    That's a really nice hat! Do all stylemasters come with that red lining or did you special order it? /Niels

    First hat and first bash. How am I doing?

    I had a look at the brand name hats on display in the window. I reckon 1500DKK (approx. 295USD) would be for one of his cheap hats. I didn't have a look inside :)

    An online shop where NOT to buy...

    I thought i would bump this thread, since I have recently made a purchase from hatshopping.com and had a very different experience. I didn't have any trouble with regards to communication. I was promtly e-mailed an order confirmation, and was also advised when the order was a week delayed and...

    Need Help! Stylemaster or Federation??

    Thanks Carter. I have the same head measurement, and I was looking at the Stylemaster as a possible new hat. It sounds like some other model might look better.

    Need Help! Stylemaster or Federation??

    If you give the Fed a c-crown you can fold it down to be quite low, if you wish. Carter, why do you recommend the Fed over the Stylemaster? (I am asking out of interest).

    First hat and first bash. How am I doing?

    Yes it did. But even with this added I would still call this hat excellent value for money when compared to the offerings in the same price range from Copenhagen department stores such as Magasin or Illum. Best, Niels

    First hat and first bash. How am I doing?

    It's a size 61. I ended up folding the crown down quite a bit, so maybe that gives it the effect of looking shorter. Oh, and sorry for being a bit late with a reply. I changed the e-mail address in my profile and that made me unable to post for a while. Best, Niels

    First hat and first bash. How am I doing?

    The hat arrived in just five days with not a single mark on the hat or the box. The mortar round treatment must be a special service supplied by the US postal service :-) /Niels

    First hat and first bash. How am I doing?

    Thanks guys. I haven't worn a proper hat before so I really appreciate your comments. It does make me more confident that people in the know have approved the look before I set foot out the door. The hat was ordered from Hatsdirect and their service was excellent. I also received their e-mail...

    First hat and first bash. How am I doing?

    Thanks guys! Indycop: I started by trying to do a diamond crease as shown in Dinerman's video in the hat creases thread. From there I kept fiddling with it (lowering the crown more and more and smoothing things out) until it looked right in the mirror. /Niels

    First hat and first bash. How am I doing?

    Hello everyone! My first proper hat arrived this morning (yay!). It's a grey Akubra Federation, which I ordered after reading the many good reports on it from users on this forum. It was delivered from Oz in only five days -- that's what I call fast! Just out of the box: After playing...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Just to say hi ... Hello everyone I just came across this site a few days ago (while searching the web for that first fedora) and have been spending quite some time browsing through all the excellent threads in the different forums. This looks like a great site with some very knowledgeable...
