Thanks for the responses! Always can count on the members here! I am considering that as a purchase. I'm not seeing any availability on Fawn or tan Campdrafts, I may wait to see if any start to show up in June.
Hi Folks, I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with Miller hats, 100% fur felt (rabbit) underwelt brim in several sizes including 2 3/4, roan leather sweat and satin lining, range of available colors, the "Covington #345" Any ideas how they compare to Akubras?The pricing is roughly...
"Crown Height- ~ 92mm (measured from where low point on crown to base of the internal leather sweat band)"
Doesn't that sound like they are measuring inside from the lowest point of the telescope to the base of the leather sweatband? I'm trying to figure out if you push the telescope out if the...
By the way Cuvier, I'm also looking at the Pastoralist on Everything Austrailan"s site. It Would need to be rebashed to a center dent with a pinch for my tastes but that's possible only I'm not sure of the open crown height.

"or do I wait on the possibility of a CD in the right color showing up?"
I'm with you on the color choices for the Campdraft, I would like a Fawn or Taupe myself. Some suppliers show "Sand" with a tan brim binding some show a similar color body with silver or grey binding called...
Hi, Does anyone know the "unbashed" crown height of the Pastoralist vs the Campdraft? The seem similar in brim size etc. but it's hard to tell on the crown. The Pastoralist is currently avaialble in a few colors that I'm interested in that don't seem to be offered in the Campdraft, Thanks in...
I "discovered" CAS for myself in 1996, joined here in 2005 as part of a search for hats. I shoot in New Jersey with The Quinton Mavericks and the Jackson Hole Gang as "Johnny Crockett" although it's been tough to get out in the last 10 years. I shoot Italian 1873 SAA copies in .45 Colt an...
I was wondering if anyone can comment on these hats construction? I've seen several on Ebay and really like the styles, the prices vary wildly and the best description I see of construction is "wool blend." That being said the texture does look a bit like wool but the liners, sweatbands and...
Be careful with mineral oil!
I've had a personal bad experience with Baby/Mineral oil. When I was riding horses as a kid some folks used baby oil to quickly soften and darken new tack (saddles and bridles.) Normal care of tack also reqires
periodic cleaning with saddle soap and re-oiling...
Three things come to mind that could also have effected those statistics, WW1, The Great Depression and WW 2. Millions? of young men in the military, many factories of all kinds out of business or converted to
war essentials and general lack of disposable income for many people.
I saw the same listing and question and felt compelled to send the seller
a note of encouragement and recommend they block the questioner. I somehow was embarassed for all of us interested in hats by the rude question!:rage:
Thanks
Anyone had experience with those manufacturers? Is the quality similar to an
Akubra? I wish I could try them on in person. The dimensions sound like they will look ok on my face but I've tried some similar hats with larger brims and the didn't look quite right on my noggin.:eusa_doh:
I'm looking for an Amish or Spanish styled hat in decent fur felt. I've seen
a couple offered in basic black that seem to fit the dimensions I have in mind,
3 1/2 to 4" flat- topped crown and a 3 1/2" bound brim. Does anyone have
experience or recommendations on sources? I might also be...
While it may be too late for those gloves, I remember hearing that putting
gloves on and rubbing them with a hand washing motion with DRY oatmeal
will often clean gloves. The other thing I've seen is this clay ball that is for cleaning white buckskin(with a sueded texture I assume) but is...
Try Sears Hardware
I found Ohio Blue Diamond strike anywhere matches in my local Sears
Hardware store here in New Jersey of all places (we're not even allowed to
buy sparklers in this state!). If all the stores haven't closed due to the merger with K-mart they still may have them,
usually...
And Another Thing!
Thank you James Powers, we should also ask how much of that $3.00 a gallon
goes to the government in taxes, talk about excess profits! I heard one statistic that stated the actual price of gas without the government's share
would be about $1.80.
