    Akubra Campdraft

    This box was thin cheesy junk. Merchants know postal employees aren't too concerned about parcel integrity. Merchants should anticipate that something heavy will be tossed on top of the hat box and should adjust accordingly. I will order from them again but will request my package be double...

    Akubra Campdraft

    My Imperial Bushman has a noticeably smoother finish. The visual surface of the Heritage Campdraft appears no different but is not as smooth to the hand. The sweat band is a bit wider but seems to be the same quality leather. Don't get me wrong. I love the hat. I can tell it is going to be very...

    Akubra Campdraft

    I've read a lot of questions in the lounge about Campdraft fit and finish, suppliers and shipping so I thought I would share my experience. My new Heritage Campdraft from Hatsdirect arrived yesterday. I was very concerned when I got home and saw the box. It was "Tore up" as we say up here in...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Well I've been reading this thread and other Campdraft threads for a week now since my wife asked me what she and the kids can get me for my birthday. It was tough but I gave into the temptation and just ordered a 60 LO Campdraft in silverbelly Heritage from HD. I liked the idea of a denser felt...

    Akubra Campdraft

    I like a brim closer to 3" that 2-1/2" how does the Campdraft fall in that range? Do they vary much? Also. Has anyone compared the Heritage with the Impeial? Some say they can't see any difference. Is it worth it to go with Hatsdirect if Im just going to waste an additional $40-$50 on a felt...

    Ribbon source

    Looking for hat ribbon source I'm looking for a good source for grosgrain ribbon for hats. I have a few beaters I've picked up over the years and I' getting into fixing then up. I've tried to find grosgrain ribbon at the local chain fabric stores but there is very little color variety and...

    Fed III

    Looking for a Fed III in 7.5 (60+). I don't recal if they came in a lighter color than brown but if so I would prefer one in tan. If not brown will do.

    Leather jacket alterations

    Does anyone have any experience or input on alterations on an Aero jacket. Does Aero do alterations. I've had my half belt for a couple of months now and thought about changing a couple things. I live on the west coast USA so I would have to ship it.

    The best leather conditioner ?

    What about Huberd's? It's primary ingredient is beeswax and pine tar. I've used it for years on my work boots and even used it on a pair of thin calf skin leather glove I bought in the eighties. I don't believe it contains any silicone or animal oils. Works great For me.

    Mold on felt

    Excellent advice friends. Thank you. When I bought the hat at the feed store it had the standard ranchers crown and had that pink undertone in sunlight, as Stetson silverbellys do, so I re-blocked it with my Hat Shaper and coffee stained it to get rid of the pink. I think any color loss from...

    Mold on felt

    Hi. Willybob here. I need some advice from the FL brain trust. I recently wore my silverbelly wide brim Stetson in the rain, clearing gutters and drainage and it became soaked through and through. I made the mistake of setting it brim down on an oak steamer trunk and forgot about it. 2 days...
