Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Great. I think I might have bid on that Johnnyphi. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Will post pics as soon as I have it. I didn't quite understand the seller's logic. From what I've seen on FL and a few eBay auctions, he probably could have gotten more than $100 for an Adam in good shape. But a $49.99 starting bid, and a $100 buy-it-now. [huh] Seems like he decided he... -

BTW, the seller says that is dust on the crown. No damage. -

Adam http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150335301019#description Went ahead last night and bought this Adam on the $100 "Buy-it-now" price (plus $15 shipping). Looks like the hat is in good shape. From the research I had done and from lessons learned on previous auctions, it... -

How to get that 'Tugboat'-shape
"Rake." Thanks. I never knew that is the name. I really enjoy learning new terminology. Speaking of which, does anyone know the origin of "tugboat"? I read it somewhere, but I can't remember where. -
How to get that 'Tugboat'-shape
I wet the hat, put in a center bash to get my front and back at the right heights. I then push the center bash out into a C crown. After this, I measure how far back from the front that I want the peak, and then I use my fingers from beneath the crown to push the peak to the proper height. Than... -
Show Your Early Hat Tendencies
Same. lol lol My mom has one I'll try to get. I got a slouch hat from somewhere when I was around three or four. My mom says that I got up in the morning, put it on, and wore it until I went to bed. Good kid. -

No prob. The seller has several other "fidoras" for sale. Picked them up at estate sales. -

Showcase of Non-Indy Federations
Crown starts out low in the front, goes up, and then slopes off to the back. My Fed IV goes from 4" in the front to 4 1/2" just behind the dents down to 3 1/2" in the very back. I have no idea why it's called a tugboat. For that matter, I don't remember where I read that name. -

You sniped me by three bucks. Nice win. -
Showcase of Non-Indy Federations
I changed the heights and added the tugboat effect. Those are the only differences. I might have brought the front of the brim down a little more than yours. I like my brim fronts to be almost perpendicular to the ground. -

ValEag, how wide is the brim on that Akubra fedora? -

Maltese Falcon Here's my just dried Moonstone Fed IV Deluxe. I went with a combination of kaosharper's modified Maltese Falcon bash with the height of the store-bought bash on the Akubra Stylemaster. The front is 4"; the back is 3 1/2". I put a tugboat effect on the sides; they rise to 4 1/2"... -
I love the Fed IV!!
I agree, Variety keeps us going. I've thought about getting some equipment . . . I probably will over the next few years . . . Does that mean I need to find a 12-step program? :D :D [DISCLAIMER: Note the smiley. That was a joke. Not taking a shot at recovery programs.] -
I love the Fed IV!!
I agree with you, Viper, but I think comparing contemporary hats to vintage hats is comparing apples to oranges. The vintage hats are better. Period. Now, I'm not speaking for high, high-end contemporary hats - over $300. My Fed IV has a slight curl to the back of the brim - not as much as I... -
