Everything Australian is usually quite a bit cheaper too than Hatsdirect but normally you have to wait 3 months unless they have the hat in stock. Hatsdirect keeps most all their hats in stock.
I think you are going to really like the CD. The Bluegrass Green is a great color too.
jskeen, I believe that Stetson looks like it would have been before the diamond liner.
Robert, nice looking Stetson. Definitely a keeper in my opinion.
I received the hat yesterday and it is very nice. It has a tall (6") straight sided crown, 2.5" bound brim and a 1 3/4" ribbon. The felt is very nice and reminds me of Akubra's Heritage grade felt. It can easily be dry bashed. The hat also has a soft and wide (2") leather sweatband. I'm very...
Rusty,
Thanks for the info. I purchased the hat but haven't received it yet. When I do I will post some more info on it. It looked like a very nice hat. I just hope the felt is a nice as the Powell felt looked in the video.

PS: I should have mentioned that...
Robert,
The new Campdraft looks great! Now that you have both grades, what is your opinion of the Heritage?
PS: The dry bash of the Centerfire crease looks pretty cool. I like the final crease best though. Good job!
nimichave,
Welcome to the lounge. The hat Downey is wearing looks like a Milan straw with a pugaree as Sam stated. I have no idea about the brand but the crown looks like it might have been in a teardrop crease at one time and somebody tried to make it into a porkpie.
