    The only place I know of that is a specific hat shop is Lock and co in London http://www.lockhatters.co.uk/ Maybe someone more experienced knows of somewhere else.

    Akubra Overload

    My purchases from HD have always escaped import duty but I've had to pay VAT and Royal Mail's handling fee on all but one. Good luck!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I re shaped the brim on my akubra to be a bit less smiley! So a homburg day for me.

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    Good tip, thanks Fed. I admit that I do like the 'rough and ready' look of it how it is at the moment. I find it interesting how in a lot of old movies the hat bashes look really 'untidy' compared to how many are bashed these days.

    How often do you wear a hat?

    If I go out of the house there's a hat on my head. (as long as I'm not coming straight back in again after putting the bin out or something!) :D

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    Ok here are a couple of mine. My Campdraft, not sure if you'd call it a C, a teardrop or some kind of diamond bash. :eusa_doh: and my fed IV, a simple centre crease

    Absolutely timeless, classic, tasteful and conservative cufflinks?

    I wore french cuffs everyday to work for years and have returned to wearing them again this year with my return to some sort of proper dress-sense! Normal cuffs just feel so limp by comparison now. I have a couple of subtle novelty links but mine tend to be fairly subtle affairs - silver metal...

    The fed IV is a 'special' that you can only get from hats direct http://hatsdirect.com/federation/index.html As far as the quality of the felt, I'll confess to being a newby and so can't comment. It's an Akubra, so it's tough and everyone on here rates them as a great hat. Other than that I...

    Introduction

    Welcome, from not far north of you in rainy Cumbria! I've not been here very long myself and I've learnt so much just from reading the old threads. In fact I'd say that if you can't find the info here, you'll not find it anywhere. Careful though, before you know it you'll have more hats than...

    Thank you! I have always liked Jimmy Stewart, ever since I saw the Glenn Miller story as a little kid, agreed, he sure knew how to wear a hat! Lovely hat, thin ribbons are really looking good to me at the moment.

    Akubra Campdraft

    My recent fed iv is exactly the same. I just put it down to bouncing around in the box. I'd not given it much more thought 'til I saw your post. I'll have to give mine a brush and a bit of steam to see if it improves things.
