Akubra Overload

CD'S from Sam at EA are only $89 U.S. due to the strong dollar. So much bang for the buck.

a CD for 89 is hard to pass up

Yeah, but I'm guessing the price will go back up before they re-stock the Campdraft in Bluegrass Green in my size next month. lol

I just ordered it Sam placed the order together with an adventurer that I am waiting to get, so I even save some $$ in shipping.

I will need help creasing it !!!

There is a tutorial from here on the forums from Jimmy The Lid which is very helpful.

Sorry - my search only provided an old text version, but maybe you can find the full version...

There is also a Roy Rogers video here and on You Tube showing how he does his signature crease.

While you might not go with that crease, the lesson is helpful and the video is enjoyable. It was my favorite video when I was looking for help.

And a Penman video which is somewhat similar to how I did my latest Campdraft, but I did not use that video:

His crease is a bit too pinched for my tastes. I like a softer shape and only would use the beginning of the video as one method of laying out the initial concept. Even then JtL is hard to beat. Just depart from the tear drop into what you want as a finished crease.

But your final crease choice is too personal to intrude upon and guidance cannot be given without knowing a lot more about you; your look and your own features.

Good luck! Enjoy the process and the result!

My understanding was that this does not matter. The price is set when you make the purchase - is it not?

Yep, you pay now and they ship later

At these prices I'm doing everything in my power not to buy another BG Campdraft.

True, but it'll probably take another month for me to squirrel away the funds. Disability pay sucks.

A CD is a heck of a deal for $89!

That's how I got the hats I have now.

Ordered my CD in SB 3MOS AGO from Sam at EA and paid abt $100. It should b here very soon and really glad I didn't wait. Woulda been time for summer straws when it finally arrived.

I creased my Adventurer myself, it really isn't very difficult. Watch the tutorial videos. Once you hold the hat in your hand you'll get a feel for how easy it is.
I didn't use water or steam, later as I wore the hat I just kept tweaking the crease. It changes and grows to become "your" hat over time.

 

[RJR]

Looks good,Paladin111.

Hello, does anyone own an Akubra Safari? What are your thoughts on this specific hat?

 

[johnnycanuck]

Not to derail anything here but I just came across this web page that carries Akubras. It is expensive…… oh my are they expensive. However they have great pictures of the hats from different angles. For myself I usually fussed over purchasing hats not knowing what they looked like outside of stock photos. This can give people a better idea of what they look like from all round.

Those US or AUS $$$'s?

Aus$ and it includes a free worldwide shipping option. Takes about two to three weeks though.
