    Epic hat destruction

    I agree that this hat now has "character." You can smooth the brim by using a steam iron. Start with medium temperature. Frankly, I've never had problems going to maximum temperature, but that's at the US voltage of 120. You can also blow steam over the crown, and try to smooth it (without...

    No Love For Black Hats

    Blackthorn, check this out: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?72750-Vintage-Borsalino-7-3-8-for-sale I've seen the hat (bought a Wormser from Nolan - he lives nearby). As noted above, the burgundy/maroon ribbon combination is stunning. The hat looks like a modern Borso Bellagio.

    Akubra Federation IV Standard or Deluxe?

    Red Prince, as you see here, and in other threads on the Lounge, Akubra gets a lot of love. And with good reason. For me it's the combination of elegance and robustness. When it rains, I feel like I want to challenge the rain with my Fed IV or Campdraft. And be warned, as blazerbud said...

    Beaver Brand Hats, gone?

    It's sad to see all that equipment and associated materials, plus the hats, going out at auction. Hope some of you give it good new homes.

    Vintage Stetson Whippet like Fedora 7 1/2(3/8)

    Really nice, Bond. Good lines on the hat. The blue grey is a diversified color.

    Akubra Federation IV Standard or Deluxe?

    I concur that the sweatband and the felt are better on the Deluxe. The Heritage Fawn in Deluxe is a great, distinct color for this type of hat.

    Tom Gomez Cuenca panama 7 3/8

    The brim looks to be a bit less than 2 1/2 inches, unless it's a really tall crown. Nice hat for the price. Tom does good work.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Andy, you did a beautiful job. Who cares what subtle, if any, differences there are between a "C crown" and a "teardrop"! Your hats look great. Enjoy David

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    The Como Andy, my experience with a couple of the modern Comos is to do a C crown to minimize the taper. Yes, dents are hard to hold because the felt is so soft, but that's true with many of the vintage Borsos. I just allow time to rebash it, with a little steam, each time I wear it.
