Those Feds look pretty nice! I ordered my first campdraft in Cedar Brown on 11/20 from the Hattery. Did you get a tracking update when it landed state side? I'm just curious since mine still shows enroute to the US.
I received a notice when my Cedar Brown landed in NY but no tracking number. It arrived about three days later.

Once the package arrives in the US you can use the tracking number from Australia Post on the USPS website.

I am new here and just purchased a Federation IV. I guess it will take a few weeks to arrive. Are there posts that explain how to make the correct bash? Thank you.

Steam the crown or spray it with water (don't soak it), push the top down front to back, and push the front sides of the crown in. Put it on your head in front of a mirror to see that it's straight. Then fine tune.

You can experiment and vary the depth of the dent and tightness of the pinch. But I would definitely moisten the hat before smooshing it around.

If you like the top center dent, leave it alone. If you want a diamond, put one finger on each side and push out.

C-crowns and teardrops (and others) are a little harder to do. If you're new to hats I'd recommend leaving the initial center dent to see how you like it and then go from there.

This is probably a dumb question, but should I use distilled water? I will get a tea kettle to steam it.
