Akubra Campdraft

[Kreissaege]

I couldnt pm you, so here it is:

The colour is called "Heritage Fawn" and as pictured the colour is quite accurate.
Here is another pic with different light:

The Leisure Time below is in "Regency Fawn". Very similar, but a bit more brown.
I got mine from www.aussiebushhats.com, but unfortunately they started a while ago to list the BP as made to order only.
Hatsdirect have the BP in stock in Heritage Fawn and are really fast with delivery:

Here's a noggin shot of my new bluegrass green camp draft. A lot like the mid or glen grey in terms of color but has the blue/green overtones as it were. I like this color a lot. As I posted in the new hats thread, I just wish Akubra would come up with some much lighter shades of all their colors, except of course black. Call me a renegade but I'm just more into lighter shades all year round.

And thats how the CD turned out after some hardcore shrinking:

I like the pinch/crease on your Campdraft.

Nice Bash

Kreissaege, that bash on the CD fits you very well. Not talking about the size, but the style going with your features. Nice job.

:arated: And I like the tighter pinch on RedHawks2. Each one suits the features of the wearer very well.

These two examples illustrate how the Open Road style has something for everyone. I can't think of a more versatile style of Fedora.

For those of us who have not yet tracked down a vintage the Campdraft is surely a blessing.

Never mind.

Bluegrass green Camp Draft

My bluegrass green Camp Draft arrived today. I realy like to color and look forward to some cooler weather to be able to enjoy this addition. here are some pictures.

Looks sort of "sage"ish in the outdoor shot, Dundee. Very nice... :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

High Crown on Campdraft?

I am looking to purchase a new hat. I like the Akubra Campdraft. The crown looks to be very high after it's bashed. Can you make the bash lower. A hat with a high crown just doesn't look right on me! Any suggestions similar to the Campdraft?

 

[Dundee]

That is a very good description of the color. A very good color for the upcoming fall season.

 

[Kreissaege]

Give the CD a try. You can lower the crown nearly as much as you like, have a look here:

I wasnt too sure myself, whther the Cd would suit me, it always appeared to be so big in the crown on the pics from other users.
But I didnt regret buying one, its my favourite by now.

The CD is an open crown which means you can bash it how you like - high or low. If you want a low crown, a classic "C" or teardrop bash will use a lot of material up and therefore bring the height down. Want it high? Use a center dent. In other words, don't worry about it and go order one

Nice one Dundee - it really does change colour between a grey and green depending on the light doesn't it? I just pulled the trigger on another CD myself - a Glen Grey one from Hats Direct. Should be here in about 3 weeks, can't wait to post new pics.

Also, you may find over time, as many of us did, that a higher crown really does suit you better. They just take some getting use to. My first stetson was such a low crown that I don't wear it at all anymore.

...I just pulled the trigger on another CD myself - a Glen Grey one from Hats Direct...

Excellent! Think you'll really like that shade 3F.

It does do that. I think you will realy enjoy the Glen Gray Camp Draft.

One of the great things about a Camp Draft is that it is so darned easy to bash and re-bash...even for a complete novice like me. This my first one. After this photo was taken, I decided that I wanted the crown a bit shorter. With almost no effrort...and with very little steam...I was able to re-bash it into a shorter-crowned teardrop. I've worn it that way since and it has held the bash nicely, through sun and rain.

Nice hat Atticus. Can we get a similar shot of your rebashed CD, shorter crown version?

 

[Not-Bogart13]

Well, I don't have my CD anymore, but my Fed III had the same open crown height. I think I tested the possibilities when I did this to it...
