If it is as you say "...a historically significant hat" you DON'T WEAR it. You are merely the repository for a piece of history. -

Akubra Campdraft
I realize that. I had a '23 T bucket that I put a 305 Mustang in, a Jaguar front end and 12" slicks on the rear but it was NOT a '23 Model T anymore :) All I'm saying is let's ackowledge a modified campdraft is no longer a Campdraft, though it IS an Akubra !! Sorta like I order my Ford with the... -

Akubra Campdraft
I find all this "modifying " Campdrafts and other Akubra's interesting. If the style and specifications of the hat model are NOT what one wants, why not find a hat that IS what one wants :) Sounds to me like folks are trying to get a "custom" hat on the cheap :) A Campdraft is a style of hat... -

How many hats is enough?
In the heyday of hat wearing, most men had probably no more than 3 hats at one time and you can only WEAR ONE hat at a time so you decide what YOUR max is :) ( my father back in the 50's/60s had usually only 3 hats he wore at any time as I recall) That's a nice Akubra you picked up at a GOOD... -

Since they are made from rabbit fur why a "warren" will do :) -
New hat stretcher (& advice)
You are needing to go up almost 2 hat sizes and if it were a nice older hat of mine I would NOT try and stretch it myself. To many things can go south in trying to do this without proper equipment and such. If you have it rebuilt ( if you want to wear it on a regular basis rather than just... -

It's pouring rain this am and I've got to haul two horses up to Denton today so it's perfect Bushman weather! -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Good to see a CD in a Cattleman crease and snapped brim!! What is that color? I like it!! Now you need to get out in some RAIN and get it WET!! :) -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I understand. That red would be hard to find in a good felt hat and I don't recall seeing you with a red hat that shade :) -
Good quality hats for under $100
That's not a stupid question. Asking to get info is NEVER stupid :) The CD is an Aussie only model and is not imported to the US because it originally was a Stetson Open Road made under license by Akubra for Stetson for sale in Australia years ago. Creasing a hat ( we crease them in the US... -
Good quality hats for under $100
I wear both models and would have to say the Stylemaster is the hat I grab to wear when I put on a jacket and tie ( my Sydney will also do "dress" chores with a couple of my suits as well) and use my CD as a more "relaxed" hat style. Just depends on the type of wear that will be done as to which... -

'Fraid your pic does not show clearly what you say " .... just looks smooshed" . Do you have a frontal pic of the crease? Do you mean that the front crease is not close enough or deep enough? From the pic it sure looks like a decent front pinch. Are you looking to make a "Raiders" style of sharp... -

Good quality hats for under $100
'Fraid you are apt to be dissapointed in what's available in a NEW fur felt hat for UNDER $100.0 Unless it is mabe an Akubra model on sale or one bought used from a fellow Forumer ( as I did recently with my Mid-Brown CD) theres not much available. Add another $50.00 to that and a whole 'nuther... -
I love the Fed IV!!
I've owned and worn Akubra hats for OVER 30 years now and as ALL fur felt hats, over some time hats will change shape crown wise as well as brim wise. My 32 yo Bushman is beat to hell and does not look EXACTLY like my newer (3 YO ) Bushman but it is STILL wearable. A fur felt is made from... -
Hat stolen!!!!
I have 4 cats currently and have had cats for over 40 years and never had any of them do more than give my hats a curssory sniff or two and walk off. Now, shedding is another story, especially white cats and black hats :) -
I love the Fed IV!!
That was what Steve recomended for HIS product not an Akubra. He has his reasons for doing this but I would not presume that what he says about HIS product would be the same for another manufacturers. Akubra's been making a LOT of hats for FAR LONGER than he has. The only thing I can see this... -

Your only choices for a vintage style Open Road style hat are those made by either Akubra (Campdraft) or Borsolino (Allessandria). Stetson's version made today is different in many ways from it's original and Resistol no longer makes the San Antonio which was their OR version. Both the Borso and...
