    South Africaner Fedora

    If I can shape it as in this photo, I'll be a happy camper.

    South Africaner Fedora

    I don't want all of the stress look that Winston posted of his, just some of it, just the shape on the crown is what I want. The stress limit will come from breaking it in.

    South Africaner Fedora

    The left one does have the band but both have the crown shape I'll be trying to duplicate. I tried to get that shape on a Cooper Petty but didn't quite get it to becaue of the preformed crown and trying to re-shape it exactly was unsuccessful.

    South Africaner Fedora

    For the better part of ten years or more, I've been trying to find a fedora like the two in this youtube video or one that I can shape myself. I think hopefully I've found the fedora I just ordered from Akubra Federation IV Deluxe. Here is the video in it's original form so unless you can...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    BTW, do they still put in any nice extras? I got a nice croc key ring before and I still use it, over ten years old now.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Thanks for that undated info. I couldn't remember how long it took to get my other Akubras, it's been awhile. I spent three hours deciding...…….on the IV Deluxe, it had the raw edge that I like so well.

    Stingy brims???

    This thread has gone from "stingy" to "peaky" to "ten gals" to "fedora" to "bowler". Let's talk "Pork Pie", it will get some people in the mood for dinner. ;)

    This thread has become quite 'edgemakationul'. :D

    Stingy brims???

    A Bowler???? Why, because it looked like a bowling ball or the guy who wore it was a bowler? Name beginnings....maybe a reason for a whole new thread or is there such a thread already?

    Stingy brims???

    As in, many of the colonist wording that still exist today but just spelled different.

    Stingy brims???

    I remember seeing guys like him hanging out on skid row years ago!!! Seems they all had fedoras....or maybe that was the bread line back during the Depression!!! :D

    Stingy brims???

    Newsboy, Gatsby, Big Apple and the new term on the block is Peaky Blinders. Speaking of Peaky Blinders, anyone know when the next season starts, I'm now watching all the previous episodes for the third time?

    Stingy brims???

    I was hoping this thread would last a bit longer to pass time but you have brought it to an end. For that, dinner is on me at Delmonico's if we ever meet up there. Wear your Fedora so I'll recognize you. I'll be the kid in a Peaky Blinders selling Grit outside. Everyone else I'm sure will be in...

    Stingy brims???

    Not in the US or GB. It was a French play that eventually went world wide after 1882. I don't think any fashion from France would have made it to the US or GB before it appeared in the US or GB.

    Stingy brims???

    but when was is recognized as a "fedora"?
  22. 31 Model A

    Stingy brims???

    From the link to the Stetson catalogue, what we would consider a Fedora, was called a "Flange hat". Since we've moved on from the description "stingy" to "fedora", the saga continues.:D

    Stingy brims???

    Fedoras as a "Fedora" or a style/shape that originated into a "fedora"
