Hey all. I really love the shape of the King of the PCH as done by Zito and his team. I couldn’t afford their stuff so I got a Camp Draft and made my own! What do you guys think?

Also, does anyone have experience with the wrinkling on the sand color of Akubra when shaped? Not sure if that will go away when i decide to change shape in the future.

Man that looks great!

The "wrinkling" is called "spidering" by a lot of folks. You can do a TFL search for the term. There is a lot of discussion about it, particularly in reference to Akubras.

Thank you! From what I’ve read so far, it’s something that happens due to felt quality. Any idea how to get rid of it?
