ValEag, how wide is the brim on that Akubra fedora?
Are those your paintings?jec said:Here is a Dobbs Fifth Avenue I won on EBay last week. It arrived over the weekend, and after some cleaning and reshaping, I am wearing it in the studio today as it dries.
The felt on this one is stiffer and thicker than my older Stetsons (much heavier than the Lee Adventurer) and actually approaches my Akubra country hats in feel.
The brim is 2 1/4" wide, with a top-welted edge (did I phrase that right?). As I've bashed the crown, it is 4" at the crease up front, 4 1/4" in the back, and 4 3/4" on the side.
Any thoughts about its age? I have no clue.

If you EVER, EVER decide to part with this hat, please let me know! Fanstastic!Fletch said:

Hey ValEag...ValEag said:... I really wasn't expecting it until Tuesday or Wednesday so it was quite a surprise.
It seems a little darker to me than the pic on HD's website, almost more of a chocolate color to me, but I like it. ...

As for your Akubra Fedora, that looks close to the Dark Brown Fed I have.
I think you should order a Dark Brown Fed IV so you can post comparison pics for us.

jec said:Yes, Michaelshane - those are my paintings behind me.
I'll keep any eye out for you dooch. Don't be afraid to pick up just about any 7 1/4 and do the pork pie crease yourself. [huh]randooch said:The little lady next to me searches feverishly for a 7 1/4 porkpie to wear when we're out together.
