Deifinately needs more muffin top. I'd make a wooden spreader and steam the top half and stretch it as you go.

The Fed looks great. Ive adventure grimyfied mine using some fullers earth to give it that lived in and abused look. Easily removable for a pristine look if needed.

Just picked up my own Webley MKVI from a local shop (its more like a department store and has a good, sports section). On offer for £129.99 in either new black or battlefield weathering. I went for the weathered look and its fantastic. Squeazed off a few rounds earlier. Not accurate over distance bu...

I reckon his closet must look like a clothes rack in Wested. 20 odd new ensembles of everything freshly grimed up ready for duty.

doppelganger

Ive had my fed 4 for a while and the size I asked for fits perfectly. And obviouzly the more you wear one the better it fits as it slowly moulds to individual bumps and lumps of your noggin.

Very happy with mine.

doppelganger

Sorry, a little OT, but doppelganger...what kind of race car you got there? Looks like fun. Nice fedoras, by the way! :TOH: Lol.... its a Mk1 Ford Escort with about 250bhp per tonne. I use it for tarmac stage rallies and im building a mk2 for the forest. As for the Fedora I think I am gonna give it...

doppelganger

Soooo here it is, it just looks off to me. Opinions please..... http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/mk1rob/Mobile%20Uploads/20160321_120950.jpg Here it is placed next to my old faithful.... http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/mk1rob/Mobile%20Uploads/20160321_121306.jpg This really shows ho...

doppelganger

Well...... mine arrived a while ago but....

I'm just not sure about the bash. I know its supposed to be off centre.... but this is REALLY off centre.

I may have to attempt a rebash. I'll get some pics later today and get some opinions first.

doppelganger

I have a shipping confirmation for my new SOC fed.... should be here tomorrow or Friday, fingers crossed.

doppelganger

Ooooh not seen it, I'll have to take a look. And Canyon.... Thank you (he says blushing).....

doppelganger

Well, they have arrived. And I have to say they are GORGEOUS..... from opening the packaging and seeing the lovely little cardboard boxes they come in to opening them and seeing the glasses cases they are in the quality jusy oozes. http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/mk1rob/Mobile%20Uploads/201...

doppelganger

Hoo shed dat?.... hic....
Already got a couple of jackets. A cotton raiders and a pre distressed raiders cow hide both from wested. My fed iv deluxe is really nice but really looking forward to my SOC fedora..... not long now

doppelganger

Yep, ive recently aquired a fed iv deluxe and the fit and feel is exquisite. You wont be disappointed.

doppelganger

Well ive dont it.... woke up with a thank you for your order confirmation. Now ive just got to wait 10-12 weeks.... Dont worry i couldnt conceive of drinking 25% worth of my income. Had a drink Satuday for Halloween and just finished off the box that was left last night. That'll be it till Christmas...

doppelganger

Scary thing happened on Saturday, I had some beer and was one click away from ordering a nice Advintage SOC fed....
Scarier thing is im drinking tonight as well with nothing to do but surf the net. Looks like I'll be waking up with a "thank you for your order" email....

doppelganger

Well here is my fed iv deluxe with a bit of adventure grime added. I love thecfit byt have since fallen for another. The advintage SOC looks awesome. So I'm going to have to get one. http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/mk1rob/Mobile%20Uploads/20151030_130631.jpg http://i448.photobucket.com/albu...

doppelganger

That looks incredible. Its everything you could want from a fedora. Having just bought and received a fed iv deluxe I now find myself coverting thy neighbours Fed! Looks like its going on my Christmas list. I better be a very good boy... or a very bad one and order it without telling my wife....doh!

doppelganger

Its finally here. My new fed iv deluxe. Ive taken some side by side shots with my £20 fedora special. Can you tell which is which lol. Very happy with it. The fit is perfect and ive done a quick bash as well. The first pic is of the freshly opened box. Good packaging for safety too. http://i448.phot...

doppelganger

Sorry if this thread is getting a bit pic heavy but I thought I'd put up this one after I took the shine off and added a little wear.

doppelganger

I know I have some boots but might have to get a pair of these as well.... nice

doppelganger

Thanks guys. Its a standard size 48. It sits about 3 inches below belt hight so feels about right.

doppelganger

Hi all, My wait is over. I finally have my Raiders jacket. No squeaking but feels a little rubbery. Just needs breaking in I guess. Whats the best way to get rid of the shine, without rolling around on the floor or going on a peruvian expedition? http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/mk1rob/Mobil...

doppelganger

With shipping from Oz it came out cheaper than the Christy's

Cant be bad.

doppelganger

Thanks Templar but ive just taken the plunge and bought a fed IV deluxe in dark brown.

Hopefully here next week. Wish me luck

doppelganger

Thanks for the replies guys. Ive decided that with my hand on my heart I'm taking a leap from the lions head and going for a fed IV. As the colours dont preview would you get the dark brown or the tawny fawn? Or is it really worth the extra for the deluxe fed IV and go for dark brown or heritage faw...

doppelganger

Ok great thanks. I'll take a look

doppelganger

59. My current cheapy is a 60 and was a tad loose so I steamed it and shrunk it to fit.

doppelganger

HI All, I currently have a real cheapy of a fedora and am looking at upgrading. I dont want to spend megabucks and see the Christy's fedora is available for about $160. Does anyone here have any experience with it and what are your thoughts on it? Or is there anything else in that kind of price rang...

doppelganger

Yeah I washed it. The army surplus shop claimed it had been done already as they know the score with the asbestos but I did it again anyway.

doppelganger

I went for real as I got mine straight from my local army surplus for £15. I also want to go for a used look to my gear so saved me having to distress it. It feels nice and solid and as aleady stated it holds ipads and books with ease. http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/mk1rob/Mobile%20Uploads...

doppelganger

The store room out the back....lol. Many projects on the go.

Anyone for an Indy in carbonite?

doppelganger

Ah great stuff, thanks Jeff.

doppelganger

Hi all, I know its not leather but my new wested cotton raiders came this week. The fit and finish iscfantastic so ive put in an order for a Raiders jacket in pre distressed hide. Its on the shelf so should be here early next week. Cant wait. I think this one will be my new smart going out jacket. D...

I use photobucket for my pics. Free to sign up for an account and loads of storage space. You can then get links to the pics for various uses.

Nice looking whip. Whats it made of? Cow or Kangaroo?

doppelganger

Dont think its been mentioned but I bought a 7.5 footer from a company called HMB on ebay for £22.50 including delivery (about $35). My first whip and within 2 minutes I was cracking it. Obviously with plenty of forearm and back strikes (DOH) But cracking none the less. I'll get a better picture if ...

doppelganger

Thought I'd put these up. Bought them a few days ago off of fleebay new at a cost of £40 buy it now, about $60-$65 dollars. They usually pop up on there. They are Ted Baker Farsot boots. Being on a micro budget they will do for me. Rob http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq205/mk1rob/Mobile%20Uploads...
