Akubra Campdraft

[Spats McGee]

That may often be true, but the email that I got said that they were out of stock and that the whole next shipment, due in a few weeks, was all spoken for. After that, they don't expect a shipment until January. I was willing to pay a little extra at Hats Direct because I expected them to have Campdrafts available for (almost) immediate delivery. I might as well use the 3 months to see if the Australian Dollar drops again.

Here's mine.

The fawn is sort of a light camel/tan color. I would definitely not classify it as "brown". It DOES have a much richer color than my photo shows, though. I ditched the silly little wind trolley pretty quickly.

Looks good! Great diamond too!:eusa_clap I would probably cut off the wind trolley on mine since I will never use them but I know AlanC is a Wind trolley fan and might suspend me! lol lol

My wind trolly just was kind of cheesy. Didn't look like it would work well, and wouldn't loop up tight around the crown. If it was done a little more neatly, I MIGHT have left it on.

I left the wind trolley on my silverbelly campdraft. Now I have a taupe fawn ordered from Everything Australian. We'll see what happens to that one.

I didn't have any trouble tightening my wind trolly. I think it looks kind of neat, even if I don't use it.

Hooray, it has arrived!

I've just got time to post a few pics before I go pick up my little boy at school. My new silverbelly Campdraft:

A quick dry-bash:

It's a beautiful hat!

Very nice! I have a silver belly campdraft on order from Everything Australian = nice price. Was thinking of getting one in mid-brown after I get this one in.
I've seen posting of photos of tawny, anybody got one in mid-brown? gtd

toobacat posted pics of a mid-brown Campdraft a while back. Gorgeous hat! You might check the Akubra Overload thread.

It's just too bad this hat can't be gotten in more colors. It really is an incredible value. It's as close as you can come in modern times to buying a golden era type hat without going custom.

Thanks Spats - I attempted to a search of that thread with no luck. If a more expert Lounger could point me, I'd be appreciative...gtd

I totally agree! Hate that they reduced the colors just as I found the hat = would love a gray one but silver belly does seem to go with most of my wardrobe...gtd
