Baron - great looking western.
Manfred - The Melone looks good - how did the repair go?
BJ - Your bashes are very distinctive. Looks very nice.

Third Fed IV of the week - first wear of the moonstone, and the bash needs a bit of fine...
g.d. A pair of fine lids. My preference swings slightly to the Adam, but it's a very close call.
David - that Black Cherry is a striking felt - works well with the navy shirt
Andy, TJones, Charlie - three great Stetsons in a row
g.d. Beautiful new purchase - you can almost feel the lightness...
Steve - that's a real beauty again. I'm really enjoying the German hats.
Joao - that looks great on you.
Jared - cool photo.
Andy - thanks for the info - it might be a little low with my big head.

Thanks for all the comments on the Fed. I wonder what proportion of the...
I'm also 60.2 and find a 60 in the imperial felt absolutely fine for the Campdraft, but prefer the 61 in the FedIV (the 60 in the fed fits but it's quite snug).
Thanks for all the comments on the last two hats of the week.
Cool but sunny today. After Monday's Tawny I went for the new Brown Fed IV:
I might go for the hat-trick and fit in the moonstone before the week is out.
McPeppers - I can't see the detail, but nice shape to it.
TJones - it looks good which is what matters more than what it's made of. Lovely cap too.
Stuffsmith - nice vintage pieces.
David - Lovely Whippet.
Andy - Looks good - is the felt finish that different from the Fed Imperials? I'm...
Maybe .75 is safer. It's tricky... I had a play in photoshop but my skills weren't up to keeping the head and band in proportion whilst altering the rest.
Mikko - sadly shrinkage on modern hats is a big problem.
The FedIV has a dimensional brim (slightly slimmer on the side) and the small difference is quite noticeable. Neither are very tapered, but I think without checking the specs the Fed is very slightly taller and slightly squarer.
I...
It's surprising what difference 1cm makes in a hat. Have a measure of your head - a US 7 3/8 should be approximately 59cm. Don't forget the Americans don't know how to label hats and their sizes are a size smaller than ours ;) :D
Pork pies are telescoped crowns i.e, there will be a sunken ring around the crown.

Your flat-top is a nice find.
