    Your evaluation of this hat please

    I should add that while I was pretty disappointed and expressed such to Trudi, she was professional and accommodating. That's enough to earn another chance at my business.

    Your evaluation of this hat please

    I've contacted Trudi and she told me to send it back for a replacement. I really like my other Fed IVDel and I'd love one in this color and I have expressed that I'd like a replacement rather than a refund. Trudi has taken care of me in the past. I just can't fathom how a hat like this 1) gets...

    Your evaluation of this hat please

    It is much floppier than the other Fed IV Deluxe which I also purchased from Hats Direct. I haven't done anything to the sweatband. The hat as it looks is exactly as received. The shipping box was undamaged. Yes, the taper was worrying to me. My other CD and Fed arrived straight as an arrow...

    Your evaluation of this hat please

    What do you think of the wrinkled sweatband? All the hats I've bought have been new and all of them have smooth sweats. This one is wrinkled through to the backside. It is indeed a Fed IV Deluxe. Unlike the dark brown one I have, the felt is much softer from the brim to the crown. More like...

    Bradley Whitford's Fedora at the Emmys

    Nicely done, Zombie. The straight sides look much better on him. It adds visual interest and reflects his strong jaw line about the balance point at the bridge of his glasses.

    A Special Black Sheep Tribute to My Father

    Thank you for the continued kind words. Lest you all think I'm a very serious person who made a very serious tribute to a very serious dad, here is a photo of me taken today while the family was out for lunch and coffee. My dad loved food and we had many a fine conversation over coffee and...

    Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

    Brilliant photos, gents! I've been inspired. I took my family to Hawaii this summer and had occasion to bring my Campdraft Deluxe for daily wear. While there, I picked up a few nice Hawaiian shirts. Here is a photo taken today while we were out for lunch and coffee. I'm wearing the tribute...

    A Special Black Sheep Tribute to My Father

    Thank you, everyone, for the kind words. The entire process from conception to completion was a great experience. I can't say enough good things about how Bob completely listens to your ideas, even some goofy ones, and provides options to make them better, more harmonious, better integrated...

    A Special Black Sheep Tribute to My Father

    Folks, My father had been ill and passed earlier this year. Over the next few months, I looked for a way to remember and remind myself of what a man is and can be and of who he was and the legacy left to me. There have been numerous hats made for the future generations but fewer commemorating...
