Too bad we can't convince Hats Direct to carry the mid-brown campdraft as a stock item.
So last night, I finally went at my new silverbelly with some distilled water and my Lounge studies. I was going for a diamond bash, and I guess it's not too bad; couple rounded spots make it look like a teardrop is trying to break free ...
Looks very nice Jim, good job on the bash.

That is a VERY NICE job of creasing that hat Jim. Though it's not my personal favorite, if I wanted one like it I would send mine to you to get that crease put in it

I like it Jim. It seems to me that you really captured the color . How was the fit out of the box?
I decided to send my 58 CD back to Australia to exchange for a 59. Thats adding $50 to the cost. I probably would have been better off selling the 58 in the US and buying a new 59. Oh well, figured you keep these hats for a long time, better to have the right one.
With any kind of clothing, including hats, when you first get into it there is a certain irreducible amount of trial and error going along with it. You can't get away from mistakes and bad luck . But hopefully the second purchase will be better than the first, and the third better than the second.
My new Camp Draft after the steam bash
The box was trash when it arrived but the hat was in good shape. A little time and a lot of steam makes for a great hat.
I understand now what all the fuss was about. The Camp Draft is a very nice lid
