Wholeee Krahupp.

What I like most about this place is the use of supremely accurate technical terms to get the point across. It helps avoid all kinds of problems and misunderstandings....

Borsalino XXX Nutria Day!

Sweet lid, NewJack!

My new Fed IV, just got it this morning!
This is my third Akubra, but only the second that I currently own. I sold the first, a Bogart, to make this purchase.
So now I have this Fed IV and a Campdraft that I bought a couple of months ago.
I have to say, this Federation is WAAAAY softer than the Campdraft (both Imperial felt). It takes a shape much more easily and the feel of it is more like a vintage. I love the color (BGG) and style of the Campdraft, but this is a nicer lid.
Yes, I know I still have some work to do shaping this thing, lol! Just could now wait to show it off!

Looks good. How abt yer impressions? Is it a Deluxe Fed?

Borsalino XXX Nutria Day!

I regret that I have only one like to give this post. That's one of my faves, Jack.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Hey all!
Chilly day. Will wear this Tonak Seal Velour as long as the wind speed allows.

Sorry to hear about your friends, mmbarnes. I'm sending happy thoughts their way.
Have a great day!

Thanks Moe. Great looking Tonak. I dig it with the peacoat.

Levine Hat Co. This one came from fellow lounger Bretron. Some sad news this week from fellow loungers mmBarnes and blueAznmonkey. Prayers and thoughts your way from down south, fellas.

Smokin' hat. I love the wide ribbon.

Right on, Fed. Personally, I refuse to associate with anyone who isn't an excellent languagerer.

Why has no one hired you as a hat model?

 

[mayserwegener]

I would pay admission to get to look at your hats, Steve!

Just another extraordinary example. Thanks for sharing it with my eyeballs.

Matt, Belated Thanks! You are welcome to stop by and take a look free of charge.
Sorry about your friend.
Fantastic Stetson Premier Vita-Felt!

Haha! Thanks Bob.
So.....waiting on my invitation. Where is it? [emoji14]

When I saw this pic I immediately thought of Eric Powell's character 'The Goon'. Something about the way you're wearing it and the expression I guess. No offense intended - it's meant to be a compliment.

Mark, totally taken as a compliment.
I am familiar with the Goon.
I am honored.

Thanks Steve. And that would be a blast. I'm going to try to take you up on that one day.
Take it easy.

Fed IV Deluxe is a nice hat! Once you get around to steaming the bash, the felt opens up even more. One of my favorites!

Thanks, mmb!
I have found that most everything I wear goes well with the peacoat. Or at least in my mind...

It's Imperial Quality, but much softer than my Imperial Campdraft
