What a hat from Aaron's...
Hey, nothing lost for trying on our end. I just feel bad that you put effort into something and then had it all fall apart. They never should have been that far out of sinc! Shame on them, and thank you for thinking of us. NB- Not-Bogart13

If you could only have one hat...
I have yet to find an indispesible straw hat. I've had a few that I liked, but none have ever been a must-have. In terms of felt hats, it would have to be an Art Fawcett custom. I have three, so could we make it "if you only had three hats..."? NB- Not-Bogart13

Help me pick my next color...
Oh, yeah. I posted that baby way back. It was my first vintage find when I first got the bug. I ran out of patience when the only thing I ever found in my size were OR's, though. Then I got bit by the Art Fawcett bug! Maybe one day I'll find a vintage whippet to keep my blue OR company. NB- Not-Bogart13

Light Blue Open Road
Great hat, JTL. I have one much like it! Same color, but mine has a darker sweatband and a different liner logo, and it was estimated as being from the 60's, so you might be right about yours being 50's. The light blue will show discolorations easily when examined, but always looks great when...- Not-Bogart13

Have you thought about a light blue? Like a powder blue or something like that? It's one of those colors that surprises you with how good it really looks. Here's a shot of my vintage Open Road in light blue...- Not-Bogart13

Considering a custom fed
I have no experience with Optimo, but my Avatar can attest to Art's great work. I've also become a fan of JP's work recently, and I know both AB's are great. It's all about what you want in a hat, from my POV. You want a beaver Indy hat, go AB. You want a rabbit Indy or non-Indy, call JP...- Not-Bogart13

Hat too large
I go to Michael's, Rag Shop, or some other craft store and by sheets of colored craft foam, They don't have a sticky surface, and don't really need any. They say put on their own, which is better for the hat, and easier to remove if the hat shrinks later on. I just cut the sheets into long...- Not-Bogart13

Pre-bashed Federation from Hats Direct - how easy to reshape?
Skip the steam, for sure. Use cool water that you trust (filtered, distilled, etc.). You don't have to soak it, but don't be shy about getting it wet at the creases. Work it out with you hands. When it's dry, gently go over the areas that show a crease line with a hat brush or lint brush...- Not-Bogart13

Does anyone still wear this summer work straw?
I've been looking for just such a hat! I have a wide brim one for yard work, but I want one for going out and about. Thanks, RBH! NB- Not-Bogart13

Some questions and observations after receiving my gray Akubra Federation yesterday.
01) Over time, by wearing it, playing with it, etc, the shape will get trained in. 02) I re-bashed mine several times over the first few weeks. This will actually help break in the hat, and letting it sit a day or two won't hurt unless you really make deep creases or hit it steam or water...- Not-Bogart13

polypropylene TechStraw????
I was actually looking at the Riverz Delta. lol I don't know how I feel about a plastic hat, but remember how annoying it was last summer when rain was in the forcast. I overheat very easily, so I need something breathable, like straw, but able to stand a little rain. NB- Not-Bogart13

playitagainsam; The brind new Federation I have in my closet measure about 2.75 inches of brim rear and sides, and just a tiny bit more in front. The crown will be about 5.5 inches before you bash it, but a diamond or c-crown should bring it down to about 5. Rick Blaine; That Akubra Swing...- Not-Bogart13
