Daniel,
I forgot to mention that I also have a brand new black Stetson Open Road in size 7 1/2. It is a new production model so the crown is very stiff. If you are ok with a cattleman's crease then they are very nice hats. I have one I wear a lot for work because it doesn't show stains. I...
Welcome Scouter,
You might want to try Miller Hats. They have chauffeur and driving caps too. Below is a link to their chauffeur hats.

Daniel,
I have a black western Resistol with a 3 1/2" brim. It is their PRCA hat (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) and comes with a black and red horse hair band. It doesn't have a bound brim though. It is new and should fit you nicely. If you are interested shoot me an email and I'll...
Daniel,
I just ordered the same hat you are trying to order yesterday morning around 9:00 am. I got an email at 10:30 am that my order had been shipped. Maybe I got the last one but Hats Plus website is still showing the black 7 1/2 in stock.
I was sort of on the fence about ordering this...
Congratulations Art! That is amazing and a true testament to the quality of your work. I don't think there is one complaint in this entire thread.
Happy New Year!
One of the ladies with Hats Direct explained to me that Akubra uses vintage hat blocks to make specific models. She said the hat blocks used to make the Fed IV run a little small and the hat blocks for the Campdrafts run a little big. Maybe they were using a different block for the Fed in 2008...
I have a standard Blue Grass Green Campdraft and the color is beautiful. It gets a lot of compliments when I wear it. I am looking forward to seeing what this hat will look like with a shorter brim width.
I wonder if maybe we could get enough people together to do this for a standard brim...
Brian,
Hats Direct told me one time the Campdrafts run a little large and the Fed IV a little small. I'm usually a small 7 1/2 and they recommended a 59 in the Campdraft and a 60 in the Fed IV. That is what I ordered and they both fit well. They will actually measure them and find a smaller...
I agree. A Campdraft is definitely not a small brim and looks great on IndyCop in the picture that Rusty posted.
By the way, that is a cool shirt he is wearing. It took me awhile to figure out what it was then it hit me. It is a Flying Tiger shirt with the Hells Angel Squadron insignia on it...
Rabbit, thanks for taking the time to put together the collages. They are a great reference and will definitely be saved on my computer.
Perry and Eric, great hats! The sage felt looks great in a Stratoliner configuration.
That turned out great. I've got so many Campdrafts I might play around with the ribbon on one. That thought never crossed my mind until I saw your hat.
