Akubra Campdraft

[Fedora64]

Does the Akubra Campdraft lend itself to being reshaped easily or does it need to be blocked?

I just got a campdraft in glen gray and it took me about ten seconds to bash it into a pinch front diamond. Alarmingly easy. You touch it and it almost shapes itself.

Fedora 64 there is a massive thread all about the Campdraft here:

But to answer your question, the Campdraft is not hard to shape by hand and it certainly doesn't need blocking unless you want to send it off to get blocked. Just a kettle for steam and a little bit of patience and you can shape it however you want.

Where is good place to purchase one in the USA?

Nowhere. You've got to go with the Australian web dealers.
