Greetings Scottyrocks:
Ha, wondered what happened. I can tell you it’s a Dobbs Forty, way old, some of the best felt i felt. Ha. Color: i’ll show you but tan, copper ribbon. Talk to Tim, Alley Kat, he just made a clone of one for a friend. Is posted in that thread. Thanks for the interest. Be well. Bowen
Ps: color looks true here.

Pss: think i screwed it up too. Leaving well enough alone! B

WOah! Thats a beautiful crown! That felt looks amazing too.

I purchased my first really vintage hat a few months ago and left the Akubra FED IV behind while on my trip to Australia....

Just arrived back to it and we went out for a walk today in the rain.

Boy, I like this hat! Even after wearing the 3X Stetson for the last few months, there’s still some special feeling I have for the FED IV.

I left in 1981 after high school graduation when I joined the Marine Corps. After my enlistment I moved to the Dallas / Fort Worth area. Met my wife and have been here since. Although, as I get closer to retirement I contemplate moving back home.
I have the same kind of nostalgia for the DC area, where I grew up. Though I know that I won't head back there. Too busy.

If you ever head back this way. We will have to hang out and rant about hats. 'Twould be a hoot.

I can understand why. It just screams "life is an adventure". And it looks great on you.

My 3X came in pristine white condition, absolutely beautiful even for a new hat let alone one that’s over a half-decade old. Now it’s got a dark stain from some runoff water during a sudden downpour and I’ve definitely learned to appreciate the adventure of a “beater”!

Another late post. Got caught in the slush on the way home. Bad pictures.

Hope you survived the slushing, D. You look in fine form to navigate through it.

Cool Hat and sweater combo. Looking great, Michael!
Thank you sir. I'm never sure if that sweater is actually a sweater or if it's a coat. Both the hat and sweater are very comfortable on a chilly late winter day.

Thanks,
Michael
