Well you can certainly take credit for having a nicely bashed hat.I can't take credit, that bash was done by the salesman at Byrnie Utz where the hat was purchased.Though I am looking forward to putting the bash in my BGGCD when it finally arrives.

[/URL]That looks super,nice job.Well I'm trying to post pictures for the fist time. Here is my first Akubra Federation IV in Carbon Grey. Have to say I'm in love with this hat. Very nice felt, fits great and was very easy to bash. It was my first time bashing a hat and was a little nervous about it, but it went very well. I wanted to put a teardrop in it but thought for my first try it might be best to center crease it. It has already seen rain and held up great.

Yeah that looks great. I think the center dent looks best in the Fed. I've tried diamonds and teardrops and they just never look quite right to me.Well I'm trying to post pictures for the fist time.

New Bushman I picked up yesterday from JJ Hat Center while visiting NYC.
Very Nice!New Bushman I picked up yesterday from JJ Hat Center while visiting NYC.
I just heard back from hatsdirect and it looks like are getting ready for a new deluxe color in the Campdraft:Here's a thread to keep up with all the Akubra's. Sort of a documentation to keep up with all the styles and actual pics of these wonderful lids perched on our heads. I borrowed the title from a post by Carter...
Here's my Adventurer...purchased from Outback Outlet in Pa. It's a really soft and floppy fur felt, not to be confused with David Morgans current offering, also dubbed the "Adventurer".
The next is a Bushman from DM. Good, solid brown hat. It's softened up nicely since it's purchase in Feb of '08.
Here's my Camp Draft in silverbelly. One incredible hat!
First shot in open crown...pre bash...
The next shot is with a diamond bash added...
One happy Akubra owner...
Now lets see the rest...ready...set....go!
I'm interested to see what they offer.
Thank you. And Its Deluxe too.
