Ah, I see. All good then.

I have a quick question on the Todds standard. I purchased one recently and I absolutely LOVE it. I wear it everywhere. What I have noticed is that the pleats flare out quite severely. Is this normal? The only 'distressing' I have done to it was to wear it out in the rain. If it's not supposed to do...

I'm just about to purchase a Todds standard also. It will be my wifes Christmas present to me :D. Going by the chart, XXL-A will be the closest fit for me. My chest measurement is 47¼ inches which is fine. Gonna have to work on losing my gut though.... 49 inches, so this will be my inspiration to ge...

Well, that's the first time I'VE seen this photo. Very interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing.

I like the clothes pin idea too, Holt, but I'm still a little scared to use it. I'm still practising bashing and don't want anything permanent yet. I need to get another picture posted...

And I'll tell you THIS, the afternoon I was perusing these boards and ended up mumbling to myself "Now, what the Heckle and Jeckle does 'SA' stand for?" seems like a LONG time ago... Where I'm from, SA stands for South Australia. When I first read the boards, I thought, "Gee, a lot o...

Hi MD,

The Fed IV is a great hat. Can't hardly take mine off! And if I do, I bash it

Aza1701

Jonsey, I love what you've done to your hat! You've gotta come over to my house and help me with mine

That's one beautiful hat!

Well I just pulled my Fed IV off of my head to compare to your photos. Mine has a little reverse taper when I hold it in my hands, which straightens out when I put it on, and is a lot flatter across the top. I'm only new to the hat game but I think yours would be fixable. I also think you did a good...

I voted "No" because so many other people did and I couldn't handle the peer-pressure 8-[

It looks great, Holt. I'm trying to do the same to my Fed IV. Can you post views from some other angles?

regards

Sad but true.

Well I'm glad I found this thread! Before I joined COW I was looking 'round the net at prop replica's in general and came across a page for Indy's bag. While taking a closer look at the pics, a sense of familarity came across me. "It couldn't be..." I thought. I went out to my garage and w...

Well, I got my Fed IV Deluxe on Monday and I've rebashed it every single night after I got home from work :). I'm working on that Raiders turn thingy everybody keeps talking about but I'm not sure if I've got it right yet. Can someone please tell me if it's turned enough or does it need to go around...

In my correspondence with Hats Direct last week, they indicated they were expecting the size 61's to be back in stock "in the next week or so", so you shouldn't have too much of a wait.

G'day Jonesy, 'owyagowen mate! When I first placed my order I went for a size 61 and was told they were on backorder. Then I was looking at my "Snowy River' Akubra and realized it was a size 59 (I don't know why I didn't check that first). I remeasured my noggin and got 60 so I emailed Hats Dir...

G'day all, first time poster here. I've been lurking for a while and decided to finally register and say hi. Last week I ordered a Fed IV deluxe after reading and reading and reading posts. It seemed to be the way to go with the budget I have. So this morning I got an email saying my COW account had...
