Squatter vs. Bushman

Here's an example of a non-western one worn by the man in my avatar later in his life. More military style, but definitely not a lower crown. You're going to need some crown to work with, or the dents will sit right on your head. I'd still say Campdraft, but you might have trouble with any bound brim if you're looking for the super flat look. Frank.

You might be onto something. I want to do the crown bash similar to the one in the photo, but with a pencil curl brim. I already have a glen grey campdraft, so I may experiment with that this weekend.

Thanks,

Harry.

Thats the dimension creased as shown in the Aussie Telescope crease. Seems that is a popular style in Oz. It is sold as an Open Crown hat as gtdean says and is taller that way. The DM Squatters are made with slightly different specs than the ones sold in Oz. All of mine are from DM and have 5 1/4" Open Crowns, liners, made in the same Imperial grade felt as my Bushman ( which has a 5 1/2" open crown ), and has chinstrap hooks attached inside the sweatband and does not have as much taper to the block as I've seen on the ones from Oz.

This is good to know. So EverythingAustralian CD has a taller crown then DM. Looks like I will need to wait 3 1/2 months, if I want a taller crown!

What? No. DavidMorgan's Squatter has the same crown height (5.25'') as the Oz one. The Campdraft is not offered by DM, but it always has a 5.5" crown. The Bushman has the same crown height as the Campdraft.

DM CAN'T offer the CD, it is an Oz ONLY model . And it's brim is shorter than the Squatter, ( Oz or DM model), or Bushman. You can get a Bushman in 3/4 days from DM. It is EXCLUSIVE to him.
