I didn't do it. I just pinned a wider ribbon on for demonstration purposes. Honest!

Now why did you have to go and call the Police, Mr. Blaine? :eusa_doh:
That's not so bad, Mr. Carter, gett'n away with just a finger wag. At least you didn't actually put the lid on and see what it looked like in the mirror - I mean you wouldn't commit such an act - would you?.... nahhh....

Just tell the Director that it was a moment of temporary insanity.

Cool...you're selling me on this idea! But I haven't gotten the darn thing in yet (it won't be in stock until late April), so I may be jumping the gun. Wore my thin ribbon gray Adam today and loved it; I may stick with the thin ribbon CD. But I do like the idea of a fedora as light as the Silverbelly with a darker ribbon...carldelo said:

Whoa, look what I started. Sorry, Carter!!gtdean48 said:Sacrilege! I'm telling Rusty & boy are you going to get it....
But thanks for the visual above. As I said, I'll just sit tight and wait for the Campdraft to arrive. By then, I may have the wide ribbon madness out o' my system.

Asking for double trouble
heck! why now buy Fed IV and Campdraft and swap those ribbons. Open road FED and other could be Dressdraft

The OR came out in 1937 with the typical wide ribbon of that era - ie, not a "classic" OR at all.
Then again, many things were different then. Much of what we today consider classic masculine style and iconography originated in, or was redefined after, WW2. Society's classic man is the postwar man. That's who wears the thin ribbon.

Wow! I think I've seen that style on TCM. I just never realized that it could have been an Open Road.
We need pics of these babies!

I'm giving up...
I ordered a Taupe Fawn Campdraft from HatsDirect several weeks ago and I've been keeping it to myself, but I can't hold it in any more! :eusa_doh: They said it would be in stock in 10 days and they would e-mail me when they have it/ship it out... and that was on March 15th. Hopefully they will have it soon.
Anyway, I have a question about the felt. Is it similar to the "Imperial Quality" of the Fed standard or the "Heritage Quality" of the deluxe, or neither? I was just wondering about the weight of the felt since summer is around the corner. I'm also curious about the sweatband as well, if it's the same as the Fed standard one or if it's the same as the deluxe one. Thanks!
edit: I found out about the felt quality: imperial quality. I'm still wondering about the sweat though, although I have a feeling it's the same as the Fed. Standard's.

JP, I have 3 other Imperial quality Akubras & the Campdraft is comparable to 2 of them, my Dallas (Snowy River with a different crease) & my Kiandra. My older Riverina has been thru so many hunting trips, it is not fair to compare. Sweatband is same as my Kiandra HTH

Ordered my Campdraft in Taupe Fawn last Wednesday, from Everything Australian and they luckily had it in my size. It arrived yesterday (well I wasn't in so I had to pick up from the post office this morning) and wore it today.
This is my first Akubra and I have to say I am very impressed, felt feels great and I was able to dry bash and wear within seconds. I might now order one in a grey, but might wait to see what the Bluegrass Green looks like first.
