Camptown 1945

Post by Ripper »

My Camptown has arrived. I am the proud owner of hat # "007" 8) I thought that was pretty cool ! The fit is great, a little stiff but will break in nicely ! I fully recommend Camptown hats!! Jersey Jones Is an A + in my book ! I'm kinda tired and had a bad day :( so I will let the pics speak for themselves !

VERY nice looking Camptown, Rip! What are you doing specifically to soften up the felt, if I may ask? Are you just going to use the hat and let it soften on it's own, or are you doing something different?

Regards! Michaelson

Thanks to Ripper for his kind words and positive review ! I have now got a few of each size and color ready to ship. You can also now visit camptownhats.com for more information ! I will also continue to honor the COW Discount for as long as I can afford to.

And if you like the hats, please tell your friends, since in order for me to make them, I , ya know, need to sell them to people ! :P

Regards
Ken

That is a great looking Metropolitan Rip! Since you've had it for a while and it should feel like second nature on you head by no, could you post more pics please? :D Maybe some outdoor shots?

Cheers!

I will, My digital camera is at the bottom of the lake at Disneyland . I plan on buying a new one at the end of the month. It is fairly soft now, and fits great !

Ooh. Sorry to hear about that. We were there just last weekend. I had a digital camera of mine washed and then dried not too long ago. Fried it.
But, if you go to this site you may be able to pick up a Kodak Easy Share V803 for a reasonable price.

Worth a try anyway. It was the best price that I had found on an 8 megapixel digital camera, and it fits in a shirt pocket.

Can't wait to see what you got. :D

Cheers!

Hey JJ I got the impression from a thread somewhere that you were soon to cease trading. Is that still true, or did I misunderstand something?

Your hats look great, so I hope I dreamed it. :(

That's a great looking hat. When I get a little more loose change, an odd idea to contemplate for a college kid, I'm going to get onf of those. You'll love it. I certainly love my Fieldmaster. By the way JJ, the name Fieldmaster itself is pretty cool. I wore it out to a bar the other night, and several ladies took an interest in it. I certainly felt like a master of the field. Now, If only I could get them to like me when I take the hat off. . . :-k
Cheers,
Chaos

Well, after touting the merrits of the Fieldmaster for so long I have put in an order for the Metropolitan! I can't wait to get my hands or my head on it. I have opted with the traditinal Indy center dent to go along with my Fieldmaster. This should be another great hat from Ken to go with either a suit or adventure gear. I will post pictures once I get it.

Cheers!
