Some people recommend natural bristle paint brushes. Personally I use shoe brushes: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cherry-Blossom-Deluxe-Brush-Set/dp/B0077KNXG4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378309047&sr=8-1&keywords=shoe+brushes
Zombie_61 - difficult to tell from photos, but the first one doesn't look like my Akubra in Tawny Fawn. The Tawny Fawn is a very warm toned colour. From memory other people have commented that the Akubra Silverbelly is more of a sand colour than typical US silverbellys.
Personally although I like a centre dent and strong pinch - I'm not specifically wanting to copy Indiana Jones. What's become known as an 'indy bash' is a pretty classic way of bashing hats.
I'm probably the last generation in the UK to have worn a school cap to a state school (think Just William, only grubbier ;) ). They pretty much died out when I was at primary school (early 70's). Some Public (think private) school still have caps/hats as part of their uniform though.
It looks a nice hat - pretty much identical to the Australian market 'Fedora' I think (although does it have the wind cord?). Are you not tempted by the Fed IV?
Thanks dh66 - the closest I got to being a lawyer was a law degree, but I changed tack when I did my masters and have forgotten most of what I knew :)
Thanks to other folks for the kind comments.

David - great looking Strat.
Tom -...
Catching up a bit. Thanks for the comments on the boater.

Randall - Lovely Borso. I haven't been across to Calais for a few years - daft as it's as close to me as London. Enjoy the English ale.
Jeff - I love the wide ribbon on that Dobbs.
AnA - The Beaver...
Thanks for the comments on the cap folks

Manfred - Lovely hat, but you remind me I've yet to add blue to my collection :)
AnA - Great Homburg
Eric - Whatever that Adam is called, and whatever the colour is, it's a great looking hat.
Andy -...
Here you go:
I'm trying to decide whether to go up to a 61. The 60 is definitely smaller than my campdraft 60, and whilst this isn't tight, I'll need to use the stretcher if it shrinks at all.
