Camptown Lucky 13 - 2 years of non-treated torture

Post by JerseyJones »

Hi all,

Some folks had asked me to put up a pic or two of my personal lid "Lucky 13" which I have never rain and stain treated or cleaned apart from brushing. Yes, I abuse that one, so I know the ones you get are tough enough.

Without further fondue:

Image

This is added for comparison to the screen used HJ owned by our friend Desi which I promised in my post in Desi's thread

Image

And with the second photo (now my Avatar), anyone who can do a really creative Indy themed Photoshop background, etc. with it, will get free shipping on a Camptown whenever you order one, all other sales aside.

Thanks all

JJ

That hat looks great given all the abuse you put it through. I have no doubt about your being able to withstand what i'm going to put it through. I just can't wait to get my own now.

Thanks much. I actually wore it in an ice storm in 2007 and it was soaked through and frozen. Not part of my plan, but she held up pretty well.

N-joy !

Once again, I deliberately maltreated the whole hat to test it. The ribbon was no different. Ribbons are replaceable on any hat. I am doing mine now.

If you care for the hat as you should, and not torture test it, the ribbon will hold up well.

Try that abuse with a Dork Pac and see if you get a little more than some warpage and fading on the ribbon.

Not to mention what is left of the felt.

The lid looks great Ken! :clap: It has that '40 miles of bad road' look. Very cool! Just confirms what I've been saying, one tough lid.
And yes, "one should never dally with a Sicilian." :wink:

Cheers!

Thanks my friend. They are made for wearing, not worshiping.

Ken, I was hoping to catch you online! I wanted to know if you have any 7 1/8 long ovals available? Also my size is 22.5" if that works better, but still long oval.

Okay, I've voted....its a TIE !

Mola ram's Cairo Rooftops is eerily realistic. I love that. And Nobody's Logoed one just warms my heart. I feel like a Character in the Saga !

You both have free shipping coming to you on this one ! Be sure to email me at camptownhats@yahoo.com to remind me.

and no, the contest isn't over, I love all of these submissions a lot, and here is my new rule:

If you can do a background for me and post it here before APRIL 20, 2008, you will get free ground shipping in the USA.

Sound Good ?

I agree! They were the two best.

The moment I saw the Cairo skyline post, I knew my Petra shot didn't stand a chance.
