My Akubra Federation 4 in Moonstone has a very flat top. I think this is because I store it on its crown, and that's flattened out the top of the hat. Is there any way to restore it so that its got a nice round top again?
Ok, because I thought I wasn't allowed to post on this forum anymore because I happen to like a particular style of hat, and also because I just got a new hat I like and wanted to share it with other people.
You too man. There aren't enough hat wearers around anymore. We need to bring it back.
On a side note, I'm really looking to branch out into other styles of hat. I love the old fashioned hats with the tall crowns, thick ribbons and big brims.
Thank you, that's really kind of you to say. I did bash it again, but honesty I don't think it made any difference. I realised it wasn't that the hat was tapered, the left and right side are parallel, it was just the angle I was looking at the hat from. Kind of stupid, but I am a little bit...
What hat is the guy in the silhouette for this website wearing?
I'm assuming it's a Stetson Whippet, I just wanted confirmation. I'm considering buying one. I really want a properly old fashioned fedora, with a tall, untapered, crown, a nice thick ribbon, and a decent sized brim.
I figure...
Thought I'd post some better images so you can see where I'm coming from.
Also, the dark brown hat feels extremely stiff when compared to the Moonstone hat. It's almost like they're two totally different hats.
Yes, but when I bought the same hat in Moonstone a year ago and put the same creases in it, it didn't react the same way. I'm assuming Akubra use the same block, so surely I should get the same results?
Hi, so I just bought a new Federation 4 in Dark Brown, and after putting the bash in it, it appears to have become quite badly tapered. My other moonstone Federation 4 has not tapered at all in the year since I bought it, with the same bash. So I'm wondering if I've done something wrong. Pics...
Yeah, I don't want to import a hat from the US because I'll get stung on import duty. So given the choice I'd rather buy an Australian hat, like an Akubra, but those Stetsonians really look like the sort of hat I was after.
