[Fed in a Fedora]

I would like to see a light grey/silver/dove colour that Stetson and others do so well.

Hats Direct seems to have a lock on the MoonStone color which is in the Heritage quality. Get them to actually look at the hat before shipping it.

Good advice. I will. Already got pics to verify the shade of the current colors.

As would I, but with a 2.5" brim like the brown custom models that EA provided in the not-so-recent past.

Is that the imperial felt? Or heritage? It has soft look about it.

Looks great! (Even with that Skinny ribbon. ;-) I like the crease.

Hey Dave. Its the Imperial. I have never had or even felt a heritage, but would like to at some point. Just can't justify the extra cash. The standard Akubras do so well in harsh conditions!

Hey everyone. I have a Bluegrass Green CD on its way (just landed in customs). I was wondering if any of you wear your BGCD with a cattleman 's crease. Does this work for any of you (with this color especially)? Am I wrong in seeming to observe that the cattleman's crease is found on far fewer Campdrafts than Open Roads?

I've got 6 CD's, one in Alpine crease.
I've got 10 Stetson OR/OR-style & 3 in Alpine crease.
Your observation is accurate in my case...

Tried that with my Bluegrass Green CD abt 3 - 4 weeks ago and it didnt work for me. The sides of the crown were 2 stiff to get it looking like I wanted it to but go for it! Try dry bash first and then you'll maybe need lots of steam to finish. Just dont crease the bash sharply as you may get too many deep wrinkles in the felt. If it doesn't work out you can bring it back to open crown w some more steam and rebash if your creases aren't to tight or the wrinkles aren't to deep and it will still look good with the rebash. I opted for a telescope bash no pinches after trying the cattleman. Good luck.

Thanks gtdean48! Nice collection sounds like.

Interesting idea. I love the telescope bash. I might have to give that a try at some point.

You did see that I said "Stetson", right?
I didn't count Resistol, Marathon, Pilgrim, Knox, & Dobbs clones...

That helps me more than you can know. Now I don't feel so bad securing only my third open road styled hat.

Oh, from what I can tell, we're all certifiable.
