Break In Brim
Iron the brim. Steam iron with a thin handkerchief between iron & felt. You can spray brim with distilled water beforehand too. Usually works out any brim issues I have run into except the torn brim kind....HTH -

Hatter location question...
Optimo is a good source for sweatband replacement but you'll get a total refurb. Lots of hatters have more business making custom hats that doing repair services takes away from their main source of higher profit margin. I had one send back 2 hats at his expense rather than replace the sweats... -

Akubra Fed IV vs Biltmore Taylor Fedora?
I have a Moonstone Imperial Fed4 that I had customized, smaller ribbon with trimmed & bound brim edge. It is a very durable & comfortable hat. I wear it frequently & in foul weather. I'd love to see Akubra take the same bodies & block & put out a version styled like a Wanderer... -

Akubra Fed IV vs Biltmore Taylor Fedora?
Dimensional is when the front & back of the brim are different widths than the sides. Regular brims are same width all the way around. The Indiana Jones hat was dimensional with the front & back slight wider than the sides. HTH -

Akubra Campdraft
