My First Attempt at Making a Fedora.
Jeff, I started with a fur felt dress body from Winchester. I don't know a whole lot about how to do this so I soaked it in very hot water and blocked it on a plastic Hat Shaper. When it was dry, I trimmed the brim. The brim, in my mind, is the weakest part. It is quite uneven. I sanded it for...- DarrelMorris

My First Attempt at Making a Fedora.
This is my first attempt at making a fedora. It was blocked on a 5 1/2" Hat Shaper and the brim was cut by hand as well since I don't own a rounding jack.

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I'm sorry I didn't take any in process photos. It started out as a fur felt blank from Winchester. I blocked it on a 5 1/2" tall plastic dome Hat Shaper.- DarrelMorris

I'm still working on fedora blocks so I'm wearing my homemade "modified bowler" today. It's a bit snug at the moment, but it will adjust as it warms up.- DarrelMorris
