Order mine open crown!
Steve Delk makes one nice fedora. His 100% pure beaver from $225.00 is one of the best buys on the hat market anywhere. My goal is to have one of all the colors he can produce. Love his hats!!
In the old days when the hat co's started making thinner hats the bound edge gave some support to the brim. Today with so many choices I think its a matter of style and what you like. :)
This isn't a camel but the hat I will wear today on Christmas from Art Fawcett. One of my favorites for sure.

Nice looking shop and with all those vintage blocks so many choices. I have several of Art's fedora's. Here is one he made for me last year. He has them from $125.00 and up. :) :cheers1: :)...
Shrink in.
Every Akubra I have ever bought was to big at first and I used foam behind the sweat band but in a few weeks as I wore the hat I had to remove the foam. I wear a size 59cm. Yours will fit fine in a few weeks I'm postive.:)
I try not .
If I see a fellow lounge member I won't bid but with 1550 of us now I can't remember every name! No, I have never had a problem in 5 years with Hammersnipe.:)
To keep the prices down don't bid till the last few seconds of the auction. If you bid before all you are doing is bidding yourself up! If I see a hat I like I put it in my "Items I'm Watching" on Ebay The snipe program is good if the auction ends in the middle of the night or if you are away...
Snipe that hat.
I use the free service it bids the last 10 seconds or so. You put in the max you will pay and it bids for you.

I just spoke to Art he was at it till 4 am this morning. All his hard work has finally came together. I'm off to the post office to mail my hat body's to Art.:cool:
Try our own!
If you want a Bogie hat that you can wear for ever I would give Art Fawcett a call at 1-888-270-3954. He can make you a custom for a little more than factory prices. He is a excellent hatter.:)
I have found about 90% of all hats unless custom are not sized correctly. Get the seller to measure the inside of the hat for you. Better to be safe than sorry!
All good hatters
