    My Blue Heaven

    Hi, sorry for posting a few different threads today. I'm curious about the Herbert Johnson Poet from this website. http://www.swaineadeneybrigg.com/store/herbert-johnson/poet-hat/poet-hat Now, the hat on the website looks quite good, nice colour, nice crease etc. I'm wondering if that's what...

    Federation 4 Deluxe Picture Request

    Yeah, I'm planning to give a proper Indy bash to make it look like the grey clipper fedora.

    Advice about my hat

    Yeah actually looking at the pictures, it looks like the whole crown is kind of sloped in that direction. I've done the best I can though, I enjoy wearing it now.

    Federation 4 Deluxe Picture Request

    So I decided to take the plunge and bought a Fed 4 Deluxe in Moonstone as a dressier hat. Just wondered if anyone had any pictures of theirs that they could share so I can see how it will look. Thanks a lot.

    Advice about my hat

    So I thought I'd post a few follow up photos. I tweeked the dent on on the non-bow side a little bit, which removed most of the taper. Basically I lowered it about half and inch. I can't get it perfectly boxy, but I think that's to do with the shape of the hat, so I'm guessing this is about...

    Advice about my hat

    Also, do you think I pushed the side dents a little too far back. I'm thinking I should pull them forward a little bit.

    Advice about my hat

    Ok, but I'm wondering why does it look fairly boxy on one side but not the other? I thought that it would have the same open crown shape all around, so applying the same dent should achieve the same effect surely?

    Advice about my hat

    Hi guys, I'm not going for sort of super 100% screen accurate. My hat is a David Morgan Akubra Adventurer, size 60. I just wanted it to look a bit squarer at the top. Btw, I have seen John Penman's video multiple times. I'm really just using Indy's hat as a guide, but I really like the...

    Detective style fedora

    Thanks a lot, that looks like a nice hat. Sorry for not responding, I've been on holiday for 2 weeks and didn't have time to check in on the thread.

    Advice about my hat

    So I spent a little time just adjusting the bash on my hat to get it a little bit closer to looking like Indy's hat. The problem I've got is that while the right hand side of the hat looks pretty much perfect, the left hand side appears to have a very slight taper and this kind of "dome" shaped...

    Detective style fedora

    Yes, but I'm looking for that style of fedora, and a good one. For example, would a Stetson do the job? The detective is just to give an idea, but it's what a typical American gentleman would have worn with a suit, that kind of Fedora.

    Yes sorry, I meant American detective, a bit like this.

    Detective style fedora

    So I'm interested in buying a 50's style, detective, fedora, but I'm not sure which brand makes good ones. Can anyone recommend any to me? Cheers.

    Removing creases from hat

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. My hat has a kind of "domed" look to it, but his is more "boxed" if that makes sense. I was thinking about buying a Fed 4 Deluxe at some point too, just to have a bit of variety. I think it also has that kind of "boxier" shaped crown.

    Removing creases from hat

    Thanks guys. What I'm curious to know is though, how does Indiana Jones get that kind of "mushrooming effect" on his hat? The reason I ask is because the top of my hat, the flat part when you look up at it, is smaller than his. So his crown looks a lot straighter than mine.

    Removing creases from hat

    So here's my hat after a rebash. I decided to do the full Raiders bash, including the turn. The bash I had in it before the ribbon was too far back and I didn't like it, so I wanted to be able to see the ribbon more from the front. Let me know what you guys think.

    Removing creases from hat

    I've tried re-creasing it while it's wet, but it's still conforming to the shape of the old creases.

    Removing creases from hat

    Ok, so I've sprayed the hat till it's completely wet, well the crown anyway, so you're saying that when it dries it will lose the "memory" of the old creases?
