    Interesting reads, IC and Dr. S.

    Akubra Campdraft

    In this case and similar ones (such as me) I think weakness should be considered a virtue. :D I'm so tempted to pull the trigger on a moonstone Fed! You guys are killing me, ordering all these hats! :eek:

    Nice, Dee. I kind of like the thin ribbon. I'm liking thin ribbons more and more. I like the looks of your Cattleman too, Dr S Lots of nice looking Akubras, gentlemen and lady.

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    I'm so glad to know I have company in my "misery". Sounds like you may want to add your UPS person to YOUR Christmas list. And don't forget your mail carrier. :D

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    This one's an interesting hat. Looks nice and I like the color. I hadn't heard of Strand Hatters before either. Is it imperial quality or heritage quallity felt? I just checked Hatsdirect and the Fed Deluxe IV is at $110 and change this morning.

    Akubra Campdraft

    I think tawny fawn is more like my heritage fawn colored Fed. The taupe fawn looks lighter to me, like more of a beige.

    I like that bash, Kao. Most Feds you see have a center dent.

    Removing the wire from an Akubra sweatband

    My Campdraft is shaping pretty well to my long oval head by now. When it was new I thought about putting on a jack for a day or two but wearing it has done the trick anyway. I bought my Fed a size too big, so I snug it up with the foam Hatsdirect sends along. Anyone ever bought any like that...

    I can't see any green in the hat. I can sort of see a little bit of green in the picture I posted, but it's the light I'm sure. The hat is what I'd call a mid brown, I guess.

    Removing the wire from an Akubra sweatband

    I've read that here before too, Johnny, and I'm looking at my Campdraft now and can't see anything that looks like a wire for the life of me.

    Akubra Overload

    Here are my Akubras to add to this thread. The first is my newest, a silverbelly Campdraft. My second is a Federation Deluxe IV in heritage fawn. I also had a moonstone Stylemaster which I sold to a lounge member. Perhaps he would like to post his Akubra here too. The...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Yes and yes. I bought another one too from a lounge member because I'm weak. You know what I mean, don't you? This one's a 60's Resistol (another thin ribbon, Russ)

    :eusa_doh: :eusa_doh: lol lol lol Thanks, Bart, I appreciate all the help. I'm off Friday....maybe I'll get lucky. I can't wait to see it either. Art said something about e-mailing me pictures of the hat with two or three different ribbons, but then we decided that he was handling it so I...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Sounds good to me. I haven't seen hide nor hair of what it's going to look like. I just know that I'm getting a granite Sportaire. Art suggested I let him run with this first one and that's what I did. I'm about to bust. Pictures Saturday, SP, if it's here. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

    Akubra Campdraft

    I've been wanting to get a moonstone Fed Deluxe IV, but, man, I am neck deep in hat orders now that I'm gonna have to pay for sooner or later. I'm really tempted...i hate to pass up a deal like that, but my wife is going to start having cows pretty soon.

    What's a good beginner fedora?

    It's easy to crease a hat, Sean, especially a Federation. The hat lends itself very well to a center dent, and if you bash it and don't like it just push it back to an open crown and start again.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    I got a PayPal request from Art today and a notice from USPS that mine is in the mail. Art wrote that he hopes I like it. I know I will. How long do you think it'll take to get here from Oregon?
