    Akubra Campdraft

    Im sorry to make you worry. It just seems like two worlds compared to the other fedoras I've owned. Stetson Royals, Modern Day Borsalinos like the Alessandria. Yeah I have seen some CD’s with rumpled felt from forming it but from the tips to use water and steam might do the trick for a smoother...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Yeah I understand about not wanting to spray it with anything. I always want l d a hat to be as is and not have a worry about adjusting it. Yeaah Ive been liking that down back and down front look lately to. I like how my Borsalino can be beaten up and reformed fast. The askubras felt seems...

    Akubra Campdraft

    Thanks Regan for the reasuring words it helps a lot really, I never owned an Akubura before. I just did a light pat down of the crown and a pinch to see the look of the hat and get a feel of the felt. I will give all you recomendations a shot. Would you ever use stiffiner on your brim? Ive never...

    Akubra Campdraft

    I recieved my Akubra Campdraft in Bluegrass green today. I ordered a size 57. Its a tad big, it falls to the tops of my ears, but everyone says the sweatband will shrink in time. The hat is kinda stiff. Like cardboard. I put the brim down and it pops back up on its own. Im used to my Borsalino...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Are there any photo comparisons of the Herotage Fawn & Dark Brown? I wasn’t sure which color was closest to Indys in Raiders.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I like how the turn gives it an asymetrical look.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Ohh I just realized theres no reason to remove the ribon its just all about the turn! Lol I just need to rotate the hat a bit an dgive it the bash, and the ribbon will shifted closer. Im so obsessing over this hat. Looking at all photos of ever hat. The price is just excellent. I think i will...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Yes, I was looking at diagrams of how much the hat was turned, maybe for Ford to keep it snug on his head for all the action scenes? All that needs to be done would be to unstitch the tacs? The ribon wont come apart?

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Is the Hat band sewn to the hat? Would I be able to shift it over more towards the front of the hat so I can do the Indy Turn?

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I agree there prices are greed. Always be that way. I had the Herbert Johnson Poet Factory made hat. Im not sure if that brim was shorter? Maybe because that Herbert Johnson Poet reminded me a lot of the Last crusade fedora. Yeah, Im a 57 size. Its always a gamble. I never owned one...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Yes the FedIV reminded me of my poet but without the pretentious price tag. I like that the FedIV brim is a tad bigger. I always thought the Poets Brim was a tad short. Thanks guys for all your own personal experiences with your FedIV. How everyone wears and bashes theres looks fantastic. Is...

    Akubra Campdraft

    I dont think Im a long oval. I guess I will find out when my Campdraft bluegrass arrives. I ordered a 57. I want to get a hat stretcher as well, thats a great idea. Id love to have my own block incase my hat tappers.

    Akubra Campdraft

    Yes, I am actually visiting Belgium and thought now was the time to give the Australian brand a chance since shipping will be easier. I always has trouble with the fit of fedoras. I had a factory herbert Johnson Poet size 57 but it was to snug and I didn’t like the look on me so much. I like the...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I had vintage stetson royals with such confortable sweatbands, and I own a Modern day Borsalino Alessandria and its sweatband isn’t pleasant to wear at all. The stitching is rough and the leather sweat band is so flat around the sweatband that its so flat against my head unlike the Stetson...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I was reading from a youtube review that “the Deluxe is made with fur from a rabbits undercarriage/breast and is maybe 5 to 10% softer and it also has a slightly deeper sweatband than the Fed IV and the lining is also White saturn like Indys.”

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Thanks guys! Im lovin the look of the Fed IV. Has anyone made it look like the Streets of Cairo look? With the Indy Turn? Anyone think the Imperial is a softer Fedora than the Deluxe?

    Akubra Campdraft

    The Brotherhood is great, its very much appreciated. Ive been researching a lot before I made my purchase, how the production of the hats change as time rolls on.. I wasn't sure if the size had changed over the years, from customers needing to order a size up, to the felt needing to be sanded...
