I am envious! I have wanted one of those for awhile now. I opted for the Heritage grade Silverbelly but that Mid-Brown is definitely next on the list. Wear it in good health!
Again, I know we haven't even received the Heritage grade Silverbelly yet but I just received an answer from HD. It is possible to get the Heritage grade Campdraft in Mid Brown if we get a minimum of 48 orders in sizes 55-61. I am definitely getting the Silverbelly and will buy the Mid-Brown if...
I realize that we don't even have our hands on the Heritage grade Campdraft in Silverbelly yet (or placed the orders for that matter), but I was thinking about the possibility of adding another color to the batch of felt they are making into the Silverbelly Campdraft. I fired off another e-mail...
Mid-Brown CD in Heritage....but what would be better is if they created the same CD line up in the Heritage quality altogether, much like they did for the Fed IV. I would purchase one of each!
It appears that our endeavor isn't dead in the water according to the response below from HD:
The 48 hats needed in the size 62 and up is required by Akubra - as they have a minimum number (48) for a dye run and because the larger hats use a heavier weight felt for the hoods, this large...
Wrote another e-mail to Hats Direct in an effort to keep this going:
Hi Ron/Jenny,
I am writing in the hope that you can still place the order for a Heritage Quality Campdraft in Silverbelly. I am convinced that we can get the 88 orders required through the Fedora Lounge. The 48 orders for a...
The dream is dead? Come on fellas! I think we can get 88 orders for them on here! We just have to convince them to drop the 62+ size requirement. Maybe if we all e-mail Ron again, he will liase with Akubra and we can still get this done. We can't let this go so easily. I cancelled my order for a...
88 hats....thats a tall order! How many do we have so far? I agree with JTL above....over half the order needs to be size 62 or larger? I'm not sure if there are 48 fellas here that require a hat that size.
Another vote for the original dimensions and trim. I wouldn't be in on the deal if it involved modification beyond the upgrades inherent to the Heritage Quality.
Good question....to which I have no answer. If HD can't do it, then maybe this can be done individually at the factory. I'm sure Jenny will enlighten us.
I would like mine made by the original dimensions with original trim. I believe Hats Direct will trim a brim to an individual's specifications; is that correct Jenny?
I am excited about this hat! Who will be in charge of communicating our combined trim preference (keeping everything original/as is) to Hats Direct? I recommend gtdean handles this since he is the one that got the ball rolling on this great opportunity. Since we have learned that Akubra can...
Yep I frequent this thread every now and then to see what new purchases have been made and to see if Neo has broken down and bought another. Of course the pics are great too.....much too great in fact (my wife might block this site soon); seems they entice a fellow to go ahead and buy another...
