Hello Fedora Fans,

I had some trouble with my login today on the Lounge, I received a page that displayed the heading oopssss, we rean into a problem, after receiving that a couple of times I decided to ask Microsoft Co Pilot a question, I ask which on line forum has the best information about making fedora hats, The Fedora Lounge is tops and I ask AI to display everything that was available, then clicked on a forum page link, then I was able to login. One way to work around the problem.


Ebay has started something new, every time that I login now I have to enter all of the login information and now
Ebay has set it up so you have to verify your login with a text message from them before you can gain access to your listings.


Interesting, maybe time to ask Co-Pilot what happen with the Ebay website this past weekend??
Try asking Co Pilot, you will get a full report on the Ebay problem.

Co Pilot will even help with instructions on making a fedora.

Any thoughts,
Darrell

That is an interesting workaround. I'll have to give it a shot. I haven't had any issues with my eBay listings since the site was DDOS attacked.

Hello Fedora Fans,

It has been a while since I posted anything new on the forum. Today I have a new fedora to post, the hat size is 7 1/4", the felt is a FEPSA 100% pure rabbit in bone color, the brim width is 3", open crown is 5 1/2", the crown has a single crease, crown height at the front crease is 4 1/2", height at the back is 4 1/4", height on the sides is 5 1/4", the brim binding is 1/2" wide bone color grosgrain ribbon, the hat band is a western style in 1/2" wide bone color, the hat band bow was fun to make, something new for me. The leather sweatband is chestnut with a little black bow, the satin hat liner is a cream color. I have change my label on the liners to one line, Busted Hats. I am easy to find on Ebay now, just type in bustedhats, I have 4 hats for sale right now, this will be the fifth fedora. The hats maybe listed for a while, but I will continue making and listing hats for sale.
Have a look at the photos of this FEPSA rabbit fedora, contact me if you are interested in buying this fedora.

Have a Great Weekend,
Darrell

Thanks to everyone for your feedback, I do appreciate it,

Beautiful work, as always.

Beautiful work, as always.

Thank you Sir. I really appreciate the feed back on the hats that I make. I am always looking for ways to improve my work. There is always a way to improve the work or something new to learn. Learning how to make the bow on this fedora was a test for me, getting the folds right and the length of ribbon needed for the bow.

Very nice.

Thank You Randy, I really appreciate all of the feed back that I receive on the hats that I make, when I work on a new hat I try to find a better way of doing the work, I have made some changes in the way that I make hats and I am slowly improving. I am still learning and always will be looking for a new way to do something. I have started using a sewing machine for the brim bindings, I found a machine that works great & at my speed-slow. I purchased a Janome MD-30 just for brim bindings.

Sounds like you are collecting the equipment to help do the job properly, too. I keep up with your work and I can see the improvements. Keep learning, my friend.

Really nice work, Daryl. It’s great to see a new build from you on the forum! The proportions look great, and that new western-style bow is a fantastic twist. The new one-line liner script looks sharp, too. Someone is going to definitely enjoy this hat!

Looking Good Captain. How is the weather out on the beach?

June gloom every morning, but no snow!

June gloom every morning, but no snow!

I lived out there is California in the early 80's and every morning driving into work fog covered the area and we didn't see the sun until noon, I also went through boot camp training at MRCD San Diego, funny thing is I don't remember being able to look up at the sky during training, our focus was on everything else, you know, like PT, marching and Marine Corps History. First ***** I ever fired was a M14, first time I ever drove anything was a truck, MOS 3531.

Hello Fedora Fans,

Someone ask me how to find my hats on Ebay, here is a link, if you like one of the hats contact me.

Here is a link to my Ebay page, I have 5 hats listed for sale, if anyone is interested in one of my hats, contact me & we will work together, I can stop a sale on Ebay any time.

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?ite...trksid=p4429486.m145687.l2562&_ssn=bustedhats

I ran a search for busted hats, that didn't work, however a search for Indiana Jones Raiders style fedora should have one of my hats listed, that one listing will get you to the other hats.

Have a Great Weekend,
Darrell

Yes Sir, your new fedora will be shipped out tomorrow, you should get it next week, of course the carrier could surprise both of us, they have done that before, I am betting on a Monday delivery.
Thank you Sir for your purchase, I really enjoyed working with you on your new fedora.

Have a Great Weekend,
Darrell
