Akubra Campdraft
Thank you very much for that information! My email is off to the ladies at The Hattery! -
Akubra Overload
And look at the experience you've gained with the hat that is soon to be replaced! I'm not saying the episode was fun or stress-free, but the knowledge is valuable. And I, for one, am grateful you shared it with us. -
Akubra Overload
I saw your earlier posts but did not comment as I've never experienced the shedding you described. I wasn't sure from written description, but the pics really tell the tale. I hear it can be a pain with Australian shipping, but I would consider having that hat replaced. -
Akubra Overload
Summers in my region are short and mild. We have our heat-waves and humidity occasionally, but I wear my Akubra felts year-round. I don't own a "straw" of any sort (yet). The 8 CDs and a Moonstone Bushman with a cattleman crease (my first open-crown hat purchase) are my standard rotation for... -
Akubra Overload
Welcome to the Lounge. I have 8 Campdrafts and 3 Bushman hats and I've experienced this effect on a couple of hats. If I remember correctly, both were Campdraft Deluxe (Heritage grade felt). I used johnnycanuck's method of water/massage successfully on one. The other l left alone and the... -

Brim Trim - Will 1/8" Make a Noticeable Difference?
Adding another hat or two to your collection will give you options and might take the pressure of perfection off the hat in question. Just a thought. -

Really like that bow and ribbon work! Congratulations Brent, and great job @belfastboy -
Akubra Stylemaster thoughts and opinions
The fit on my head was just fine when I owned a Stylemaster, and I wear my hats deep as well. But in the end it is difficult to say as all heads are different. -
Akubra Stylemaster thoughts and opinions
From the David Morgan website... "The pinched telescope crown is 4¼ inches at the front, rising to 4¾ inches on the side and then down to 3⅞ inches in the back." -
Akubra Campdraft
Thanks folks! That answers that. And I'm alongside Brent in regard to waiting to see what DM will carry. -

Akubra Campdraft
I got curious, did some searching around other Akubra sellers, and found that Australian Gear is also carrying the Campdraft in black. https://www.australiangear.com/akubra-campdraft-hat-black.html?size=487 Has anyone ever purchased hats from Australian Gear? If their customer... -
Akubra Campdraft
Thanks for the heads-up! Not to drop a turd in the stew, but haven't some Loungers had issues with packaging from this vendor? I'm not saying I won't pursue a black Campdraft (!), but I might offer to pay more and have it shipped in a proper hat box if that is not their SOP. -
How do folks react to your hat wearing?
In the dairy aisle at the grocery store in my Moonstone Campdraft (and black mask), a passing toddler pointed and exclaimed from his seat in the cart "look mommy, a COWBOY!" -
Western, anyone?
That hat gets a "holy smokes" from me. Yessir, I like that one an awful lot. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
How I remember the particularities of stalagmites and stalactites: stalactites hang from above, so they must hold on tightly. "Stalac-tights." -

Akubra questions
I've owned three Fed IVs, all Imperial Grade (standard - not deluxe), and I didn't have any noticeable shrinkage on any of them. Two of these hats saw some pretty heavy rain, and all three were shaped by soaking them with room temperature, misted, distilled water. Your use of steam may be... -
Ask a question, get an answer
The crowns are similar in shape, but not identical. My experience is that there is "more crown" to work with on a Camp Draft. -
Akubra Overload
To steal a line I've seen here before, it looks perfectly imperfect! That's why I love hand-bashed hats. I just see a huge step-up in personality over a machine-pressed crease. -
Akubra Campdraft
My latest Hattery box with 2 Campdraft Deluxe sat in an Australian airport for 2 full weeks, then made it to Washington state in 3 days. It arrived just last Wednesday. Something about holiday shipping traffic, I guess. -
Post New Hats Here!
Quite nice indeed! I'm loving the "dirt" color, Brent. The ribbon and brim-binding lend a terrific contrast.
