Akubra Campdraft
Can't help you out with photos of both. I've had both but got rid of the Squatters due to the low crown height, too low for my taste. Yours may vary though. If I was going for a grey colored squatter, it'd be the moonstone = GREAT color. IMHO -
Akubra Campdraft
I've seen Camp Draft in the sweatbands of Imperial grade hats & Campdraft in Heritage grade. The word is "campdraft" or "campdrafting" which is Australia's version of working cowhorse. The only place I have seen Camp Draft as 2 words is the sweatband of my Imperial grade Akubras. -

New made to order jacket verse vintage or pre worn jacket
My jackets are like my hats = a mixture of newly made, slightly used & vintage. I'm an off the rack size it seems. I'd have more vintage if I could find them in the right size. Think I'm covered with newly made ones.- gtdean48

NEW HAT Sizing Question
I use stretchers & band blocks with all my hats, even the customs. Sweat on the sweatband will make them draw some as the evaporation takes oils out of the leather. I have a couple of Hat Jacks as well as vintage hat stretchers. Stretching a tad is fine, going up a size can distort the brim but... -
New Guy Needs Advice
Your beard elongates your face, so more crown is needed to have symmetry above the eyes with what is below. For me, brim width is based on your frame, like shoulder width. You can go with the smaller brims but I think the 2 3/8 is your size. You'll find as your hat wearing increases, your brim... -

Do you buy a straw hat every year?
I usually go thru a Bandera straw western every other year. Some get knocked off by a low limb & don't survive the trip under the bush hog mower.... -
Cattlemans crease
I tweak all my hats especially factory creased cattleman hats. They look too sterile in that pressed-in state. Mostly, I tighten the front pinch a bit & maybe raise the back some, more like the arena crease. I have westerns in Montana slope (aka Gus), tycoon, cutter, arena, & adjusted... -
Zip it
I like the size of the zipper on my Vanson Enfield. The zippers on my Aero & AL are serviceable but could be larger IMHO.- gtdean48

Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Wearing them you won't know the difference because they'll both fit like they were made for the shape of your head because they are. Feel, hand & finish of the beaver will be better but the rabbit will be very nice. Only better way for you to understand is to hold both in your hands. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Century is pure beaver. Gives Art a better start to an incredible finish. Suede is a different finish technique, a little more nap than standard. Art can do wonders even with bunny fur. -

I've REALLY been enjoying the tartan lining that Carrie put in my Aero 50's halfbelt this winter so far. Jacket fits better & is less scratchy than the original alpaca. Seems to be just as warm too....- gtdean48

Ask a question, get an answer
I have had a Pinnacle in Caribou & do have a HatCo modern Stetson Stratoliner in Caribou. It is a good, mid-gray color to me, very versatile.
