Here's a couple of shots of my Mid-Brown CD on my noggin for folks. The color shown is VERY close to the shade of this color for those wondering about it.

[monbla256]

Thanks Phil. It's getting lots of wear

 

[Cicero]

monbla256, you two were made for each other. Looks nice in your avatar as well.

The Campdraft looks just great on you. Really like the color. In fact, this hat looks as good on you as any I've seen.

Thanks. It's the same shade of brown as my Stylemaster so it will get worn with tweed jackets and such as I do my Stylemaster. Getting used to the smaller brim still

I'm sure it's been mentioned more than once in this thread, but it's a looooooooong thread.

Where's the good place to get the Camp Draft in Bluegrass?

Matt, I got mine from Everything Australian.

Regardless of how LOOOOOOOOOng it is it's got LOTs of info about this style The factory only now lists this style in 3 colors and Bluegrass Green is NOT one of them. You will have to check with the OZ retailers individually as to who has it left in stock in this color and what sizes they have. Since this is an OZ only style, it's always best to check with the folks in OZ. BTW, if you find it in OZ I would strongly suggest you GET it where you can find it as it is no longer made in that color

Everything Australian is the only known source of the BG Campdraft; it is exclusive to them (as the FED is to Hats Direct) and they seem to have factory runs a few times per year. Best to email Sam re. your specific size. When I ordered mine I had the "dreaded" three month wait but it only turned out to be 6 weeks.

EA usually has the best prices for Akubras as well:

Thanks, I guess that's all I need to know then!

All the hats I currently wear are vintage, I'd like a new hat, but most don't have enough crown for me. the Fed looks cool, but it's pretty similar to some of the vintage hats I already own. I like the looks of OR style hats, but I don't really want one in a light color like silverbelly or tan. I guess black or brown could be OK, but that Bluegrass green seems just about perfect to me. :thumb:
