Back to my Crown height question. How does mine look?

Jeff

That right there? That looks fantastic :eusa_clap. I actually wish my crown was that high. Like Dan said, copasetic!

Still waiting for EA to get my return. Its been 13 days now... ugh. I see the larger sizes are selling out again. I hope they hang on to a 59 for me!

Hat looks great Jed!

Jeff, looks great, don't change anything.

Well, put on a jacket anyway. It's cold out there.

GREAT look! I'm digging that hat!

I have a question on the Akubra Campdraft - What quality levels of felt does it come in?

I have one that is in Imperial Quality and was wondering if they were made in any of the other levels of quality.

John, only version offered is Imperial. We have discussed here trying to get a run of Moonstone color & possibly lobbying for a Heritage version but we couldn't get Hats Direct to do the Moonstone run. We may need to try again since we have greater numbers....

Damn straight we do! The sheer number of new bluegrass owners alone since December could probably give us all the support we need. A heritage-level CD might re-instill my Campdraft-lust.

I too would like to see a run of the moonstone in the CD and also the heritage felt

Campdraft DeLuxe???

Okay, if we are to start a campaign for a Heritage level Campdraft, what color? Do we go for an existing color they offer to increase odds or go for a true one-off request with a color not currently available?
My preference would be a Moonstone Heritage Campdraft...

The last time, we just started sending emails to Hats Direct.

You can count me in on a Heritage Campdraft. I would love it in Regency Fawn (grayish, brownish olive) - I have an Angler in this color but it's such a casual outdoors hat with vent holes and a chinstrap that I don't wear it except when working in the yard.
Moonstone works for me, too, though.

I have yet to obtain a light grey hat (well, if Bone counts that's not true, but still). I wouldn't prefer Moonstone over Glen Grey (I would rather have Black, Navy, Mid-Brown) due to my complexion.

However, you can chalk me up for one in Moonstone if it'll help get this movement off the ground.

I don't know Everything Australian has been getting us the Bluegrass Green CD's and they are cheaper and have cheaper shipping then Hat's Direct. Maybe EA could get the biz.

In the past Hats Direct came through with the Glen Grey run, so that is why we targeted them for the Moonstone run that never took off.
My personal experiences have been better with Hats Direct from a customer service standpoint. I bought a couple of CD's from EA because of their cheaper shipping costs but they really dropped the ball on my Mid-Brown one. The other advantage to Hats Direct, is that they set a precedent with having the proprietary Federation IV offering.
In the end, I'm up for anybody that can get it done!

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

The moonstone grey would be nice hat for sure.
Would love to have one. I have too many brown hats now.

 

[Crazy Legs]

Deluxe Moonstone? I'm in. I am enjoying my Silverbelly CD. It goes with most everything I wear to work and fits like a glove. I think a deluxe Camp Draft would be on everyones' list if they could get it.

I live ten mins walk from hats direct and know the proprietress well. If you need an in person intermediary I'm your man.

Thanks James. How popular is the Campdraft there in Australia? I am sure local sales potential would be a factor in any dealer doing this specialty run in addition to mail order demand.

With James on the team to charm the Hats Direct lady, I'm in!
