GCR's Hats

[GCR]

Being new I figured I'd share some pics of my current hats, but since I'm about as computer literate as a medium sized rock, I have been unsuccessful in posting them. So instead I created a photo album. As of right now, I've only got a few pics of my Akubra Fed. Deluxe, but I'll be adding more pics of this and other hats in my collection as time goes by. So check back and let me know what you think! Here's the link:

That's one awesome Fed ya got there. Did you shape it yourself? It's an excellent bash.

First off, I would like to formally welcome you to the group, I hope you like it and will make some new friends. You are on your way to having a great fedora collection. Both of you Indy style fedoras look great!:cool2:

Thanks for the compliments guys! As for Daryl's question, yes I did bash it myself, it's an Akubra Fed. Deluxe. It came open crown and I bashed it dry, without steam or cold water. The only moisture I used was my own breath to loosen the felt up just a hair in order to tighten up the front pinch. Same with the Indy Miller, it was the open crown variety and I bashed it dry, although you'd never know by looking at it now.

Wow, you did an excellent job. My fed deluxe doesn't look anywhere near that good.... Maybe one of my new hats will look good.
