    Akubra Campdraft

    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

    Akubra Campdraft

    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.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    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.

    Hat wearing has been tempered severely by new job

    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.

    Akubra Sydney: A Review

    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?

    Shapeable homburg other than Akubra's?

    You can probably reshape the brim to a degree with a little steam if you wanted a slightly flatter profile from the front.

    Bound brim on Fed IV?

    I think for the cost of getting it done you might as well order a Squatter with a ready bound brim.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    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.
