    I love the Fed IV!!

    Mine is 4" in the front; 3 1/2" in back. I put a tugboat effect on it - it goes up to 4 1/2" at the very back of the side dents.

    I got close I got close to Bogey with that Fed bash.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Agreed. I know our newest hats tend to become our favorites, at least for a while, but I think it's going to be tough for another hat to knock my new moonstone Fed IV off the top of the list. First of all, it's comfortable as Hell - yes, that's an oxymoron. I got the deluxe. Comparing this...

    Akubra Overload

    Distlilled water in a small spray bottle. I wet the top first and bashed it. Then I wet the sides for the dents and did those. Lastly I wet the front of the brim, from the crown all the way to the tip, then pulled it down as far as I could. After that, I set it in a safe place and let it dry...

    Akubra Overload

    I usually like a snap brim, and I thought of working with this one to bring the back up. I've decided against it, though. No reason for all my hats to look the same . . . Besides, this might give me an excuse to buy a moonstone Stylemaster.;)

    Will do. Thx.

    mine arrived today, too!

    Interesting, I went with distilled water in a spray bottle, too. Steam didn't seem as controllable to me either. I also wondered how long the felt would stay pliable with steam. With water, I resprayed when it started to dry, which was only one area. I'd be interested what others think about...

    Akubra Overload

    Arrived Today 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" at...

    Fed IV Deluxe My moonstone Fed IV Deluxe arrived today. I ran home to get the box out of the rain . . . only immediately douse the hat with distilled water. As soon as it dries, I'll post some pics. I gave it a cross between the Stylemaster and the Maltese Falcon bash on the non-Indy thread...

    Do You Have a Lucky Hat?

    Hope your luck turns for the better. :eusa_clap I had never thought of it, but I don't have a lucky hat . . . I don't think, but how do I know for sure? Maybe I won't know until I lose my lucky hat and my luck turns bad . . . :eusa_doh: :eusa_doh:

    So Very Bummed

    Okay, hate to be the hard ass here, but . . . Hats Direct ought to give you something for their screw up. Covering the postage of you mailing back the hat THEY incorrectly sent you isn't good enough. Another hat company (I'll withhold their name) sent me the wrong hat last year. They told...

    AUCTION #172: Lee - Trinity - Size 7 3/8 - C0000228982

    Okay, I'm having a total idiot attack. It's after 9:00 p.m. Eastern, even those the FL clock, which is obviously set to Central, reads 8-whatever. This auction has ended, correct?

    Sorry, I misread the end time. I have more time to consider another bid on this.

    AUCTION #172: Lee - Trinity - Size 7 3/8 - C0000228982

    Good win, MW. Nice hat. I just couldn't justify $200+ to my wife right now.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Yes, definitely. No. 73 - the milan teardrop is high-crowned without taper. Definitely has the classic fedora feel to it.
