Akubra Campdraft

[Chuck Bobuck]

Here ya go. I took a quick pic next to my moonstone Fed Dlx IV. The couch they're sitting on is light gray also. The Campdraft definitely has more blue in it, but that's good with me. I like it, and it's a Campdraft. Did I say that before?

I love the dark grey hat. Is that a Campdraft?
Somewhere, there is a USPS vehicle with one of those in a box with my name on it. Maybe today. It really looks sweet!

Yes, sir, it is! Looks like they're starting to show up. I thought I'd be the last to get mine, but this was my lucky day.

Bob you got that thing creased yet?!

Well, my mid-brown Campdraft came yesterday and I love it. I think I have it pretty much like I want it. I styled it last night and wore it a little while this afternoon. Here are a couple of pics. Think I did ok?

I think you did great! Excellent creasing job on your part and the resulting hat looks like it was made for you.

Looks fine to me, Naltak, and it looks good on your noggin. You wear it well.

Ahhhh, no. I haven't decided if I want a knockout diamond like Kiltie's

or a knockout teardrop like Jimmy's.

I'm afraid if I do the diamond, the Chief will send the Crease Police to take me in.

Mine came today!

Ordered Nov. 22. I got an email saying it was shipped from Australia Feb. 22. Finally got here today. It's a good hat week because Tuesday I received my Akubra Capricorn.

OK? Well if what you are looking for is a classic crease to match a Classic face then I'd say, "Hell yah!"

That front crease looks just like my Tauny Campdraft but yours has just a pinch more taper on the sides. It fits you well. I pushed mine out to a pseudo diamond to get the reverse taper effect, what IndyCop calls "the mushroom effect. "

The Campdraft Rocks!

Keep 'em com'n boys!

... Finally got here today. ...

Walk'n tall there, tracyam

Oreana Bob

Ahhhh, no. :...

How about an Oreana, Bob? Teach those Crease Police a lesson. I'll be here to cheer you on all the way, baby!

Oreana Bob...Oreana Bob...Oreana Bob...

Man it just has a ring to it.

 

[indycop]

Has anyone done a simple centerdent no side crease on a campdraft?

Indycop -- put out an APB on BobC. Intent to commit a felony crease.

gtd -- mount up and get on BobC's trail. There's still time to avert a disaster...

If he even tries an Oreanna, shoot first -- ask questions later.

Good idea. That would leave room for extra ammo...

Everything's alright, Bob. Yer just gett'in surrounded by the Crease Police. Just keep concentrating on that Orean(n?)a. I'll try and distract 'em with a Squatter thread and pics once the sun gets high enough tomorrow.

Whew, if I lay low til September I can jump a ship and get to Nassau.

An oreanna? I never met a teardrop I didn't like, but an oreanna?

TA, what do you think of the Capricorn. I received one too this week. I'm not too crazy about it. It doesn't look like straw at all. I thought it would have somewhat the texture of straw, but it looks and feels very plastic.

I've only had it on for about 3 minutes since I got it. I like it so far. I'm a fan of the faux straw looking hats. I don't know what that material called. I have a Resistol made out of similar stuff, only it seems a lot softer. The Capricorn seems really stiff to me, very much like plastic. I was wondering if it could be reshaped like straw. I'm guessing not. That is the only downside I can see to it. My opinion may change once I get to wearing it this spring. I LOVE the color of it though.

I like the color too, and I will wear it. I ordered a Country Club too which is made out of the same material. I e-mailed EA today and asked if I could cancel that one. I don't think I need two hats made out of that.
