    Looking good, ManofKent, amazing how that color changes with the lighting. Last shots make it appear to have adapted to British weather. Happy birthday btw, and may I say TFL members wives seem to take great care of their hubbies! :D

    Western, anyone?

    Promised some pics, here they are. You guys are driving me crazy, I used to own one hat, and now I have five and an 8 panel cap, and thinking about buying more :eusa_doh:(I know, ain't no big thing compared to many of you). I sure wouldn't have dreamed of reshaping a hat like that a while ago...

    Introduction

    Welcome to the Lounge, and kudos for wearing that 80's movie type hat with a name like Jones. :D

    Western, anyone?

    My western hat, now mostly for stage use. Used to wear that thing every dy to work. Always disliked the crease on this one, so after someone posted a vid of Roy Rogers shaping his son's hat, I changed it quite radically. I'll post some pics later.

    The Curse of Indiana Jones

    I had some polite questions today about my gas mask bag and leather coat (is that a Wested jacket?). Since he nefariously neglected to ask about the brown Fed IV, I bullwhipped the hell out of him and escaped the police galloping away on my horse screaming "It belongs in a museum!". True...

    Help me date this? It's a Brooks Brothers hat I got off ebay. I'd actually bid on a Stetson 3X Stingy, Olive Green, in a size 7. Wanted to buy it for my son (he's 9), because it's better and cheaper than a store-bought wool felt. I won the auction (cheap :D) , and got this hat (dark brown...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    That looks like one of those walkways in the Pterodactyl cage in Jurassic Park III. A great backdrop for an Indy hat. :D

    Too short a brim or am I overthinking it?

    First one looks great and absolutely natural for you. Not so sure about the second one, though it's an absolutely beautiful lid.

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    +1 on that. Some people seem to think they're entitled to an opinion on how anyone else looks, then go ahead and voice that opinion and/or place the subject in an immovable category = judging a complex individual just from one glance at what is maybe 1% of his wardrobe. Sounds like just the...

    That hat looks smashingly fine to me.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Back from holiday and have been wearing my brow Fed IV a lot. Haven't noticed any shrinking, but it feels better and better on my head. My grey one, which stayed at home and which was a tad bigger than the brown now for some reason feels too tight with the foam added, so I took most of it out...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    That's nice! I got burned on mine: 103 €...of which 30 was described as "formalities"...filthy little thieveses. With the shipping cost, that comes up to 200 € per hat, about 265 USD...If I'd known beforehand, I'd have bought only one, so its good I didn't know. :D Good thing all those taxes...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Hats got here yesterday. The box looked gnarly. Everything ok inside. Open crown. One bashed. Done. These were easy to bash with some steam. There's a little difference in size between the grey and brown one. I had to use some of the padding they came with on the grey one, not...

    Fedoras afield

    It was a birthday present from my wife two years ago, my first trip to a real hat shop here in the centre of Brussels, and the only fedora there that looked right on me. The shop owner, who is in his eighties, and a third generation hatter, got it out of the back of an antique closet (the whole...
