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/
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.

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...
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?
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?
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...
I was just about to post the same sale
Here's a shortcut link to the hats that are on sale

As others point out the hats aren't 20% off what he usually sells for, but his usual prices are already...
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?
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.
