    Thanks & it is for a modern factory made hat, nice, wider sweat & high grade ribbons... BTW, Moonstone Campdrafts are only available in the Heritage grade from Hats Direct. Akubra would not make an Imperial grade Moonstone to protect Hats Direct's exclusivity....

    What is it about the Campdraft?

    My pleasure & just FYI, the Heritage Silverbelly is considerably different than the Imperial Silverbelly. Heritage is more grey where Imperial is more tan... If I was forced to only own 1 Campdraft, it would be the Heritage Moonstone definitely....

    Study Finds Owning Cool Leather Jacket More Rewarding Than Raising Children

    I've raised a son to 23 years of age currently but by the time I could afford good quality leathers, I realized he's probably not going to be able to wear what I leave behind some day. Hopefully, he'll sell them for a decent price...

    Restoration of a lost Stetson film

    The felting operation at Winchester is fairly about the same. All of the machinery are over a 100 years old. They keep extras for parts. Not a lot has changed or modernized.
