FedoraFest IV

[The Wiser Hatter]

Bill I told you, that you had the biggest grin on your face when you first put your hat on for the first time.

Just about the time this photo was made...
I looked at Bills smile and said...
.
"You have always wanted that hat havent you?"

Bill said...

"Yes''

I said...

''Clint Eastwood''

Then we both smiled.


That... is... what... FedoraFest is about.


Bill I am glad I shared that moment with you.

Sure is Rusty.

Sorry on the randy Rusty I was dealing with the picture showing upside down. Must have it the wrong key.
I hate when that happens.

Now this picture came out burry and bill would not pose for me and Randy like Josh did.
But here it is anyway.

Who the hell is Randy?

Sometimes Mike calles me Rocky... but Rocky has a brother named Rusty.

And that is only after we have had a few!

Josh working on his hat.

What is Josh's forum name? I'd like to know the specs of that natural straw!

Me too Rusty! Yet another great memory from a FedoraFest. Hopefully we'll have many next year at the FedoraMidwestFest.

You guys are having a great time there!

I have noticed that both hand and sander were used to pounce the hat. Can someone elaborate on the techniques used?
I tried to sand some of my Akubras, but the result was sort of O.K.
I did follow instructions going from medium, to finer grain sandpaper and by hand it was VERY tedious. Result was not impressive, maybe just slightly better than the factory.

Josh's hat was a vintage Milan that he changed from a pork pie to a fedora style.

Thanks for posting the great photos in this thread guys - looks as though FF IV was a great success.

Chicago next year? That would be much easier for me...
