    Akubra Campdraft brown

    It seems that I'm about to have an RM as well as a Brown CD. Trudi at Hats Direct is ordering a Campdraft Deluxe in Cedar Brown. I've created a separate thread here http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/akubra-campdraft-deluxe-cedar-brown.88263/

    Akubra Campdraft Deluxe - Cedar Brown

    I just heard from Hats Direct that they have ordered a batch of Campdraft in Cedar Brown. It's a 2-3 month wait but I've put my order in. https://hatsdirect.com/

    Akubra Campdraft brown

    From my local RM Williams store. The RM Williams store closest to me doesn't have my size in stock. So it's being transferred overnight from another store. Then it's a 15 minute drive once I get the call that the hat is in store. The benefit being an Australian that is into Akubra hats...

    Akubra Campdraft brown

    I've found a Stetson Open Road in Walnut. What colour is Walnut? It looks somewhere between Fawn and Cedar Brown. Is that close? How does Stetson compare to Akubra for durability? How does it handle the rain?

    Akubra Campdraft brown

    Thanks. I'll start looking for the RM. Neither EA or Hats by the 100 seems to have stock in my size (60). I might be in for a bit of a wait.

    Akubra Campdraft brown

    Thanks guys. I've got a fawn Fed IV, Banjo & Stylemaster. I think a darker brown CD would be a better addition to my collection

    Akubra Campdraft brown

    I'd like to get a mid to dark brown Campdraft style hat. Akubra doesn't make a CD in that colour. What other hats are similar to the CD and come in brown?

    Akubra FD4 Deluxe

    Order 1 size up. I did when I bought my first Fed IV Deluxe. I had reducing foam behind the sweatband for about 12 months. The hat now fits perfectly without reducing foam. I think after initial shrinkage the leather is pretty stable. But, worst case, you order 1 size bigger that you are...

    Reshape brimming

    I want to reshape the brim of an Akubra Traveller so it's a but more fedora like. I've cut the brim down so it's 70mm wide (and no longer has the stiffening reed). I've got a bit of a curve in the brim but it's uneven, especially at the back. Any suggestions?

    Advice needed - Akubra Federation IV

    I got my Moonstone Federation IV back from the milliner today. Thanks for all the suggestions. As many of you said, it looks great with a grey suit. I think the slighy darker grey bound brim gives it a vintage, more formal look.

    Advice needed - Akubra Federation IV

    I received my Moonstone Fed today. I'm getting the brim bound in a vintage light grey ribbon. I'll post pics when it's done.

    The only time I imagine I'd be disappointed with that answer is if I asked for another whisky.
