    Akubra Campdraft

    My new Camp Draft in black arrived recently. To be honest, I am not all that impressed. It is a very stiff hat - more like a bowler or a Stetson cowboy hat than the Akubra Camp Drafts that we had come to admire and expect in the past. Was hard to work and the brim was a bit smaller than the...

    Akubra Overload

    Are the sizes of military Akubras about the same as those of the CampDrafts? TIA, Fed

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I am looking at ordering an Akubra military slouch but would like to know how the sizes compare to their CampDraft. I wear a 58 in the CampDraft and that is perfect for me. Order the same in the military slouch?

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Akubra CampDraft in black. (So what abbreviation are we using for these? BKCD?) I once said that if these were made, I would get one. Now the wait begins! Might need to call and beg Sam. Everything Australian.

    STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH

    I have an old BGCD which I use while doing bird photography. It has accumulated some stains from over ripe elderberries. I was wondering if a naphtha bath would clean those stains. It needs regular cleaning anyway, but I might need to do something about the berry stains first. Thoughts...

    Experimenting With Belt Making.

    Okay, I am late to the game, but wanted to give a few comments. I carried a sidearm daily and needed a good sturdy belt that would hold up to decades of abuse. These were very expensive, so I started making my own and learned a few lessons. Multiple layers never seemed to work well, so I...

    Heavyweight Denim Shirts

    Oddly enough, I found a medium weight denim shirt at Tractor Supply - made by Schmidt. Might not be quite as thick a you want but the price was great and the shirt is thicker than the others which are readily available. Beat the one by Dickies easily. Fed

    How a MC jacket should fit? any Suggestions?

    The first thing to begin with is whether you are a serious rider or you want to wear this type of jacket for non-riding situations. I have to tell you that I ride year round and longer sleeves help keep the cold wind from getting to my arms. My main riding jacket falls to the crease where my...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Maybe someone should write to Akubra and ask them. Fed

    South Africaner Fedora

    I would think that a SilverBelly CampDraft with the edge binding removed would be very close. The brim would be wide enough and the crown should make the desired shape. The only issue would be ironing or flanging the desired shape to the crown which is slightly flanged. Fed

    The pug also came from Akubra? I have a hat which needs one. TIA, Fed

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Be aware that there are two different types of Akubra hat under the name "Adventurer" One is similar to the Fed IV and the other is more like a "Coober Pedy." It is not a happy thing to expect one and receive the other... Fed

    Felt Hats and Humid Weather

    I wear felt almost year round in southeast Louisiana. It gets a bit warm at times, but I generally like those hats. However, if I am working in the yard, I will shift to a straw or Tilley. Fed

    What color was your first Akubra?

    BlueGrass Green CampDraft. It is still my favorite - was actually on my head as I read this thread. Fed

    Akubra Campdraft

    They sent me a poorly manufactured hat in the past. It was not properly pounced by Akubra so that an elliptical shadow line was visible all around the hat band. This was sent to me without any examination before being shipped internationally. In fairness, I was offered the option of paying the...
