Welcome to the Lounge Bond;
Glad to see you've found this place, it is a great place to learn and to share your experiences and your hats, welcome! You've gotten some great advise already. I would suggest Hatsdirect.com to you as a place to purchase an Akubra fur felt hat. Deb, Jenny, or Ron...
:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Great looking Campdraft James. I've got the Taupe Fawn, now thanks to you, I've got to get the Silver Belly! Let us see how it looks on you!
God Bless,

Hey Chips;
I too own both Tilley and Akubra, 3 Tilley's and 4 Akubras. Like Neophyte said, the Tilley is practically indestructible. My Tilley T3 went through a boat motor prop running wide open on a lake in Alabama a few years back on a fishing trip, and the only thing that happened to it was...
Good looking hat James. I considered the Coober Pedy before I settled on the Cattleman. Since you own both, tell me the differences in them if you would please sir. Just wondering since I had considered it. Yours looks good and looks good on you.
Thanks,
Preacher Man
I pulled the trigger and ordered my Cattleman yesterday from Hatsdirect. My Campdraft is a 62, my Fed IV is a 63. Both were a little big at first, the Fed IV looser that the Campdraft, but both fit great now. Jenny said she'd send me one that measured a 62.5 due to my noggin being a 7 3/4 LO. I...
Great looking hat Johnny! I appreciate your feedback. How was the fit when you first got it? Did it snug up to size soon? Does the Cattleman shed rain well? And by the way, that's a very cute little one you're holding there. Daughter? My wife and I just got a new granddaughter, little girls are...
Thanks James71
Great looking Cattleman. From your pics I see the back of the brim is turned up. On the HatsDirect website the pic shows it turned down all the way around. Did yours come with that upturn or did you do that yourself?
From what you say, it's just the hat I'm looking for...
Hello all, it's been a good while since I've posted here, but I read here everyday and appreciate all the great info and fellowship here at the Lounge. I'm a happy owner of a Campdraft and a Fed IV, both purchased from the good folks at HatsDirect. Now I'm in the mood for an Akuba Cattleman...
Hello Big Man;
Judging from the picture and from my knowledge of my own grandfather who would have been about the same age as your grandfather appears to be in those pics from 1924; I'd have to agree with J.T. on the probable color. In the pics of my grandfather from his day he was wearing...
Pelikan 800
Today I'm carrying my Pelikan 800 in green stripe with a Richard Binder .7 mm Stub Italic nib. I bought the pen from Richard, had him grind the nib, smoothest nib I'v ever used. I'm a Pelikan man!

I'm with scotrace
I'll agree with scot on this; crease or block are much more accurate words. Who would want to take their new hat and "bash" it to make it look good? lol I'll also be like RBH and try to "unlearn" the word when referring to blocking my hat. Good points.

Got mine today
I recieved my Camp Draft from Ron at HatsDirect today. It was ordered on January 6. He had told me I should have it by 2 weeks from order date - he missed it by one day. It wasn't a special order, in stock Taupe Fawn. It was my first order from them and I'll have to say they were...

What about Scotch Guard?
I did a search and couldn't find anything on the subject; if I'm repeating, I'm sorry - please forgive. Here's my question: have any of you treated your hat with Scotch Guard to repel water? Would it have a negative effect on the felt? If you have used it, what were the...
Hey RBH
Lots of good looking thin ribbons here. What is the hat you're wearing in your avatar? I've got a Tawny Fawn Campdraft on order from Hatsdirect, I was wondering if the hat you're wearing is your Campdraft. Whatever it is, it looks great on your noggin.

Caparzo,
That's one handsome hat! Your bashing job is excellent! I'm getting worried about the influence every one here in lounge is having on me! The temptation to buy is sometimes more that I can bear. :p You did an excellent job in choosing a...
