I just bought a campdraft from everything Australia. It cost like 95 dollars. Paid 30 to express ship it and it took 9 days total for it to arrive. I will post pics when I arrive home from vacationI noticed they are quite a bit cheaper from overseas. On Everything Australian the Campdraft is less than $100!
Did you get the green one? I think that is the only one in stock there. If it is the same green as my stylemaster is is awesome!I just bought a campdraft from everything Australia.

So since he hats are somewhat Affordable I have a question. What are the felts in akubras made of?beaver?hare? Blend?
If I wear a 7 3/8 LO in a Stetson hat, what size would I order for an Akubra?
+1.... they do conform to your head fairly well so your 7 3/8 would be a 59

Does the imperial felt taper after getting wet?You can't beat an Akubra for when it rains. Mine even seem to get better after being in a few rains.
Like Tom said, the Campdraft's and Fed IV's don't have any taper but the Stylemasters do.
Mine never has, and I've drenched it more than once. I think anything will taper if you use it as a rain hat, over the years, but I don't think it'll taper for a good long while.Does the imperial felt taper after getting wet?

I just want to make sure the hat does not taper at th the sight of clouds. I plan on putting this hat to some use and am look ing for longevity. Thanks for all the very insightful input on the Akubras!All fur felt will "taper" with enough exposure to water. It is trying to return to the initial cone shape of the felt body.
Some take longer & more water than others....that is why hats were & are reblocked from time to time....part of the maintenance program...
