    Hello all I've realised that I have a whole bunch of hats - some acquired years ago when I knew nothing and 5 in the last 6 weeks because I started really using the Fedora Lounge's depth of knowledge. As I learn more, I realise how much I don't really know (this is a general realisation...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I was walking out the ticket gate from the Underground on my way to work and this other guy wearing a very clean, looked kind of 80's and cared for baseball cap with a prominent ganja leaf on the crown paused and said respectfully "after you". I think he was about my age but we were both...

    Reshaping an Akubra Federation IV

    Thanks, but unfortunately am getting the broken image link, although I understand your explanation. Will have a look at hat shapers. I have another hat I picked up hat might benefit and I used the response to one of your earlier threads to reshape the crown by steaming. Sent from my iPad...

    Reshaping an Akubra Federation IV

    So I received my first Fed IV, Imperial, Carbon Grey open crown! Lovely colour and I managed to dry crease a diamond with very little difficulty (thanks to the Diamond Authority and FL writers who gave great tutorials!). No steam so far and softer felt than I expected. However.... the Fed is...

    So I walked into a random second hand shop between meetings, found a pile of hats and walked out with 3 for 50 euros. 2 are fine but nothing much, but the 3rd was a just beautiful Dermotta Wien. Going back for work in a month so will get more organised! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
