    If you all would forgive a bad photo taken in front of a mirror…, a Fed IV Deluxe in Moonstone from just before clocking in this morning!

    Stretching a hat - advice please....

    Thanks for all the advice, it’s very appreciated! The stretcher is in so we’ll see what happens, I don’t need it to really even go up a half size, just relax the fit if that makes sense. Always the danger with factory made hats, the sizing can get a little hit or miss sometimes.

    Stretching a hat - advice please....

    It’s certainty come in handy with my other hats, they never get too tight-except perhaps when in desperate need of a hair cut- but it is nice to loosen them back up on occasion. I just hope it’ll loosen this new one up a little so it doesn’t shrink too far on me. Though it is new and stiff so...

    Stretching a hat - advice please....

    So I just got a brand new hat in my correct size, 7 3/8 and found it to fit….but very snuggly. Usually a 7 3/8 will feel a little loose then snug up a bit to feel right. This one is pretty snug right out of the box which was very surprising. Now it doesn’t hurt or leave a red line across my...

    Not the “best” hats ever made but certainly an excellent product and a solid company!

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Honestly, just wear the heck out of it in rain, snow and heat and it’ll be a perfect fit in no time. Mine’s two years old now and it’s been through Florida summer and a Colorado snow storm and feels like a custom fit now. I would highly recommend taking some sharp scissors and snipping out the...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Absolutely second this, my brown Fed 4 is meant to be Last Crusade style and it’s taken two years of wear, a snow storm and not infrequent manhandling of the brim to finally start getting the famous cowboy curls as seen in that film. It was well worth achieving it the long way though, I feel...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Excellent point! I suppose I can’t disagree with you though the history major in me wouldn’t help but get a bit nervous

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Probably depends. I know when the day comes that I can finally order an Advintage hat or two the intention would be regular year long use. Of course they have the reputation for that. My two Fed 4 Deluxes are daily use of course. But if I can ever get an awesome vintage hat that’ll probably be...

    Maltese Falcon Crease

    Yeah, the diamond bash really suits it, due I’m sure to the relatively high open crown. The angles are much more slick and sharp than on anything factory shaped and the inevitable asymmetry gives a nice human touch. I wish I was talented enough to make the brim symmetrical and reflange it into a...

    Maltese Falcon Crease

    Thank you so much, I always get nervous as to wether it just looks silly on me, but I’ve loved classic fedoras since I was a teenager. Thanks! It’s so much more fun to wear now with that diamond bash, feels very suave.
