Was just wondering if anyone has one, and if so, how is it doing so far?
Seems like a really nice and durable hat.....

Re: Camptown 1957 Legend
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.

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. 
Most dress hatters like Barons, were unaware this company was offering dress weight bodies. I changed that. 
It's the best well kept secret in hatmaking. But not so much these days. Fedora
