I couldn't agree more, Rusty. I wore my silverbelly Campdraft this afternoon. That's what started me thinking I need another one.

Now according to all the vendors out there...Bluegrass green is no longer an option....and you'll probably get an email telling you that very soon. A bunch of us have sent our name in to Everything Australian to be submitted to Akubra, asking for more Camp Darfts in that color...but so far no word yet. I also put a request in for a heritage felt Camp Draft...

Camp Darfts
What other colors do Camp Darfts come in? Don't believe I've ever seen one.

I've got a Cattleman. It's my hot-weather hiking hat - light color (Sand), no lining, six ventilation grommets. It's got a nice bound edge, and comes precreased in a moderate teardrop shape. It has considerably stiffer (and a hair thicker) felt than my Federation. Like all Akubras, it's very tough and well made: after two summers of use, it still looks new, apart from the gold lettering on the sweatband having been sweated away...
It's an outstanding shade hat, but for me, its 3-1/4 inch brim is just a bit too wide for wearing anywhere but in the woods. It looks pretty cowboy hat-like, which is quite uncommon and eccentric in this part of the world. (I am far more comfortable wearing my Stockman, with its more moderate 2-3/4 inch brim.)
That personal issue aside, I can see why it's a popular hat - it's a very practical, classic model. Another outstanding bargain with the current pricing, if it fits your needs... (Geez, as of today: only $67 including shipping from Everything Australian!)

That is a great looker and one Akubra style I want but do not have. Thanks for posting about it as it has nudged me again toward a Cattleman. Cheers

Another Cattleman
Here's a Cattleman in a dark brown color. I second everything that Dr. Strange said about this hat -- especially his comment about the brim being a bit too wide for everyday wear. It does, indeed, have a bit of a cowboy look - although that might not be the case on a guy with a bigger frame than I have.
The second photo shows the color more accurately - but since I got this hat on EBay, I don't know what Akubra calls this medium brown.

I suspect it's "Fawn" - but on my monitor, the first picture looks more accurate, while the second looks kinda purple-ish. (But it's a really great angle for showing the hat's shape.)
Hey, I'm a Hudson Valley guy too, Jecoe - Peekskill area. Whereabouts are you?

Jecoe and Dr. S, I think you both wear that hat well. The brim's a little to wide for my taste, but you both look good in it. I like both colors too.

Dr. S -
I just double-checked the hat itself and the color is in between the two photos: not as dark as the first, and not as purple as the second. It's probably Akubra's "chocolate."
As for being another Hudson Valley guy - I'm a bit north of you and on the other side of the River in Greene County - near Catskill. (south of Albany).
