I've been away from COW for a while, but I'm glad I've made it back to see this new hat for Fedora.
I can't wait to see more photos of it!

Thanks for the tips Indiana G.
Did you mean wrinkling the brim or curling it into a tight spiral?

So its basicly a Dorfman ? Nice Fed ![/quote]
That's a good one.
I can't stop laughing!

I made the hat out of cardboard, hot glue, and some wool felt from wal-mart.

Sorry the pictures didn't show up right.
If anyone knows what I did wrong, could you tell me what it was?

Here they are! When I said it was a bad home made hat I meant it! http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/OrangeArmIndy/IJ%20hat%20pics1/100_1435.jpg http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/OrangeArmIndy/IJ%20hat%20pics1/100_1436.jpg Here is the Fed. I was going for a general raiders look, but I don...

I've been meaning to post a picture of my fed so I can get some feed back so I'll post them both today.

Hey coolmiester, did you want to see the fed or the bad home made hat?

I used the fastest mailing option that hatsdirect.com had so I would get my hat by Halloween (exactly seven days away from when I ordered) and it frustratingly came two days after Halloween. I had to wear a very bad hat that I made myself instead.

I just received my fed! I can't wait to bash it!

Thanks for all the info everyone. I didn't think about the styrofoam staining the hat. Thanks for telling me that.

I just ordered a Fed IV and I was trying to find a cheap hat holder and I was thinking :-k ... what about one of those styrofoam balls that you find in craft and hobby stores. You could cut off the bottom so it doesn't roll away and it could be shaped with sandpaper to be the shape of your head. I d...

To those of you that have not received you Feds, I feel your pain. I paid extra money for my Fed to arrive by Halloween, but it didn't.
Today's the fifth day and if it doesn't get here today I am going to be very dissappointed. So Fed, please show up today!

Yeah, his hat looks really good. Does anyone know where to find the video of Adam cracking his whip?

Thanks for all of your help. I just ordered my Federation IV and I can't wait to get it!

Yeah, I can't wait to make my first bash.

Thanks jnicktem, for the advise and the welcome. I thought the dark brown was what I needed.

This is my first post and I just need help with one thing. I am planning on getting a regular Federation IV but I'm not quite sure what color to choose for a screen accurate Indy hat. :-k I'm pretty sure the dark brown is the one I want but I just wanted to ask here before I ordered the wrong color....
