Another nice job. That’s quite a hat. I don’t know why but I am very fond of hats with flat brims. The open crown though isn’t for everyone. I have that on my Rodeo King cowgirl hat but the brim is shaped and I would like it flat like the Tom Mix. 👍☮️🌞🎸🚴♀️🐾❤️
waiting for that steam in the beginning was a mutha!!!! 🙄🤣 yet another masterpiece done by the Hat Master cause NOBODY works a Crease like Kevin!!!!!! 😲🤭🤘🎸😉
I miss the bushman hat.luckily I bought a new one last year waiting for my old one to give up the ghost.campdraft brim is smaller but close to the bushman.thanks Kevin
@@tkblouch6745 nobody stocks a Tom mix now, during the pandemic Stetsons have been impossible to get , unless it’s very old stock, it’ll be impossible to find
Hey Kev, thanks for the tip a few days ago on getting a Campdraft to bash in an Open Road style. Ordered it from David Morgan per your advice, and it works perfectly! Thanks again!
Great job, Kevin! Sweet shirt, too! I like the stiffness of Akubra hats. I just ordered another Federation IV Deluxe in black to go with my Federation IV Deluxe in dark brown and my Camp Draft in bluegrass green. The Feds will both have center creases while the Camp Draft has a Cattleman's crease. I am not liking my Borsalino Verdi very much. Fabulous style but very floppy felt. What brands do you carry, Kevin, that are stiff like the Akubras? As for the creases and pinches that I put in those open crown hats.....I learned the entire technique from watching your videos Kevin. THANK YOU!!! Doc
Question akurbra recommends using What they call a cowboy method. Getting it wet in the rain and bashing in the shape. What difference is that from steaming it in? Like the pros and cons of both methods
Same thing, works the same way. but it only works with strong, thick, high quality, rugged felt like Akubra. Try that with most hats and it’ll be toast. The only thing I’d say would work w the cowboy method are akubras or “real” westerns, (not open roads,Dune,Gun Club,Stratoliner) I can name your a dozen hats that won’t even take steam without the brim curling, much less water.. it depends on the hat. Akubra will work, and they’re only suggesting to do it on the crown, wetting any brim is risky.
Good choice, it’s nice. It’ll look good if you don’t steam it, you can shape it like a cattleman crease one day, or wear it open crown another day.. One way I really like that hat? Personally?.. i like to make a single center crease on top, and then make side pinches, but really high up on the crown, very small ones.. yo high..it gives it a cool, tall kinda Jonny Deep vintage look thing..
@@KTGHATS I’m so glad I haven’t steamed any of my Campdraft hats yet . I know what ya mean by the crease at top of crown with the sides pushed in a little . I will try . PS - I found a Bluegrass Green CD ♥️ I normally wear a size 59 , but this one is a size 60 . I really hope it’s not too big 🙏🙏🙏 I don’t like to use those strips so I’m thinking of just shrinking . Any methods to shrinking ???? It should be here this week . Ordered from a store in Australia called Austrailian Gear .
I seen in some of the other videos. It looks like two of the same style hats, different colors. One of the hats had a grouping of circular pin holes. There was a group on the sides, and then one on the top. I’m guessing this is for venting and is an option.
Hello Kevin I want to bend the brim a little lower in the front on this hat. I have been bending down every day, but it's not staying. Any tips on how to do it?
Bend it further, harder,all the way.. you want to bend it way further than you want it.. keep at it, be confident and just bend that sucker , treat the brim like it’s a flat plane, grab it w two hands and bend it all the way down,bo further than you did,and do it a few times to get it even.. if the hat is just too floppy and soft, the brim might need stiffening, but usually it doesn’t matter, you can bend down any brim without stiffening it
Akubra is a great hat !! I have 2 campdrafts - I forget the names of the colors they call them - I call it green and dark brown - one I shaped pinch frt style - the other I tried to mimmick an open Rd style - I also have a couple of there cowboy style hats - I think I favor them over stetson - love your vids - GOD bless
I could not find any AKUBRA Campdraft in brown … but I did find a Brown AKUBRA by RM Williams . It’s absolutely very similar to the Campdraft. I love it !! I’ve seen Johnny Depp wearing one and I was sold on it . Some say it’s a different brand but I think not . If you go to look at the photos of the guy wearing the hat on the website of RM Willians , he does not do the hat justice . The crown looks wayyyy too big on his head !!! So I was really Leary about that . Once I received, I did some rebashing work and steamed the brim to how I like . Viola !! A Campdraft ♥️♥️♥️ One of my favorites now .

Showed called justified main character rayland givens wears a baron hat 800ish dollars sometimes a stetson carson which they don't make anymore. If you go on UA-cam type in justified pawn shop. Do you know of a hat that's comparable in looks. Thanks
Akubra makes awesome hats. Love my "Leisure Time"! 😃
Kevin, great job again ...! 👌

How cool is that. I never thought you could have turned to that into an Indiana Jones hat. Absolutely amazing!
Thanks you!
@@KTGHATS thank you kevin. For all the hard work you put into making these really cool Hat videos man I enjoy them.
Kevin, you are a true craftsman ! Well done
That's my hat! Beautiful job Kevin!
Big Bad Buffalo Bill ! It’s all ready to go, shipping out tomorrow,Monday . Wear it in the best of health!

Very nice work! And, very nice hat!

Yup, I agree
Write to Akubra, tell them you miss it !
Made a mistake in the dialogue, this is “Buffalo” Bill D’s Hat, not Marcellus
Do you have the stetson Tom Mix hat in silverbelly 7.5?

I just received this hat a few weeks ago and have not decided on the crown shape yet .
This is going to be epic !!!

Yes
I've been thinking about getting a campdraft . Does it have a high crown like the Strationer premier? I'm thinking of getting a tear drop.
Not as high and boxy as the premier, but it’s a little bit like that
Nice work Kevin. Any word on Stetsons coming back? I would like to get a Whippet or a Temple from you.
No,word yet, 😢😊
Got a few hats and got a coupon code but most of the good ones are sold out already. Wow those hats move fast.
Great looking hat

Classic Indiana Jones
One of these years Akubra's going to send us some Campdrafts in chestnut brown or chocolate and I'll snag one up.
I could not find any AKUBRA Campdraft in brown … but I did find a Brown AKUBRA by RM Williams .
It’s absolutely very similar to the Campdraft.

So I was really Leary about that .
Once I received, I did some rebashing work and steamed the brim to how I like .
Viola !!
A Campdraft ♥️♥️♥️
