    Hat Flap??? Anyone tried?

    "Easily fits behind your sweatband, without making your hat tighter." Wow, must be magic.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Fed IV. I played with the bash today because I wasn't pleased with the shape. Now I'm totally pleased with it.

    Looks too low to be a Fed IV; it could be a Stylemaster.

    I agree.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    They come open crown so the wearer can shape it himself.

    That looks great! I like the teardrop telescope crease it came with because it's different, but the proportions didn't look right. It looks way better now. Nice job!

    The mailman delivered a new moonstone Fed IV a little while ago. It seemed to call out for a more devil-may-care crease befitting its '30's styling, so I gave it a quick diamond bash and then sprayed it with a little distilled water and let it dry to help it set.

    That Boxy Look

    You can have it blocked, or you can "bash" it or crease it yourself. Here's a video that Dinerman posted where he "bashes" a fedora in about 7 seconds. http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j164/dinerman/?action=view&current=MVI_3191.flv Self-creasing is more authentic if you're looking for a...

    That Boxy Look

    Two words: Stetson Nostalgia. Usually available for less than $150. A couple of us got ours recently from the HatCo/Stetson Outlet store for $99.95. It's open crown so you shape it yourself (although the lady at the outlet did offer to have them crease it for me). The felt is very soft and...

    Jaxson 'Bogie' Ordered

    That's a good looking hat. I love grey hats and that's one of the most attractive shades.
