My Fed IV molded to my head as well; it just warped the brim slightly in the process. Realistically, it's not as big a deal as I may have made it out to be--if I get one, I'm hoping it will eventually develop the patina of a well-used "beater" hat, so a warped brim would only add to it's character. I had considered the Tawny/Taupe Fawn color, but it's most definitely a brown hat and, since I already have a dark brown Fed IV, I decided I wanted something other than "another" brown hat and I think the very light color of the Silverbelly will fill that bill nicely.
I looked at Australian Gear's website; their current prices aren't much less than Hats Direct's (even after you figure in the free shipping) and, more importantly, they don't currently offer the Campdraft in my size. I had considered the Bushman and the Squatter, both of which are very similar to the Campdraft, but after reading this thread and seeing the Bluegrass Green and Silverbelly CDs my mind was made up. I hadn't even considered a green hat, but after seeing the photos in this thread I really wish the BGG was still available. Then again, if it was still available that would only have made my decision (about which color to get) more difficult, so maybe that's a good thing.
Still, it's interesting to me that the colors of both the felt and the ribbon and brim binding look so different depending on the lighting conditions. As for the white suit...yeah, no worries there; I can't imagine any situation in which I'd find myself wearing one. If I was really that concerned about it I wouldn't buy a hat that was so light in color. I won't be using it as a shop rag, but I'm not planning to baby it too much either. As I wrote above, I'd like it to eventually take on the patina of a well-used "beater" hat--neither filthy nor pristine--so a little dirt here and there won't bother me too much. That reminds me, I really need to get a hat brush. The windcord will probably be removed almost immediately because, for me, the annoyance of having to constantly maintain it's "stored" position around the crown will far outweigh it's usefulness. We do occasionally get some high winds in this part of southern California, but the vast majority of the time we get mild breezes that aren't much more violent than an oscillating fan set on low or medium.
