I think sometimes it's a trick of the light. The bash looks uneven because of the way the light catches the dimple on one side rather more than the other.
It used to bother me, but these days I figure that if it is uneven then it's just adding a bit of character.
I don't think there's anyone left in the UK who could/would do that sort of work. Or at least not for the amount I'd want to pay!
The whole hat 'scene' appears much better for that sort of thing, at least from this side of the pond.
Your memory is correct and it inspired me to buy one myself. It funny though, I look at pictures of Homburgs and love the look of them on others but don't enjoy my Akubra homburg as much as my feds. I think it's because the brim is much shorter. I've flattened the brim on my Akubra homburg but...
The campdrafts are a tall hat in comparison. Thats one of the reasons for going for a C crown bash on mine. It just brings the height down more. It was very obvious when I did a C crown on my black Fed. It just seemed like so much less felt to work with.
The ribbon work on the Campdraft does...
I've got a centre crease in my Moonstone Fed and a C-crease in my Campdraft.
Such a versatile colour, goes with anything. I'm about to go out in my Fed today.
Great pair o' lids there.:thumb:
A great pair of Moonstones there, Ginseng!
While I have had a little hiccup with HD in the past, Trudi was excellent and I would say their customer service is amazing in this day and age.
They say that you only know how good a business is when there is a problem and based on my experience and...

The moonstone is a great colour, but I really like the fawn. It's kind of a halfway to Silverbelly kind of colour to me. I think it's a warmer colour too.
Having said that I've got a Campdraft and a Fed in moonstone:D
Bob - both my Fed and Campdraft arrived this week (from OZ to UK) without...
Not wanting to upset people in the campdraft thread I thought it'd be better to post here!
My new Campdraft conversion
and
my new black Fed IV with a new ribbon and bow
Great hats as usual everyone.
I haven't posted on here for a while, but I always check by for a look at what you sharp gents are wearing.
I had to road test my recent acquisitions, so for me a two hat day!
Firstly my new black Fed IV with a new burgundy ribbon and bow. A trip to the shops...
I saw someone else do a conversion on a silverbelly campdraft and I really liked it so I splashed out and went for it!
My second attempt at a ribbon and bow, my first being about an hour before on my new Fed IV!
I'm pleased with it :p
I trimmed the brim down to 60mm too to give it more...
Two lovely boxes arrived from the lovely Trudi today:D
The cats were intrigued
A Fed IV in black and a Campdraft in silverbelly, prime for ribbon swaps:eeek:
