Post New Hats Here!
You look like you are enjoying the warm weather way too much! :mad: Nice hat though ;) -
The Frustration of the Less Than Perfectly Shaped Hat
Yes, you are correct. The hat, not me, gets center stage for this thread. ;) -
The Frustration of the Less Than Perfectly Shaped Hat
That was for this photo only. I don't normally wear it like that. -
The Frustration of the Less Than Perfectly Shaped Hat
I don't think it would be fair for me to make that judgment, as I would probably be somewhat biased. [huh] lol -
The Frustration of the Less Than Perfectly Shaped Hat
:eek: What do you mean just hats?! Among other things, I've heard they even have internet forums devoted to the wearing of them! :D -

The Frustration of the Less Than Perfectly Shaped Hat
Hi, my name is Mustang ( honestly:o ;) :D ), and I admit...I have a problem (the first step, right?). I'm a perfectionist. I stopped wearing cowboy hats awhile ago because of it, and now it's rearing its ugly head again. I've bought two fedoras so far. The first one being the Akubra Sydney. Now... -
Post New Hats Here!
As others have said... BRANDX, that is some beautiful photography! I can appreciate how much time, effort, patience, and knowledge is required to get those results. :eusa_clap. The hat companies should be hiring you to photograph their hats...seriously! -
Post New Hats Here!
Carbon Grey Akubra Federation And here's the crease (The carbon grey is a very dark grey. This photo shows shows, quite accurately, how dark the hat actually is): I plan on changing it to a diamond crease. I was wearing this hat the other day when I took the kids to McDonald's... -
Just Ordered...My SECOND Fedora! (Carbon Grey Akubra Federation)
I'm going to lower the brim some more Oh, and just in case you're wondering...no, our house isn't tilted. :eusa_doh: lol Here's the crease (I think this photo represents how dark the hat is quite well, although the color is off. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it will look... -
Just Ordered...My SECOND Fedora! (Carbon Grey Akubra Federation)
My hat arrived yesterday. Here are my first impressions. Mostly as it relates to my first fedora...an Akubra Sydney: 1. The felt is considerably stiffer in comparison to the Sydney. It is similar to the cowboy hats I used to wear. Although I like how soft the Sydney is, having to constantly... -

Post New Hats Here!
I would also like to chime in with my two cents worth. I also see this as a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It has however, created problems of its own. [huh] shakeshead -
Stylemaster---My First Dress Fedora! (Pics)
:eusa_clap You've got a very nice looking lid there. The crown on the Stylemaster comes preformed, right? -
Making my own hat

Plastic Liner: Considering Removal
Glad to help ;). I can imagine the plastic would be intolerable on a shaved and/or bald head. I was going to use a razor blade, but luckily I couldn't find one. I'm sure I would have sliced the liner itself if I would have. The finely pointed scissors worked very well. -

Plastic Liner: Considering Removal
:eusa_doh: :o OK...I did it! I'm not ambitious enough to remove the liner, so I just used scissors and carefully cut the plastic out next where it was sown in. I'm sure some of you will cringe at the less than perfect results, but I'm pleased: -
New Model Federation?
Same here. I really like that color too. I'm having a difficult time convincing my wife that $300 is a reasonable amount to pay for a custom hat :cry:. I have a Carbon Grey Federation making its first and last spring migration...on its way from Australia. Depending on how I like that one, I'll... -

Plastic Liner: Considering Removal
I don't intend to remove the entire liner, only the plastic. -
Plastic Liner: Considering Removal
I have an Akubra Sydney and never paid much attention until recently to the fact that the top part of the liner is plastic. From what I can tell most hats come that way. Is there a good reason for me to keep the plastic in place? And what is the reason hat companies use plastic? All I know is...
