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
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...
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.
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...
+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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
