Youre doing a great job!

I have a Fed IV coming, and I'm thinking I might have to trim the brim to be able to wear it without looking, in the words of one poster on this forum, like a pez dispenser. I'm wondering whether to retain the dimensional cut or make it "circular".

Which color? I just l-o-o-o-v-e my moonstone Fed IV Deluxe.metropd said:I'm going to keep the brim wide like I always do when I get the IV Fed Deluxe. I maybe skinny but then so was Sinatra when he was young.
Only because the stingy brims are more recent. This postage stamp shows a straight-crown, wide-brimmed one from when he was young and skinny. Sinatra's fedoras tracked the fashions from the '30s onward.MrBern said:Skinny is fine, but Sinatra is more known for his later small brimmed hats.

I've just taken delivery of my brand-spankin' new Fed IV! I've tried to do a teardrop type of bash, and I think I've got it pretty much down. The centre tear-drop bit isn't quite as smooth as I'd like, though (it's a bit lumpy where the centre-bump meets the swoop down from the sides)... Any tips/comments/advice? Thanks so much, everyone!
Loads of pictures (sorry)....
Thanks for looking.. I hope the sight of my face wasn't too traumatic for anyone!
