Absolutely second this, my brown Fed 4 is meant to be Last Crusade style and it’s taken two years of wear, a snow storm and not infrequent manhandling of the brim to finally start getting the famous cowboy curls as seen in that film. It was well worth achieving it the long way though, I feel...
Probably depends. I know when the day comes that I can finally order an Advintage hat or two the intention would be regular year long use. Of course they have the reputation for that. My two Fed 4 Deluxes are daily use of course. But if I can ever get an awesome vintage hat that’ll probably be...
Yeah, the diamond bash really suits it, due I’m sure to the relatively high open crown. The angles are much more slick and sharp than on anything factory shaped and the inevitable asymmetry gives a nice human touch. I wish I was talented enough to make the brim symmetrical and reflange it into a...
Thank you so much, I always get nervous as to wether it just looks silly on me, but I’ve loved classic fedoras since I was a teenager.
Thanks! It’s so much more fun to wear now with that diamond bash, feels very suave.
Thank you! I wore it to work yesterday and was so happy with it that doing anything else would be a huge mistake. It’s amazing that 1/8 in off the brim was all it took. Very much considering getting the edge bound someday but that’ll have to be for the future.
Well, I trimmed the brim down by 1/8 of an inch and reshaped the crown. The brim’s still a work in progress, I may trim it another 1/8 in but I’m going to let it stay for now.
Yeah, I’m debating taking off 2/8 in off the whole brim of the moonstone and giving the crown a good deep Bogart-style diamond bash, figure it’d be a good Maltese Falcon style if did. Thing is, the simple center dent looks great, so I dunno. Either way, shortening the crown maybe in the cards...
My brown Fed 4 Deluxe is about 2 years old now and fits so damn well I can forget I’m wearing it sometimes! I have a moonstone as well that I love that’s more of my “town” hat. Considering trimming the brim 1/8 of an inch or so, but I’m not sure. Sometimes I feel the brim is too wide, but that’s...
Hi everyone, first time poster, long time lurker...sounds creepy, anyway, so I have a brown Fed iv deluxe and I love it! It’s shaped “Last Crusade” style partially because of my love of Indiana Jones and partially because, Indy or not, it’s a great casual hat bash. I’d like to save up for a...
