Why don't the AU sites have the Bushman? Was it replaced by the Campdraft? I'm looking to buy one and I'd prefer the bigger brim on the Bushman. Only place I see to order is David Morgan.
Also, are Akubras sized fairly true? I've been wearing my hair shorter and fitting 7 3/8 or 59 better in Stetson, Biltmore, Beaver, and my straw hats. I'm just double checking since it'd be impractical to return an order from EverythingAustralian.

Wearing my MSCD today.
It seems most of those who don't like the Campdraft & by association the Open Road think they look too Western regardless of crease. The Diamond, Teardrop, & Cattleman probably being the most common, it's been shown throughout these various threads the CD/OR can look good with a Telescope or a center crease also.I know this approaches heresy here, but I've never been very interested in the Campdraft (for me, that is; it looks great on many guys here). The moonstone CDs, however, are really sweet, and very tempting!
The Akubras are sized a tad large so that, after the initial shrinking from normal sweating, they'll fit perfectly. This has been the case for me with all four of my Akubras. If you have any questions, you might want to give the ladies at Hats Direct a call. They're very nice and extremely helpful.Why don't the AU sites have the Bushman? Was it replaced by the Campdraft?

The difference is the Campdraft does not have the cattleman crease. You can bash it into any shape you want. It can end up looking like the Open Road, the Stratoliner, or just about any shape. The Campdraft gives you a lot of options.It seems most of those who don't like the Campdraft & by association the Open Road think they look too Western regardless of crease.

Jack knows well that the CD comes open crown ... he owns many of themThe difference is the Campdraft does not have the cattleman crease. You can bash it into any shape you want.

and up until Stetson started to suck Open Roads also came open crown ... as most hats did when hats were of better quality
"Jack" may well know a lot of things, but from the post it was implied that the CD was a cattleman crease and therefore western. Not all of us know the history or itemized wardrobe of the other contributors and take the comments at face value. If I offended Jack with my incorrect assumptions I offer him my apologies.
I like my CDs and enjoy changing the crown and experimenting; however, I have never liked the Open Road style be it a Stetson or another make. It does feel too western to me, and while others pull it off we'll, it feels unnatural for me.
Now you are making erroneous assumptions about what I said and/or implied. I well know the history of Akubra and it's connections to Stetson. Perhaps it is best to let it go? Particularly since you are interjecting yourself into what, if anything, should be between the poster "Jack" and me. Again, if I have offended I apologize. I did re-read the post and perhaps I did make an assumption not intended, but there is the expressed opinion that the CD is western in flavor and that is an opinion that I do not share, thin ribbon and all. As it is an opinion it is neither wrong nor right; just one person's view. Feel free to have opposing views.he never once implied anything about the CD having a cattleman crease ... he even typed "regardless of crease"
he mentioned that some feel it looks western ... which is does ... traditionally a thin ribbon hat is associated with western style... thin ribbon wide brim hats have a western feel regardless of crease by the very nature of the hat.
Akubra was once licensed by Stetson to manufacture Open Roads ... Akubra created the CampDraft ...which is essentially the exact same hat they were making when they made the OR... in direct correlation to their relationship with Stetson .
the CD is Akubras OR
the OR is a western hat

Congratulations! It's a great hat and I'm sure you will love it. Which color did you get?I tried to exercise restraint tonight and only ordered a Campdraft. Deep breaths...

This is becoming petty. I'm out.It is a country style hat ... really not an opinion
sure isn't a town or city style hat
you can think of it however you wish... but it was designed as a country style hat and that is exactly what it is
