    How many hats do you have?

    I have 8 fur felts, Akubra and Stetson. Two inexpensive straw fedoras, Silver Creek and PFG. I also kept one of my early wool fedora conversions, it’s Ivory and it’s lightweight. I wear all of my hats so that is very satisfying. I don’t own any vintage hats because I have a “big ole head” , 7...

    Brent what color is this hat? It kind of looks like a Silverbelly in some pictures but a light grey in another. I’m sure it’s the lighting. If you decide to part with it keep us big headed fellas in mind. :) Steven

    Softening A Wool Fedora

    Great point Johnny. I used Scotch Guard as my last step. It works great and keeps the “wet dog” smell away. Steven

    Softening A Wool Fedora

    I’ve had fairly good results reshaping and re-creasing my wool fedoras with steam. I encountered two challenges; they became very soft requiring a stiffing agent (I used spray starch), each hat smelled like a “wet dog” while damp. To avoid any shrinking issues, I folded paper towels and...

    What is this hat?

    I have both, Sydney and Stylemaster. The are close to the same hat. Sydney comes open crown and has a raw edge. Stylemaster has a bound edge and has a pre-creased crown. Steven

    What is this hat?

    I’ve ordered three Akubra’s this year since the “pandemic” started. All have arrived in two weeks.

    whats the name/type of this hat?

    Here is a link to accurate descriptions of the fedora and a trilby “stingy brim”. The two often get confused but they are very different hats. https://www.hatsinthebelfry.com/blog/trilby-vs-fedora-the-difference-between-these-hat-styles.html Steven

    Akubra questions

    In reference to comparing the Fed IV to the Stylemaster, I can’t pick one over the other. Both types have their place in my rotation. I wear a lot of polo shirts when I’m not working. The Stylemaster in my opinion is a little more casual, so I reach for the Stylemaster more often. The Fed IV can...

    Akubra questions

    I made a short video this morning. When new, I steamed the crown and brim on my Fed IV and it has held up well to date. I hope my video provides some insight into your question about the stiffness. Steven

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I watched the romantic comedy, Blithe Spirit from 1945. The movie stars Rex Harrison, Kay Hammond, and Constance Cummings. It’s a great movie filmed in technicolor. After novelist Charles Condomine invites a self-proclaimed medium to his home for a séance, with the hope of gathering material...

    Akubra questions

    I would think the felt stiffness would be about the same for the most part. All of my Akubra’s are in the 2-1/2” brim range, regardless of model the felts seem the same to me. The factor that I would lend to a less stiff brim is its width. The wider the brim, I would tend to believe the more...
