Just heard of some analyst from Commonwealth Bank of Australia calling for further weakening of the Aussie Dollar to 0.5 from 0.64 or so now...WAIT....an Akubra from hats direct may be $50 in a few months...just in time for Xmas...

I did it

I couldn't resist any longer and I finally pulled the trigger on a Bluegrass Green Campdraft from Everything Austrailian. At less than $60 USD it was too good a deal to pass up. Now comes the three months of waiting...maybe if I'm lucky it'll get here in time for the holidays!

I wonder if you'll get one. I don't think they've been able to get bluegrass green for ages, though they seem reluctant to take it off their website. Please let us know.

Is that a mid brown campdraft, Carter? I'm anxious to see what mid brown looks like.

I've been thinking about a mid brown campdraft. I think IC ordered one too. They sure are nice hats.

Too late. I just couldn't resist. These prices are so low it's amazing. I ordered a mid brown Campdraft from Everything Australian for $55.40 plus $11.40 shipping. I know, I'm weak, but this price is almost half what I paid for my silverbelly Campdraft shipped from Hatsdirect. Besides, the Campdraft is a great hat to kick around in.

Mine will probably be January too, but they could come in sooner. I ordered a Stylemaster from Everything Australian, and they said it would be 3 months but it wasn't that long. I think it depends on where Akubra is in the production rotation.

Do you have a link to Toobacat's mid brown?
