Campdraft & Squatter?

How do those 2 compare Dundee?

 

[Stoney]

It looks great!

A vintage Knox in NOS shape is a rare find. Enjoy

Thanks to Robfedorafield I acquired this grey Knox. It is in great near to NOS shape.

Nicely done

Great job on the ribbon change. It looks like a completely different hat now,
and much better than a stock Campcraft IMHO.

Thanks for the great comments, all. As Mr. Paladin and Not-Bogart13 indicate, that thin ribbon on the Campdraft is a beauty. But I'm more a wide ribbon guy, so I thought I'd attempt a ribbon switch.

That's a good'n, Carter!

The body is good but the ribbon and crappy cotton sweatband were poorly attached (note wrinkle in ribbon) so I took them both off while waiting for a haircut. I'm thinking of putting in a grosgrain sweatband after reattaching the ribbon.

Carter, I have a felt-only hat that I need to add a thin sweatband to - where do you purchase grosgrain sweatbands?

Here's one of my most recent pick-ups - an originally $5 Knox straw fedora that is too big (7 1/2), so I stuffed it with felt bands...'cause I just can't let go of it. I re-worked the brim using steam on small sections at a time, which worked very well:

Scott, You can often find grosgrain ribbon on ebay. It can also be purchased in shorter lengths and various widths at Farmhouse Fabrics online http://webstore.quiltropolis.net/sto...ids=0 .

Your Knox straw is a wonderful hat. If you ever decide to part ways with it, please let me know.

This hat is perfect,unworn.It's thin and light like my stratoliner.Slightly tight on me,I'm not sure yet what to do with it..

 

[ScottF]

Carter and Bill - thanks for the links!

Carter - I'll let you know if I decide to let it go. When I bought it I was hoping it would be a 'small' 7 1/2, but it's huge.

Let's see that bad boy on your nog!
