The Fedora Lounge guide to Sheeplined Coats
Let's revive this thread because shearling mackinaws coats are one of the best rugged classic outwear every man can wear. Here is an example of mine, Yugoslavian 50s-60s sheepskin lined canvas coat with atypical point collar, would prefer shawl one but still does superb job for the dreary weather!- Aleksio

Usa Army Fishtail Parka M 1951 Korea verify
Hello, my dear fedoristas, I would like to buy this parka, but I am not so knowledgeable about M51-M65 fishtail parkas, so I'd like to know if it's genuine military piece? I am aware that the hood lining is from original M65, that fur is real, and the lining is mohair freeze and not alpaca. See...- Aleksio

Akubra Campdraft
One more question, how do you change at the point front and back pinch? Do you just push it up and down till you reach your desired height, and how much space should it be left inside the crown for your head? As I know the head shouldn't touch the tip of the crown if I am correct? -

Akubra Campdraft
Yes I am aware Heston hat is shorter on the brim than Campdraft and that's not bothering me, my main thing was if 5 1/2 would be tall enough for that kind of rake and from your answer I am now confident it will be. Thanks for the shared knowledge :) -
First time buying fedora and introducing myself
No, I didn't. I am aware that the shape of the head can be round oval, regular oval and oblong oval, but what would be the best way to determine the shape and, as far as I know, do not all hats today have a regular oval shape? -
Akubra Campdraft
Thanks man, would 5 1/2 inch crown be enough tall to make that kind of slant from front to back from your experience? So if I understand correctly, once I would make bash like that on a photo it would be much harder to change in to more even side profile. One more thing, is then not recommended... -

OK, I see now, but why are there some centre dent crown so tapered on the front like almost going in cone/pyramid shape on top and the others are much more squarish like yours for example? What's the sizing, I have 60,5cm head circumference, should I take 61? -

It looks fabulous once again, very sharp looking. What bash do you used on the photo? -

Akubra Campdraft
Thanks mate, appreciate the info. What about let's say I dry shape it to teardrop, and then I steam it to solidify it and after few months I choose to reshape it to centre dent, would that be plausible and is that even advisable because I read it's not recommended to shape it several times? -
Akubra Campdraft
So I ordered Campdraft, still waiting to come and from what I read some folks here prefer water spraying and others prefer steam. I'm not sure which one should be better or easier on the hat? On an Akubra official site, they recommend steaming it. Could I dry bash it without the spidering of... -
Akubra Campdraft
I am between CampdractCampdraft and Fed IV Deluxe, which one would you recommend for a first hat, and what are the main differences you experienced wearing them? -
First time buying fedora and introducing myself
Nice colour, French navy if I recall correct? Good-looking hat, love the thick ribbon. Do you maybe know what's the thickness of it? Will definitely be on a bucket list after the Akubra CD.
