First time buying fedora and introducing myself
...crown - but once bashed, it's really hard to see much difference. Both great options. The only thing to be aware of is that the Campdraft isn't a snap brim. As standard, it comes with the brim up the whole way round. I steamed mine down in front so while it doesn't snap, it has the look of... -
First time buying fedora and introducing myself
...pictures really helps to understand a lot better hat anatomy then just words on forum. I think you got me sold with that, before I wasn't sure which one should between Fed IV and Campdraft, but now I'm pretty sure I will take the latter. Thanks once again, you and all participants in this topic. -

...Black Rock". Robert Ryan stood 6'4 and the profile of this thin ribbon suits his overall features well. The crown height was more than likely 5 1/2 inches with a brim width, (I'm guessing), at 2 5/8 inches. The Campdraft is very similar but with a wider brim, as Fruno pointed out, at 2 7/8... -

Thank you T Jones for your recommendation, you are right, from Akubra I am looking between Fed IV and Campdraft, but I will see if I decide to go for either of these two. -

First time buying fedora and introducing myself
I second this idea. The Campdraft or the Fed IV are great 'starter' hats. Decent quality, great price, hard wearing. I would start there and wear it to get comfortable with the look. Then once you have the experience you can consider a custom hat as you will have a better idea of what...- belfastboy

First time buying fedora and introducing myself
From your description and your casual dress style I believe a thin ribbon like a Campdraft from Akubra would suit you well. Thin ribbons are pretty versatile and go well with either casual or dress wear. It has dimensions somewhat close to what you're looking for. It's an open crown fedora that... -

Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
All great quality hats in every way. If you like the campdraft check out the "squatter" it's slightly stiffer (slightly) comes open crown and more of a two brim which is closer to the OR. Comes in dark grey, fawn brown -

Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
Thanks for the history lesson, I discovered the Akubra Campdraft last year on the Fedora Lounge and had to get one, ended up getting two. Silverbelly and Bluegrass green. It's amazing how both colors vary depending on the light. I'm a true Akubra convert, but I still own a few Stetsons, and a...- Frontporchcharlie

Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
...an open crown. When Stetson stopped the Akubra Lic to produce Stetsons in around '71 they continued making it themselves and renamed it the campdraft. Discussing the base model of both models: OR is pre creased in cattleman these days. It's got quite a bit of stiffener in it as a working... -
Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft
I have yet to see a side by side picture of a Campdraft with a cattleman's crease with a modern Open Road. Here's my two Silverbelly hats, my Campdraft and my 6x OR. My campdraft is about a year old and my OR is around 10 years old.- Frontporchcharlie

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
...combined with my Lost Worlds crosszip jacket (since we were talking about this the other day). I believe @The Shoe wears his crosszip and Campdraft to great effect and I’m glad to take a cue from him and combine mine with an Akubra. Too bad the leather won’t be coming with to Asia. I took...- The Lost Cowboy
