Congrats! I just received my first Campdraft in Taupe a couple of weeks ago and I love it. It is amazingly comfortable. I have a couple of Cattleman hats in size 59, but they always seemed a little tight. I ordered the Campdraft in a 60 and it makes all the difference in the world. I have my...
For sale is a "like new" Akubra Cattleman in Fawn, Size 59 because it turns out that I should be using one size up. I purchased it from hatsbythe100 less than a year ago, and it has only been worn a handful of times. Asking $95 shipped. If you have any questions, please message me. Thank you!
I have two Cattleman hats in size 59 one in Sand and one in Fawn. Neither ever really fit me right, so I removed the wire from, and stretched the Sand hat to an acceptable comfort level. The Fawn has hardly been worn or touched. But, I just got my first Campdraft in Taupe from Hats by the...
Hello everyone! I have a seemingly stupid question, but I am completely serious. I am relatively new to Akubra hats (or any felt hats for that matter) and have two Cattleman hats, one sand and one fawn. Over the past year it has gotten slightly wet with rain a handful of times, but nothing...
Well, I went for it. And just like Fedster said, there was an unstretchable wire inside. I honestly felt a difference immediately, even before using the hat stretcher for the night. When the wire was inside, it exerted a lot more pressure at the front and after a few minutes of wear I could feel...
Thanks again. I really appreciate your opinion and will likely give it a whirl on one of the two hats, and if I like it, I'll do it on both since the hat jack and steaming are not quite doing the job. Thanks to everyone for the advice and for helping me to understand the risks and benefits.
Fedster, Thank you tons for the information (and thanks to everyone who replied to the "new guy"). I am really happy to have found this forum. I am 97.6% sure I am going to try this on one of the hats to start, but before I did, I wanted to ask if in your experience the hat becomes "floppy" or...
Pardon my ignorance, but could you explain what the "read of the headband" is? I tried a quick google search for an explanation but couldn't find anything. Also, in order to cut out the wire, do you need to remove the headband completely? Thanks!
Hi Everyone. I am new to the forum and new to owning Akubra hats (cattleman). They are the first felt hats I have ever owned, and I am already very fond of them. I ordered one in Fawn, and although it felt just a teeny bit tight, after a few days it really softened up and felt pretty good. I...
