Days in the forest. Akubra FederationIV for me today. Diamond Crease.

Nice! If you would have told me it was a vintage Dobbs or Stetson I would have believed it. One of the nicest Fed IVs I’ve seen.

It’s a well-established fact that women look better in men’s hats than men do.

That’s a great black fedora! Love the WAR too.

Nothing says late 1950s like a pork pie back bow Stetson! This old Royal DeLuxe (high end model) Stetson has all the bells and whistles of a fine men's hat that was in style from about 1955 through 1959. I am putting away the summer straws and getting out my winter felts, the first box I opened had all my back bow hats, so I had to give them a spin this weekend. Yesterday, the Saturday Farmer's Market saw a Lee Hats version of this style. Could not resist a photo with a huge pumpkin in an old VW Bus!

Windy weekend called for the aerodynamic Knox derby and some dynamic Happy socks for the clicks and cliques:

Looks good Erehwon, though the lighting probably doesn't do it justice.
The diamond crease is a hard one to do depending on the felt. I'm no expert, but your first try pasts the muster for me

Thank you, sir!

It is the tawny fawn. On akubra, I only owned the heritage quality so far. This is my first imperial quality hat from them. Way much stiffer. I personally don't like this fact so much, but it's a great outdoor hat tough.

Nice looking lid. Don’t see many in that colour. Great work on the diamond crown as well. I have a Squatter I put a diamond in and I had to give it a hit of water to help it stay. Don’t worry, with wear the felt will soften up. Rain and snow help that as well. I still look forward to going for a walk in the rain while wearing an Akubra.
Wear it in good health my friend

Hahaha Well I think all of us looks better by wearing a hat!

Mmmm i'm a hatlover, but don't have this Fed IV (yet) ;-)

Me, neither, but it’s near the top of my wish list!

Hopefully, it is enough diamond for you guys. Was my first try on a diamond crease.

Looks good to me. I want a Fed IV, but I’ve never had an open crown before. The whole do your own bash thing is a bit intimidating, but I expect to give it a go at some stage next year.
