    Akubra Campdraft

    I think it fits you right down to the ground. Good balance, nice swoop to that brim. Nice work on the crease. Welcome to the Campdraft Confederacy!

    Dating Your Hat (A Place to Discuss the Age of Your Vintage Hat)

    From looks of it, I'd have it replaced & keep the original for historical sake. It looks too far gone. Lexol conditioner wipes is what I use to keep those I have in good shape =...

    What' the Scoop on (Filson's) Wool Vests?

    I got this Schaeffer Garrison for Christmas. It is an XL. I am closer to 42-44 but their Large in other vests at touch too snug. I like also to wear a hoodie or fleece under the vest. How do you think a Large Filson western vest will do for 42-44 Sam?

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    As others have stated, they are the featherweights, way lighter than dress weight felt hat bodies. Winchester does special runs where they don't use as much beaver fur weighed out when they blow it onto the cone. This makes for a very lightweight body that is a challenge to work with as the...

    Tom, you slide bottom slot over the brim. Top lever drops a razor blade down into the brim felt. As you slide it along the edge of the brim the blade cuts a set distance into the brim.
