Camptown 1957 Legend

Post by DoubleOhSeven »

Was just wondering if anyone has one, and if so, how is it doing so far?

Seems like a really nice and durable hat.....

Since it's only a different style and made from the exact same felt, they should be holding up as well as all the other Camptowns. So far they're holding up great. ;)

That shouldn't suprise anyone, though, as the felt comes from the exact same felter who supplies AB (US), Penman, and Peters Brothers hats, just to name a few. :TOH:

The Camptowns I have re-blocked is the western rabbit/ beaver blend 50/50.

Yeah, Ken started using them, which was a good move. I think Art and I were the first to use this feltmaker for the dress hats. But many western hatters have used their western line for a long time. Most western hatters will tell you, this company is the one to use for western hats. Plus, they only started offering dress weight bodies right before I started making hats. Very convenient. :D Most dress hatters like Barons, were unaware this company was offering dress weight bodies. I changed that. :lol: It's the best well kept secret in hatmaking. But not so much these days. Fedora
