Does the Campdown have chin strap hooks?
No.
Does the Campdown have chin strap hooks?
Now that's my idea of a Western hat -- a moderate brim and a pinch a la Roy Rogers!I'm sure I will. It will be my 9th Akubra and I've worn 'em for 30+ years now And you bet I'll loose the curled brim!! I'm not a big fan of teardrop creases or 1950's style curl brims
Do you mean the Campdraft? No it doesn't as it's an OZ model only, not imported in the US.Does the Campdown have chin strap hooks?
Is the Pastoralist similar in style to a Campdraft? It also has a bound edge and the same size brim
Thanks. I tried to get the same results as my Stetson 25 and got lucky as I am a novice at this. The center dent does not touch my head. The Campdraft is easy to bash and I love it already, I can see another color in my future. RBH is the master!JTopenroad,
Love that bash. I have the same hat. Does the dent sit down on your head? I have a teardrop as the center dent always hit the top of my head otherwise.
Thanks,

Well I got my Mid-Brown CD in this mornings mail...
I picked up one of the the Campdraft Deluxe Heritage felts a few months ago (made a porkpie of it), and it sure is stiff compared to my Imperial Campdrafts, although they have softened up over time so I expect the Deluxe will also soften up a bit eventually. One thing that concerns me is that the brim is not flanged to very much of an angle or curve, so when I snap it it doesn't really snap that far down. The brim is more flat than my other Campdrafts. I'm afraid that with a little stretching over time, the brim will not hold the snap at all and I'll have to fiddle with it constantly as with a Panama. I wonder if this is the outcome of using a denser felt but not adjusting the brim flange or flanging time to compensate?
