I too have received email from Jenny and have found her helpful. I am about to pull the trigger on one of these models myself and appreciate this discussion. Jenny is very professional and helpful. She helped me make the right call on the sizing of my Fed 4 Deluxe (61). It has become my favorite ha...

So, do you have an "after" shot of this unfortunate experience (i.e. any scarring)?

Makes me think twice about cracking a bullwhip without a hat or glasses!

Hope you've knitted up OK!

Baseball caps are "unsuitable" in just so many ways... ears & neck get sunburned, holes let rain get in, makes a bigger mess of hair than any fedora does, tight and hot in warm weather. Fedora dorky? NO WAY! No Baseball caps -- unless on a baseball team; NO flip-flops -- unless at the...

I've rebashed my Fed 4 four times now because I didn't read thoroughly enough about the "turn" (i.e. I was a noob to wearing/bashing hats). :lol: First time - bashed it without the turn Second time - bashed it too far with the turn Third time - got the turn right but pinched the top of the...

Yup!

This hat is turned: http://www.hertzing.com/indygear/Fedora/observations_brim_wear.jpg Note how the bow is at the left temple, instead of directly above the ear. You've probably seen kids who wear baseball caps sideways. It's basically the same. Thanks a million! That worked perfectly on my Fed 4 D...

You won't be sorry with a Fed 4. Be sure to ask questions about the sizing.

Great customer service, btw...

Thanks again, Michaelson!

My apartment is so darn dusty that my Fed 4 is now naturally "Fullerized"!

Interesting stuff!

Man, I hope the molds last... wish I'd seen this thread about 3 months ago!

Good stuff!

I just e-mailed Gus about an 8' 12p whip and he confirmed the 6 week wait.

Great picture - she has really matured gracefully!

You could also try eating a few tubs of butter with a spoon. Eating a lot of deep fried bacon wrapped weiners and such oughta help that waistline fit real snug. Think outside the box, people! ;) Mmm...bacon... :lol: BTW, I did have a pair of L.L. Bean wool pants about 25 years ago (they don't sell ...

So have you got out to crack it yet? Any comments?

Thanks for posting - looks like a great "Indy-on-a-budget" whip.

He cut the plastic cap from the liner itself. It's not a part of the felt, so it will affect nothing regarding the brushing of the hat. If you're asking what it will do itself, it will make the hat a bit cooler to wear, as the heat from your head won't be trapped in the top of your hat....but in my...

A question pertaining to the inside brim...

I have an Akubra Fed 4 Deluxe and read somewhere about someone who cut the inside clear plastic liner out (along the top of the hat). What will that do to the hat if you cut it out?
