster, and I posted the message you quoted above.
I have BOTH a 58cm Fed IV and a 59cm Campdraft. When I first got the Campdraft, I thought it was too big. I was actually plannig to sell it. After wetting the sweatband several times, and wearing the hat for a...
I think the real answer is to replace the 58 with a 59. I have a 59 Campdraft and don't have that problem with it. However, I felt the 59 was too big when I got it. Now, it's great.
I'd like to try anything short of getting a new hat. I'll pad the sides, but if I need a 59, making the...
Folks,
Hope all is well here. I haven't been on for a while.
Although I love my 58cm Fed IV, I don't like it as much when I put it on. I've got a long oval cranium, and if I need to pull the hat down a little because of wind, the sides of the brim curve up in a wave. It looks horrible...
Okay, it's mine
Folks,
Thanks to you, and Ron from Hats Direct. I tried the water trick, and the hat now fits fine. Looks great with my overcoat.

Gents,
Thanks for all the advice and kind words. Just remember, once I try any of these suggestions, the hat is mine. If the advice works, all the better for me since I like this particular Campdraft. If it doesn't... I'll be back here trying to sell it to someone that it WILL fit...
Fitting a Campdraft
(I reposted this from a short email trail in the Classified section. It's more appropriate here, or perhaps even some place else...)
I acquired a 59cm Campdraft. It arrived on Christmas Eve. It's simply to big for my noggin, even though a 59cm Fed IV fits me just fine...
INCLUDING shipping? Hmmmmm. I shopped around and was happy with my price, so that rate was not available when I ordered. I'd be willing to bargain, trade, whathaveyou if someone wanted to make an offer. I just wanted to explore the idea of selling it outright rather than paying the return...
Folks,
I have a 59cm Campdraft in Taupe Fawn that's simply too big for me. It arrived Christmas Eve from Australia. Earlier this year, I had purchased a 59 Fed IV and it fits nearly perfectly, so I ordered the Campdraft in 59 as well. Imagine my disappointment, sitting in front of the...
Gentlemen,
I wanted to pass on a few things, and pose a few questions.
My Fed IV arrived today from Hats Direct in Australia. I ordered it on 25 Nov. It's 3 Dec. 'Nough said.
I measured my noggin at 59cm and ordered a 59cm hat. Even though I consider myself a 23" long oval, the...
Folks,
I know this thread is old, but I'd love to see the pics on the first page (I get the red X in the little white box) about ribbon replacement, and if anyone has a link to how-to-make a bow, that would be great as well.
Thanks much,

Jack,
Thanks. There is quite a nice men's clothing store with a large variety of hats 25+ miles from my house--Stark&Legum in Norfolk. I took the drive. It was the right thing to do as the closer western store only had very stiff cowboy hats. Nice folks working there, too. Unfortunately...
My cranium appears to be a long oval...
Folks,
Greetings to all. This is my first post. Thanks for the forum.
This thread seemed to be the closest wrt the questions I have. Apologies if the answers are elsewhere. I still have not obtained my first fedora, but I am serious about doing...
