...Asia is tough on lids so whichever goes with has to hold up well under heat and rain, be fun to wear, and be replaceable.
This heritage fawn Fed IV does fit all those criteria. Also under consideration is the silverbelly Campdraft, the modern Premier Stratoliner, or just going with a canvas hat.
Weekly shopping in a silverbelly Campdraft.
Grilling some chicken thighs in my regular barbecue hat, the Akubra Cattleman.
I wanted a non-tomato based sauce, so went for a tweaked Carolina Gold mustard based sauce. So good! I’ll be making this sauce regularly for pork and chicken.

By the way Ill throw this out here... Theres a nice looking 59cm Campdraft in Bluegrass on ebay right now. Also a light Grey Bogart in 55cm (Id never seen a Bogart in a light color like that... only one Ive got is black)
...quickly.
A cold wind during my walkabout had me sport'n a cap. Brrrr.
Now on to fedoras! The rain started as forecast after I got home. My morning coffee is enjoyed under the brim of an Akubra Campdraft. This bluegrass fedora is a TFL special make-up with a 2.5" brim.
Cheers, Eric -
...hats". I've been seeing them around, fir felts, wool felts, straws.
I've been thinking about how to resurrect a well worn and shrunken Campdraft. Hmmm...
I think that is a great upside of buying an inexpensive hat like the Campdraft....made to be worn and abused. When you have worn it out, celebrate the journey and buy a new one.
...it's a lovely hat!
I would be open to trade for something in a size 60.
Hoping to find a Stetson or something like an Akubra Fed IV or Campdraft for my soon to be growing collection.
Otherwise, will part from it (to a Lounger) for $65 USD ($100 AUD) + shipping. I have a hat box and can...
Thanks!
Yes, it's similar to the Akubra Campdraft and with an open crown. I asked for a cattleman bash for something different and really like it (they said as soon as they did it another customer saw it and wanted one too)
This past weekend I was wearing a couple of grey hats.....
My 3X Beaver JCP Towncraft.
And my Akubra Fed IV in "Moonstone" that In got a couple of years ago. Would love a Campdraft in the same color.
I'm in the process of learning how to rehab old worn hats.
My old worn Campdraft is pretty tough. I could slap you in the face with it and make you tell me how to treat my hats better.
My second Akubra campdraft. The only hats I wanna wear these days are my akubras. Before ordering the first I was trying to decide between a CD and an OR I saw somebody on the forum say something to the effect of “get the CD, a year from now, it’s the only hat you’ll wanted to wear.” -that...
My first Campdraft was from 2016 so not too that long ago. It might have been over 5 ½” but closer to that than 6”. I had a secondhand older Campdraft that a previous owner put a wide ribbon on and it also measured right at 5 ½ inches. All my new Campdrafts after the first that were don’t...
That's interesting about the Campdraft crown heights. I have four, and all mine came 5-1/2" or a little less open crown. I'd prefer a little more height, too. But I'm a larger hat size (62 or 7-3/4) like Brent. I wonder if they have to compromise on height in bigger sizes to keep the brim big...
