I use photobucket as well. When I get the mouse to hover over the gear icon, select the get links option, then click on IMG codes...this is with the new version of the website.
Congrats on new jacket & FYI, you cannot just attach a photo as it would seem for this forum. You have to post photo to a hosting site & use the IMG url to reference it. HTH
+1...I have 2 vintage stretchers, 1 Hat-Jack & a band block (made by a customer hatter the exact shape of my noggin). I rotate hats on one of these apparatuses quite frequently, especially those that I have stretched up a size. I am not sure I have ever had one stretched up that became fully...
I wear a 7 5/8, measure 24" around. I have always ordered 61 Akubras = Campdrafts, Fed4, Bushman, etc.
Imperial grade Akubras do draw in some. Heritage not so much.
From the Stetson Quality Think Tank thread (All of these are fur felt starting with Royal) =
Next Generation, early 40's-60's I'm guessing is as follows
Royal
Royal DeLuxe / Royal Stetson DeLuxe
Medalist
Sovereign
Imperial
Premier
I'm not certain as to the placement of the "Medalist"...
Hatsdirect is the only source for the Federation IV. It is an exclusive model for them like the Heritage Deluxe Campdraft. Can't get them anywhere else...
It is like getting a pristine antique car or a current day kit car...just something about the originals....former Lounger has sold 2 of these Royal Deluxe Strats for large cash lately....
Campdrafts are closer to the Open Road in their flange which is basically the difference in an Open Road & a Strat.
The Strat has the scoopy flange where the OR has the flatter brim.
