Ask a question, get an answer
Because wool hats are formed in a hydralic press and the felt doesn't respond as well as fur-felt altering crown height won't be easy. Steam and pushing down might work, but they don't generally respond well to reshaping. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks for the comments on the green Biltmore. I shall leave it as is for now - it looks better in photos than in the mirror... Perry - I had to make do with a bottle of Guinness original, not the same as draught but not bad ;) Joao - I agree with Michael, the brim looks good as is. Michael -... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
BlackMaskPulp - Nicely worn Fed. My bank manager would love me to be spending other people's money rather than my own :) --- NOS Canadian made Biltmore Imperial today. The brim is wider than I really like homburgs to be, but it's growing on me, although I'm still undecided on the shade of... -

Frank and Rolo - great hats. Frank - with felts I'd recommend liberally dusting with bicarb of soda, leaving for a while then brushing off. It might not work as well with straw, but I can't see it doing any harm. -

Michael - the Premiere Strat looks great. -
Akubra Fed IV vs Biltmore Taylor Fedora?
I second g.d.'s comments. I have two old stock Canadian made Biltmores from just before they were taken over, and even the better one isn't as well made as the Akubra Feds. I've not tried the new Hatco owned Biltmores, but unless they're significantly better than the standard Hatco felts of... -

Joao - if you hold on tight you could use the hat for hang-gliding ;) Seriously - it looks great. --- Thanks all for the comments on the Fed.
