    I love the Fed IV!!

    I suspect the hat colors of the Tawny Fawn vary by a considerable degree from one hat to another. I plan to go to Katoomba and look with my own eyes. I just don't see how the image below, which one of the loungers once posted, could ever be considered the same color as what I have in my...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    This is the regular/tawny fawn. My Banjo Paterson is in heritage fawn and it is a much lighter, grayish color. This tawny fawn is not a bad color I suppose, but it doesn't speak to me. I'll take it out in the sunlight today and see but I was super excited about a hat with more of a yellowish...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I arrived at home base today and my FedIV was waiting! I didn't even wet it - I just bashed that dude. He creases like cardboard paper but wears like silk. I love him! I even went ahead and stitched in a feather a friend gave me yesterday... I don't like the color. I was hoping for a...

    Akubra Overload

    I just completed a major overhaul of "O'Feral," my beloved Banjo Paterson. I removed the leather band due to mould, cleaned the felt and turned the hat around backwards to give some protection to a small hole that's formed. Then I rebashed it and put on a new band (prayer beads, actually). I...

    Monster Bash Videos ... show us how you bash!!

    I really like this thread and would love to see it continue. So I made a series of videos of me doing a major overhaul of my Akubra Banjo Paterson. I removed the leather band due to mould, I shampooed (yes!) and rebashed it then added a new band (actually, a set of prayer beads from India)...

    Movie hats

    Glad I'm not the only one who was quite taken with it. I've also been thinking of getting one custom made. Out of curiosity, how would you describe the hat? Dimensions? Do you also see a slight side taper?

    "Please update your account"

    That is truly a shame. I hope somebody can find a solution.

    I've been using an image shrinking app before uploading.

    I just upload them to the Lounge. Should I be using a third party platform of some kind?

    "Please update your account"

    Thank you, Imperator, that's what I needed to hear. I sure hope the Lounge doesn't suffer from this - already I can't access some of the images I was using to research new bashes, ribbons, etc.

    "Please update your account"

    I don't have a photobucket account. I've never used them, however some images from Fedora Lounge connect over there. Maybe they're now blocking all the images stored in their server from the Lounge? That's why I wonder if anybody else has seen this lately or if I should reboot my iPad to...

    "Please update your account"

    Hi all, I'm really new here and I woke up this morning to something I never saw before while I was lurking. Quite a lot of the images in the Fedora Lounge are turning up with the above image instead. It's not just in the Lounge itself, it's also on a Google Image search for Lounge shots, and...

    Akubra Overload

    [necklace by the way! I hardly know you but it seems to be working for you. You can always try to imagine how exciteable you'd be without it! :D

    Movie hats

    Yeah, these photos are what I could find on google. It is a gorgeous fedora to my eyes and I would love to bash a new hat in a similar way. Today I'm ordering either the FED IV or the Campdraft so I should have enough crown soon to play with! (The Banjo Paterson has zero crown. I think it's most...

    Movie hats

    One of the all-time greats! I still sing that song sometimes as I'm out hiking and camping: "Jeremiah Johnson made his way into the mountains. He was betting on forgetting all the pain he left behind." Very influential in my life, and my Akubra looks quite a lot like the hat he's wearing here...

    Movie hats

    Anybody see the new WONDER WOMAN? I'm a super amateur but I was really impressed by Steve Trevor's fedora. I wondered what others thought. I really like the crown dent as well and plan to something similar in my next fedora. What do you call this kind of dent? It's not quite a center dent, more...

    Akubra Overload

    I just saw that your Snowy River is 15 years old! Wow, Johnny, you DO keep good care of your hats! I'm a bit confused - do you have two different hats, or did you modify it on the day these shots were taken? Great necklace by the way!

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    Thank you Zombie, that's very useful for me!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Hi Dschonn, I'm going to order either a BGCD or a grey FED IV in the next few days and I see you have owned and enjoyed them both. From your experience, is there a deciding factor that would compel you to choose one over the other? My only complaint with the FED IV is that I would probably feel...
