The Merry Mailman just delivered my new Campdraft,....it appears Akubra may have started cutting the ribbons shorter. Maybe?

Your ribbons are certianly shorter than mine - I cut an inch off the front ribbon and it's still longer than the ones in your picture. Come on now, show us the bash!!! :)

Dang guys,......ease up, my wife was out shopping, came home and busted me steaming a bash in the thing. You know,...like the new hat that she didn't know I bought!:eek:
The good thing is; she couldn't get too upset cause she had a car-full of new drapes and curtain rods for the bedroom and needed your's truly to put them up!
After several hours of drape-installation I got the hat done!

A few notes about the hat. I'm a for sure 58.75 cm guy,....so I buy 59's. Those folks in Austrlia sure give you 59cm and then some! I wore all afternoon while taking care of my honey-do's. I sweated it up and then hit it for a few seconds with a hot hair dryer to get it perfect!

It's a nice hat ok, but not anything like the Silverbellys I've always owned. This thing is tan. Nice color though,.....and I guess I should look on the bright side, I still don't have a true "Silverbelly",.....which means I need another hat!

Here it is, nothing special, but I would like to submit my application to The Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon and the Campdraft Confederacy with these "proof of purchase" photos.:)

Sorry, High Pockets. I think RBH started it. He was the one who spouted off about smelling blood... errr... uhmmm.... a new crease... or something like that...:rolleyes:

Welcome to the Campdraft Confederacy*, Sir :eusa_clap!

Now this leads me to a question - are the CD Silverbelly's silver/white or tan? I've seen conflicting images. Can we get a definitive answer?
Next to my Stetson Silver Bellys, the Campdraft is more tan, definitely not as grayish.

BTW, nice new CD & great looking crease job High Pockets, welcome to the Brotherhood & the Confederacy!
