fatwoul said:Ah stop being such a baby about that box. Federations are tough! I bet you won't worry when you get your Fieldmaster. Those babies are supposed to be cast iron.
Legend has it Fieldmasters are felted in the fires of hell by the devil himself, made from hair ripped from the heads of a choir of screaming banshees.
Being a lawyer, Ken makes weekly trips down that way, so that's when he picks up his hats. lol

Is that a larger size, or has the Fed come down in crown height? I seem to remember the crown being taller, usually.

And the hat looks good on you.
I am also considering the Federation. Did it reach you without the "told og moms" on top?
pils said:Thanks guys!
Indycop: I started by trying to do a diamond crease as shown in Dinerman's video in the hat creases thread. From there I kept fiddling with it (lowering the crown more and more and smoothing things out) until it looked right in the mirror.

deanglen said:I understood three words in that, Rene! Hat, bash, and Niels. Flot means something positive? I'd bet it does, but what? "Og" is "and"? Hope all is well with you.

Speedster said:Hi dean, all is well here, thanks. Hope all is well with you too. "Flot" means something like handsome, smart, elegant, fine, nice and "og" means and. And bash was used as i didn't know a good equivalent word in danish.
fftopic: I was out on the shooting range last Saturday in the SpanAm outfit (still missing some equipment, though). One of my shooting buddies (a collector of 1st generation Colt Peacemakers) showed me his newest purchase: a 5 1/2 inch Colt .45 with Cavalry stamps on the grip from 1890! Amazing and smack on for the Campaign Hat. I took some photos of the Hat and Colt together which i will post in the Campaign hat thread when i get the time to upload them.
