Akubra Stylemaster thoughts and opinions
I thought a Whippet was only around $175 USD, which is around £125. The major reason I don't want to get a hat from the US is that I got badly burned by that last time having to pay import duty and way too much for shipping. -

Akubra Stylemaster thoughts and opinions
So I've kind of gotten the hat bug now, and for my next purchase I'm looking at something a bit more conservative, so I thought the Akubra Stylemaster might be a good one to try out. How do people rate it? The other question is, should I branch out and buy other brands, like maybe a Stetson... -

Question about the Raiders brim
Yeah, interestingly enough, because my Fed 4 is in moonstone, even though I put a pretty much bang on Raiders bash in it, including the turn, people tell me it makes me look like a Mafia boss. I just think the grey colour looks really smart, and goes extremely well with a good shirt and tie... -

Question about the Raiders brim
Yeah, I hear what you're saying, I'm just not sure how one is supposed to wear a fedora. I find it most comfortable with the brim a little above the ears and the crown almost touching my head, but not quite. I'm just wondering if it should be that deep, or should it sit with a bit more space... -

Question about the Raiders brim
Ok, but the thing is I put a dent in that's 4.5 inches at the front and 4 inches at the back. I didn't make it especially deep, but it seems to have sunk in on its own. So how would I make it shallower without raising the height of the crown at the front and rear? -

Question about the Raiders brim
I have a question though. Why is it that Harrison Ford can have his hat so that it's almost touching his ear, but the centre dent in my hat touches the top of my head way before it gets that deep? I have to wear it quite high up on my head to avoid that. -

Question about the Raiders brim
Alright, thanks for that. I appreciate it. I just really love that kind of droopy style brim that he has. Thanks again though. -

Question about the Raiders brim
Yes, I've watched it loads of times. He said it's because his hat got wet which made it droop really badly. Is that all it was? -

Question about the Raiders brim
Ok great, but that still doesn't answer my question, which is how he got the rear brim to droop so much in the Cairo hat. -

Ok, but what if I can't afford a Penman Raiders hat? -

Question about the Raiders brim
The other threads I made were about the DM Akubra Adventurer. I thought the Fed 4 was designed to look like the Raiders hat. -

Question about the Raiders brim
What I'm confused about is that I can't wear my hat as low as he's got it. He has the brim almost touching his ear, but my hat won't go that far down on my head because my head touches the inside of the hat. Also, if I want to make the rear flange on my hat look like a mess too, how do I do that? -

Question about the Raiders brim
Yes, but you see in the second photo in Cairo the rear brim is drooping down quite heavily compared to the one in the Nepal above it. How do you get that really heavy dip in the rear brim in the Cairo hat? -

Question about the Raiders brim
So, I tried to put a proper raiders bash into my new Fed 4, but the brim doesn't droop in the rear like Indy's does. I was just wondering how you can get that really nice sweep and droop that he gets in his hat? I mean at both the front and the rear. -

Shaping a fedora?
Lol, I'm a bit OCD about stuff like that. I like everything to be in straight lines, and lined up properly etc. -

Shaping a fedora?
Ok, so I put a bash in my new hat, and it looks great when I'm not wearing the hat. But here's the weird thing, if I put the pinch above my nose, where it's supposed to be, the hat looks like pointing at an angle, relative to my face, and if I turn the hat so that the pinch is slightly off from... -

Post New Hats Here!
I would say when i Kind of. The ribbon sits in front of my ear, but I didn't deliberately turn it. I could have turned it more to distort the brim, but I didn't want the ribbon to come too far forward. So it does have a little turn in it, but it's not as extreme as the Raiders turn is. I... -

Do you think I need to adjust the bash a little to make it look more like Indy's hat, I mean the Grey Clipper hat of course. -

Post New Hats Here!
So I just got my Fed 4 today, and I'm very pleased with it. Wish I'd bought one in the first place, but hey ho. Here's some pictures of my initial attempt to do an Indiana Jones Raiders style bash. Let me know what you guys think. I should also add that it appears to come about 1 size large... -

Some children tried to steal my hat yesterday
I do not have to talk, or say "hello", to every person I meet on the street, and certainly not children. I should not have to fear being harassed, or having my property stolen, simply because I was minding my own business and didn't want to talk to anyone. I think what drew their attention was...
