In this case and similar ones (such as me) I think weakness should be considered a virtue. :D I'm so tempted to pull the trigger on a moonstone Fed! You guys are killing me, ordering all these hats! :eek:
Nice, Dee. I kind of like the thin ribbon. I'm liking thin ribbons more and more. I like the looks of your Cattleman too, Dr S
Lots of nice looking Akubras, gentlemen and lady.
I'm so glad to know I have company in my "misery". Sounds like you may want to add your UPS person to YOUR Christmas list. And don't forget your mail carrier. :D
This one's an interesting hat. Looks nice and I like the color. I hadn't heard of Strand Hatters before either. Is it imperial quality or heritage quallity felt?
I just checked Hatsdirect and the Fed Deluxe IV is at $110 and change this morning.
My Campdraft is shaping pretty well to my long oval head by now. When it was new I thought about putting on a jack for a day or two but wearing it has done the trick anyway.
I bought my Fed a size too big, so I snug it up with the foam Hatsdirect sends along. Anyone ever bought any like that...
I can't see any green in the hat. I can sort of see a little bit of green in the picture I posted, but it's the light I'm sure. The hat is what I'd call a mid brown, I guess.
Here are my Akubras to add to this thread. The first is my newest, a silverbelly Campdraft.
My second is a Federation Deluxe IV in heritage fawn.
I also had a moonstone Stylemaster which I sold to a lounge member. Perhaps he would like to post his Akubra here too. The...
Yes and yes. I bought another one too from a lounge member because I'm weak. You know what I mean, don't you? This one's a 60's Resistol (another thin ribbon, Russ)
VERY BIG CONGRATULATIONS, Art! Those grandsons will excite you right away. I have two of them and I've never, ever been called anything that compared to PaPa.
:eusa_doh: :eusa_doh: lol lol lol Thanks, Bart, I appreciate all the help. I'm off Friday....maybe I'll get lucky.
I can't wait to see it either. Art said something about e-mailing me pictures of the hat with two or three different ribbons, but then we decided that he was handling it so I...
Sounds good to me. I haven't seen hide nor hair of what it's going to look like. I just know that I'm getting a granite Sportaire. Art suggested I let him run with this first one and that's what I did. I'm about to bust.
Pictures Saturday, SP, if it's here. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
I've been wanting to get a moonstone Fed Deluxe IV, but, man, I am neck deep in hat orders now that I'm gonna have to pay for sooner or later. I'm really tempted...i hate to pass up a deal like that, but my wife is going to start having cows pretty soon.
It's easy to crease a hat, Sean, especially a Federation. The hat lends itself very well to a center dent, and if you bash it and don't like it just push it back to an open crown and start again.
I got a PayPal request from Art today and a notice from USPS that mine is in the mail. Art wrote that he hopes I like it. I know I will. How long do you think it'll take to get here from Oregon?
Now that, sir, is a beautiful thing! Beautiful lid, fine looking bash.....let's see your face under that snapped brim? Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. lol lol lol
