    Western, anyone?

    Sounds like a store brand & looks good with the new crease. Nice work TJ. I've re-creased & trimmed some vintage Resistols to give a more "outback" look to them. The western weight makes for a good foul-weather lid for sure. I have plenty of wide-brimmed/cattleman creased westerns.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Like the Federation, the Heritage grade Campdraft Deluxe is an exclusive of Hats Direct. They did the Fedora Lounge special run of the Silverbelly CD Deluxe & then offered the Moonstone option. We tried initially for Moonstone but could only get Silverbelly done. I guess they saw the response...

    Akubra Campdraft

    I wouldn't wear a black cherry anymore than I would a black one. I'm more interested in a color that would get serious noggin time to spell my Bluegrass Green 2 5/8, like a Taupe Fawn. JMHO...

    Leather jacket suggestions

    US Wings has a few models at $195 = http://www.uswings.com/195.asp Their Indy jacket has the pockets but doesn't have the knit cuffs & waistband. JCPenney has that St John's Bay Bomber on clearance for $80. Why not buy another = 1 for work & 1 for play?
