    Reduced Brand New Heritage Campdraft in Silverbelly, size 63

    If you've kept up with the Heritage CD thread, you'll know that this hat turned out to be a slightly more Fawn-tinted "Silverbelly" than my previous Silverbelly CDs. It's a fine hat, nicer sweatband than the Imperial grades, and I've done no shaping or creasing at all. Will ship with all the...

    HERITAGE grade Akubra Campdraft in Silver Belly Campaign

    No worries Tony, I wasn't responding to you in particular. The "Silverbelly" fedora I got from you remains my favorite all-time wide ribboned hat, and is one of my two favorite hats I own, period. You and Art have always been very specific about what your shades of Silverbelly or Dove or what...

    HERITAGE grade Akubra Campdraft in Silver Belly Campaign

    Let me clarify gentlemen. I know that there are different "Silverbellies." I've had three regulation Akubra Campdrafts in their Silverbelly, plus one in Taupe Fawn and one in Glen Grey. I've had more Resistol and Stetson "Silverbelly" hats than I care to count, vintage and modern. I'm not...

    HERITAGE grade Akubra Campdraft in Silver Belly Campaign

    I got mine today, still on the fence whether I'm wild about it or not. First of all, this is nowhere near Silverbelly, not even Akubra's version of Silverbelly. Mine is a light fawn color. It definitely feels heavier than my Imperial Campdrafts have been, as others have noted. May just be...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thank you sir. We've got some hidden gems most people never see. They usually only get as far as the tennis court or golf course. There's somewhere around 200 miles of hiking trails through our local mountains and reservation, with lots of oases and surprises, but most of them take some...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    We've been showing my father in law from Central America the sights here in the desert. It's over 100 degrees, so please excuse the shorts. Following an old recommendation from RBH, I bought a Dobbs Arcadia and haven't taken it off in several days. Came in real handy so far this weekend. The...

    Squatter vs. Bushman

    Here's an example of a non-western one worn by the man in my avatar later in his life. More military style, but definitely not a lower crown. You're going to need some crown to work with, or the dents will sit right on your head. I'd still say Campdraft, but you might have trouble with any...

    Squatter vs. Bushman

    Harry - just a heads up, if you say you're not a fan of grommets, be aware that the David Morgan Squatters have one visible grommet, and one hidden under the ribbon. If I was going to do a Montana Peak, (and I've done many, but usually on a western hat) I'd want a little more crown to work with...

    Scott - I think I just replied to you on eBay, or else it was another Scott asking for measurements. The measurements posted on the U.S. Wings site on their tab are correct. There's a Spec Chart for the Long Sizes on the tab for the VIP Cowhide. Chest (in half) is 30, back length 30.25, neck...

    And relisted again. Last time for now. If it doesn't sell, I'll just keep it. Thanks, Frank

    HERITAGE grade Akubra Campdraft in Silver Belly Campaign

    I can't access my home email from work, but I noticed a withdrawal from PayPal for the Hattery, so I guess mine is on its way. I'm a size 63, so that puts the larger sizes later theory to rest. I hope it's a good one, as it looks like this hat has cost me about $220. That's the most I've ever...

    No worries. If you decide to go for it before I get a bid, I'd be happy to pull the listing. Frank

    Here's the label and a slightly blurry photo of the nice pebbly grain of the leather. Make an offer, this one needs to go soon. Thanks, Frank

    U.S. Wings VIP Adventurer 3X-Long

    From their website, it looks like this model will be discontinued. I'm the second owner of this great jacket, and it's been well-treated. Soft cowhide, no issues at all. A few places with very minimal signs of wear, like the front edge of the storm flap. Non-smoking home, still smells like a...
