    What are you wearing on Felt Hat Day?

    (Sorry for the bad lighting and picture quality - self pic done on a cell phone.) But this is my re-bashed/re-creased Akubra Stylemaster, mid grey. rrog

    Is the "Perfect" bash important?

    Once I get it how I want it, that's exactly what I do too. rrog

    Musicians?

    I'd love to find someone who enjoyed hanging out and doing that. At this stage in my life, it's really a pleasure to sit down and just play for fun. I had a buddy in college who liked to sit around and play Amsdens; we played the Arban's duets a lot too. My wife and I will occasionally play...

    Musicians?

    I'm thankful for the choir grunts! And I gotta say, there aren't many people in my choir who know what "polyphonic" means. I've used the term a few times over the years and I usually get the "huh?" stare. Of course, I usually use the term facetiously when the tenors are completely out of tune...

    Musicians?

    An old thread has been revived, so I'll add my two cents worth. I've played trumpet for 34 years now: school, Marine Drum & Bugle Corps, college (majored in trumpet performance) and semi-pro. As an associate pastor in a local church I'm responsible for all music. We do a full-fledged...

    Roninjedi, you're going to really like that hat. I just got one in the same color. It's my second Fed IV and I'm looking forward to getting my third, in the not-too-distant future. Of course, we'll need pics when you get it. rrog

    Too much damage?

    You're right John. I'm trying something a little different. For whatever the reason, when I wear a hat, it seems as though it just sits on my head a lot lower in the back than most other people's hats fit on their heads. It's probably just my perception or paranoia, but I thought I'd try to...

    Too much damage?

    The rusults... Here are the results of my repair job. I'm still working out the bash in general, but I'm happy with how the folds/creases came out. It took about 15 minutes of a little steam and pressure with my fingers. The bash took about another 15-20 minutes of working on it, going to...

    Too much damage?

    Update Here's the deal. I emailed Jenny at hatsdirect and she advised me to try to steam out the creases. If I can't get them out to my satisfaction, they'll send another hat. No mention was made as to who would pay shipping. I went ahead and contacted them because I know they have a policy...

    Too much damage?

    I ordered a moonstone Fed IV from hatsdirect.com. It came today. I immediately saw the box had been crushed and re-covered with extra tape. I opened the box and sure enough, the hat was crushed on one side. I've added the pictures below but my question is, should I contact hatsdirect to send...
