Site says they have Campdraft 8n the following „Colours: Black, Mid Brown, Silver Belly, Carbon Grey, Bluegrass Green and SkyGrey.“
Price looks crazy cheap too....
Could be a coincidence, but the hat I mentioned that I was actually after where the Manhattan came with it - that was my gray Windsor that is just like yours.... with the cool pleated ribbon-work.
Here’s a hat I actually forgot I had. It came as part of a deal on a hat I was actively after. Given the generic-ness of the logo and other text, it’s hard to find much of anything about it. The felt is actually quite nice... I’m not a fan of deep teardrops like this so I’ll have to try a...
Wow. I just noticed that the STETSON.eu site has the standard 6x Open Road for a whopping 389€? The basic Shantung is 159€. I knew it would be more expensive over here... I guess that’s why I never looked until now.... but that’s crazy-town.
Thanks for the info. I found it on on EBay over here, not in the auctions but in the classifieds. I can’t remember if they have that in the states, but it’s essentially like Craig’s List.
I like a black hat from the neck up (I have the gray hair required for maximum contrast!)... but it never...
Hey Moon! Thanks... I had just gotten it in right before the Shore Club was finally delivered and sent you a pic or two in that conversation.
I do love it... but dang, black hats are hard to wear.
Yessir. Raw edge.
The felt has a luxurious feel to it, though overall a bit firmer than you’d think for a relatively thin felt. Dense and rich is what I’d describe it as.
I think the firmness is more due to it having been very rarely worn. Though I suck at it, it feels easy to crease.
Some body got this off eBay over here. A BIN sale seemingly seconds before I could hit the button... any loungers wanna fess up?
The ebay details are gone so I could only grab this thumbnail from my “ended” list... <sniff>
Sorry... I though I had, but apparently I did not.
Just posted some to the Playboys on Parade thread:
Playboys on Parade!
– SPOLIER ALERT – I‘m a crapulent photographer.
As requested in the Ebay Victories... etc... thread, here are some more detailed pics of the black German–made Playboy I lucked out on a while back. Moon had put it at late 50‘s and I tend to trust his judgement.
I suck at taking hat photos... but here goes.
My imperial Campdraft in Bluegrass green hasn‘t really shrunk at all. I did keep a stretcher in it early on out of F.L. induced paranoia, not much tension just to hold it where it was. I don‘t even bother with that much now and I haven‘t noticed any problems yet. The one change I’ve noticed is...
Just got this in... and am heartbroken since the it’s just too small for me. Can anyone give me a bit of info on this in terms of age? I will say, this thing is blowing my mind. I‘m not an expert, I have handled a few westerns before... but none have been this soooffft. I had no idea...
