Ebay and goodwill are full of abused hats that its our moral obligation to rescue!
Perfect timing! Mailman arrived with the new Campdraft Deluxe just as a gap in the storms blew over.
Always an exciting moment when something arrives with a bit of box damage... but it all good inside View attachment 694639
Perfect weather for the RM Williams jacket and a new Akubra. Needed some dusting and will need a bit of steam to clean up a bit of brim and crown shaping ( front keeps snapping back up and it almost looks like it had a cattlemans crease), but Im happy. Love a taller brown hat. An I finally own a Heritage felt Campdraft!

Yep an ebay hat. Ribbon DOES look like it was trimmed a bit. Interior looks really clean and in general felt is in nice shape. Not sure when the last time the Brown CD Deluxe was offered but I havent seen one in quite a while. I was especially thrilled to find a Deluxe in Brown AND in a 59. Just couldnt resistGood score! I was under the impression they don't make CD in this brown anymore; is it an eBay purchase?
Looks like someone trimmed the ribbon as well but it looks better like that, imo.
Looks good Rick!HAPPY FRIDAY!

A shameless brag from a proud Papa. 27 lb.s. 1 3/8” spurs. 11 1/8” beard Everly Mae is a fourth grader and she also got one two years ago…
Fantastic hat, Nathan.Inspired by @carouselvic, I also made it a Dunlap day.
No turkeys to show off though. Congratulations to Everly Mae, that is impressive indeed!

Akubra stopped offering the Cedar Brown Campdraft Deluxe during the pandemic when they ceased production of all Campdraft Deluxe and many other models as well.Yep an ebay hat.

Good to Know! tells me it was fairly well cared for. I needed a nice warmer hat.... 24 hrs ago it was 83 degrees and right now its 56... got to love Texas spring weather!Akubra stopped offering the Cedar Brown Campdraft Deluxe during the pandemic when they ceased production of all Campdraft Deluxe and many other models as well.
Congratulations on your score! Looks to be in great shape.
I had the same issue with my brim wanting to snap back up. I finally applied some steam to convince it I meant business.
Wonderful old Stetson.Can’t read the first number in the Lot No. but I’d guess mid 30s. “Excellent Quality”
Unrivaled felt! They should all be like this.View attachment 694712 View attachment 694713 View attachment 694714 View attachment 694715 View attachment 694716
