Thanks for the replies.

Hi all, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been around here. I’ve searched but I can’t seem to find if there are any good factory Indy fedoras available, a la the Advintage Harrison, Adventurebilt Henry or Penman Everyman. I know that the Federation IV is still available, is there anything else that...

Nobody

Thank you

Nobody

Hi all, I haven’t been on here for a while. I’m thinking about picking up a new fedora. I was wondering if anyone has received a Federation IV Deluxe recently and if the color of the Deluxe is still lighter/reddish than the standard Fed IV?
Thanks

Nobody

Very nice!

Nobody

Clark, your Raiders looks great! Just to clarify it is not the "Hero" Raiders, correct?

Nobody

Hey everyone, I just received my hero in the soft goat. It has some pretty deep "wrinkles", for lack of a better term, from the shipping trip. Does any one know if those wrinkles will relax on their on after being hung up or is there something that I should or could do to help the process ...

Nobody

Looks great, tell us about it.

Nobody

Thanks, I've been waiting to see a picture of these two side by side. Would it be possanle to get some pictures outside in natural light?

Nobody

I had a ROLA that I removed the pads from, and I also think it made the jacket look better. just be careful when you take them out that you don't cut the stiching holding the lining to the shoulder seams or the lining could slide out the bottom of the sleves.

I am getting my specs together to order a Wested custom but I have read that there is "something new" in the pipeline from them. I was wondering if some of the people in the know think that it would be worth waiting for that new "something" rather than ordering now?
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks for the clear answer.

Someone was nice enough to answer you when you asked if all goat jackets smell the same way, maybe you could extend the courtesy to other members.

Nobody

I was wondering if the Wested washed goat has the same gamey smell that the standard goat has?
I used to have a Wested standard goat and it smelled a little funky.
Thanks,
Phil

Nobody

Thanks, your's looks very nice as well.
I sprayed it with a little bit of cold water.

Looks good everyone, but the one thing that I don't like about Todd's is the unfinished edge.

Nobody

Where is ia good place for replacement ribbon?

Nobody

Thanks, Good to know. Did you use a sanding
block or the sand paper by itself?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any pics of thier Federation that has been re-pounced?
Thanks,
Phil

Nobody

Looking Awesome Oak! Can't wait for some good news.

Nobody

I'm very interedted in seeing pictures.

Nobody

You are correct, it is rabbit felt and Akubras are made to handle harsh conditions.

Nobody

Looking Awesome

Nobody

Also should I use a sanding block?

Thanks Steve, how can I tell when I should switch to a finer grit paper.

Nobody

I had a couple of questions about pouncing.
1. What is the correct technique?
2. Does it lighten the color of the hat?

Thanks,
Phil

Nobody

Marc, Is the color of the 'Henry' darker than the handmade AB's?
It looks like it is in the pics that you posted.

Nobody

Very,Very Nice

Nobody

That turned out very good

Nobody

Anybody?

Nobody

I was wondering if anyone has a Fed IV and a Fieldmaster that could snap a couple of pics of them next to each other so I see the color difference.
Thanks,
Phil

Nobody

Great Pictures!

Nobody

Looks great, I can't wait to spend some money that I don't have on it.

Very Cool!

One way i know people have avoided the customs fee is by having hats direct write gift all over the box and hand write the address. This is what i asked for mine, and i'll keep you guys posted if it works out the way it did for the other guy who did it. That is what they did for my Fed III, I think...

Nobody

I have been searching around the forum looking into redying my Akubra ribbon.
I saw that some folks colored their ribbons with a sharpie and had good results.
Does anyone have any pics?
Thanks,
Phil

i think that depends on if the brim has been warped.

I was thinking to help pull it over the block more evenly
