...Ale”. Etsuko wasn’t game.
When it turned out to be delicious, she ended up drinking half of mine.
The hat for the day was my Silverbelly Campdraft.
We also picked up a bottle of Classic Laddie (in the all new lightweight bottle), a bottle of Templeton, to explore Rye Whiskey further...
...Maybe I will post a pic after I finish my restoration tasks .... BTW: I've been looking for an old Stratoliner, but bought an Akubra Campdraft? based on info from this site ..... the custome rep at David Morgan was very responsive and price of hat was $180 + $9 shipping ..... Looks like...
Yesterday’s hats. Silverbelly Campdraft for me…
And Etsuko in her Hornskov. She rarely wears this one despite my efforts to tell her it looks good on her. She never liked the flat brim, and though we’ve given it a little shape with some steam, she’s still not comfortable under it.
Maybe...
...at The Hattery were very helpful with determining sizing, the shipping was a breeze, and the hat itself is awesome.
I decided against the Campdraft only because of the lack of colours available. I have always been drawn towards Fawn, Light Browns, Cognac, etc.
I am very pleased and have...
...I completely re-flanged the brim and re-creased the crown.
This picture is closest to the true color on my monitor. I like the color a lot. It essentially gave me a fourth color Campdraft as the dimensions are almost identical. (The R M crown seems a little taller, though I did not measure it)
Wearing my new campdraft. This is my first akubra and I’m sold. I’m normally more of a Stetson person, with the occasional vintage borsalino here and there. I was kind of apprehensive when it arrived but after giving it a good bash and steam, it pains me a little to say I like it more than my...
I like having the wind trolley, BUT, when they become a pain in the ass I snip 'em off. If everytime I flip the hat onto a shelf (or into my backseat) it comes loose, no matter how much I 'tighten' the slipknot, I CAREFULLY get rid of it. But I'm not a reseller (maybe someday... and then I'll...
I’m inexperienced with wind trolleys. Up until now, I’ve only had one hat, an Akubra Campdraft that has one. The one on my new Hornskov seems very loose. Is this necessary for actual functionality or is this odd?
Ok, so I'm still somewhat confused. Other people on the Lounge say Stetson bought the Brockville plant, so didn't need to license anything since they owned the place. In which case Stetson did indeed make these Buckaroo hats. Correct me if I'm mistaken. I knew I had gotten that impression from...
...Attempted to do a Gus crease, and was surprised by how thick and stiff this felt is, compared to my other open crown Akubras (Fed IV and Campdraft). I had assumed that the Superfine quality meant it would be softer. No complaints though; feels like it will last a very long time. Is this the...
