Akubra Campdraft

[Blackthorn]

I googled Campdraft in an attempt to find an American supplier and save the shipping costs, to no avail. However, I ran across this company in Australia who offers a much wider choice of colors than I realized existed. Do any of you have the medium brown?

Here are a few shots of my mid brown Campdraft taken when I got it and creased it.

Thanks, RBH! So I guess they've been available for a while and I'm only just now realizing it?

I recieved mine in March 09.

I don't believe I've seen a Sky Grey Akubra, anyone else heard of that color? I wonder how close to Moonstone it is? Excuse me, I have to go wipe a little drool off my chin.

You probably already know this, but check Hats Direct and Everything Australian. EA has a cool bluegrass color mentioned a few pages back.

Thanks, Jabos.

I have a mid brown, and there are a few others here as well. I wonder if you contact them would they tell you that some of those colors are no longer available and they haven't updated their site?

I don't own one yet, but I must say, the possibility of a light grey Campdraft has left me curious as to what one looks like as well. Maybe I'll check that out if they still offer it two months later, if I'm not going silverbelly (I don't know, maybe sky grey is closer to the Stetson look of the color).

I was under the impression that Sky Grey was discontinued a LONG time ago. As in, they were talking about it being discontinued near the beginning of the Akubra Overload thread. So...if you get one...you'll be wearing a piece of Akubra history lol!

 

[The Good]

What a shame then, a moonstone-esque color would be great for that style. The fact of the matter is, I think I actually like Stetson's and Resistol's version of the silverbelly color better than Akubra's, although it's still a nice choice, just not what is traditionally associated with silverbelly in the United States.

There is no question.

And yet, there it is.

And yet, there it is.

Or, there it ain't and like Bob C. suggested, the website may not be updated with what's currently available. There's been buzz about a light grey Campdraft for a long time. If there was a light grey CD available, I'm sure one of us would know. Actually, I'd probably be wearing one right now.

I predict someday, a sky grey or moonstone CD will be available. Or should be.

Among all other things, the Akubra is a hat of Mystery !

Perfect for Men of Mystery.

Yessir, there it ain't , apparently.

Marion of The Hat Store advises that this color is thought not to be available, but will check anyway.

High marks for a quick response. Maybe they'll get enough demand for a special run.

 

[Neophyte]

Indeed, I got a response from Marion as well, who says that she might have someone she can contact at Akubra to get some Campdrafts in black. Apparently a LOT of us have been contacting her recently lol.

She also told me that all Campdraft colors available currently are on indent, meaning essentially the three month wait you'll find at EverythingAustralian [huh].

Arrangements would have to be made if the CD were to become available in black or sky grey, wait or not.
