    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks! Yep, the same.

    Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

    This shirt and I have been through a lot together, and it's still kickin'. Hell, I got married in this shirt 10 years ago (it was a Vegas wedding lol ). The hat hasn't been through nearly as much--a couple of rainstorms, that's it--but I imagine it'll still be kickin' 10 years from now too.

    Not so blazing hot today, so the Campdraft got called into duty. I dunno, looks like Silverbelly to me... ;)

    Post New Hats Here!

    I like that a lot, Torpedo. That is the exact crease I had in mind for when I finally get my Bluegrass Green Campdraft in a few months.

    That looks great! I have to wait until Christmastime to get mine, unfortunately. :( Can we see the top?

    You tightened the pinch, I see, and you have that lopsided brim thing going on...you've been studying pictures of Johnny Depp, haven't you? lol Regardless, it looks good on you. :eusa_clap

    still wearing fur felt in late June

    I was out and about with my wife last weekend when a heavy rainstorm started just as we were coming out of a shop, with no umbrella. I was wearing my Campdraft. I went to get the car, which was a good ways away, so I could pull up to the curb and pick up my wife. I took my good sweet time...

    I've done it with vintage hats, but the sweatbands were in good shape, and we're not talking major stretching here. It's certainly less traumatic than taking a hat over your knee and stretching it or even stretching it on a hat jack.

    No problem. I'm glad I thought to clarify. I would never suggest applying steam directly to the sweatband; probably not a good idea. ;)

    By the way, with this method you just steam around the hatband (basically you're steaming the sweatband area, just on the outside of the hat). People always say when you're shaping a crown not to steam the sweatband or hatband, but I've found that with this limited application, it doesn't hurt...

    I don't know for sure, but I have a feeling they don't, or else they would have listed that service on their website. I would email Sam at EA and ask him that question, though. In the meantime, maybe someone else that has dealt with EA can say for sure. IIRC, Akubra won't block their hats...

    What size Campdraft do you need, Neophyte? EA's website says they're out of the Bluegrass Green size 60 now.

    Very nice, Mr. Paladin! I like those straw Whippets a lot.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Your mentioning the Bluegrass Green Campdraft makes me ache with longing because I have to wait until Christmastime for the one I pre-ordered from EA to come in. :( I guess the BG is more of a specialty item so the 3-month rule for special orders doesn't apply. It's just whenever they get them in.

    Now that's real knowledge talking. Thanks, Michaelshane.

    Alright. I'm glad we understand each other. :cheers1:

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    There's received knowledge and there's knowledge acquired through experience. I've actually owned a couple of 50's-vintage silverbelly Open Road-style hats (one a very high-quality small label custom Open Road clone and one an actual Stetson Open Road) and neither looked like exactly the same...

    I wouldn't, but that's just me.
