Thinking real hard about the plastectomy Indy.

Great advice. Not much rain in southern California, but when it does rain next, I'll have my CD on my head.gtdean48 said:It was a nice steady rain north of Atlanta last evening & I had to talk to a guy about clearing some brush on the ranch, so I put on my Silver Belly CD. It got good & soaked. Later about 1145pm, I had 3 horses come in from Texas & it was still coming down but lighter than before. The damp CD went back on & got some more H20. Now this morning, it was still a might misty so I grab the same hat. This hat feels so much better after the good watering & drying out. I firmly believe all CD need a good rain soaking to reach their true felt state. My other 2 will be coming out for their turns in the rain. All this & it kept my head dry too!

Doublegun, I agree with the gents here, that CD looks great on you. I started going for a diamond bash on my Silverbelly but ended up with a teardrop of sorts:
I found the CD very easy to bash...when I didn't like my initial results, I opened up the crown and tried again. Great hat, easily my favorite.
For the tugboat, raise the front crown and lower the rear, with a rise in the peak slightly higher than the front crown. So, mine is 4 3/8" at the front, 4 5/8" at the peak, and 3 3/4" at the back.
If you play with your crown, you'll find that you can deepen the crease and lower the crown, if that's your goal.
Good luck,
Steve

Chuck Bobuck said:It's Glen Grey. It looks a little lighter than it really is in the photo above. I hope you didn't think the Moonstone was out yet!
Ordinary Guy said:My answer from hats direct:
"thanks for your enquiry.
Ron is thinking of adding Moonstone to the Campdraft colours so I'll file your enquiry and as soon as we have more news we can let you know."
Never did get an answer form hats4u on the Sky Grey color.
