Today I just received a adventurebilt fedora from a forum member.
I love this hat, it is the best hat I ever had. I am so happy with it. I am glad I didn't get a wool fedora. I am wearing the hat right now, and I can tell you that it feels great, and looks great too.
I thank the person who gave it to me.
Here are some pictures of it. I will take better pictures later.
Indiana Wayne.

I love how your post is all excited, but your pics make you look like your mom dressed you up in a blue suade suit and set you up on a date with Sally Smith from down the street.

I have to thank two people for this hat, the guy who bought it, and Steve, AKA Fedora, who made it.

Sure you were Ren. That's was when school pictures were painted on cave walls.
Great lookin' hat Wayne. Wear it in good health ... and in poor health ... and on your death bed

The hat looks great .... why does it remind me of my old Peters Bros. ? Has anyone else thought that?

Looks like the front of the bash popped up. That is not Fedora's style.

It may have popped up a bit in shipping. I've had it happen and it was cake to fix. Just try pushing the front of the bash down with your fingers. It should just pop back into place.

Yep, the blend is springy felt and tends to pop out more than the beaver. A little hand adjustment will correct the top. Glad you like it. All the thanks is due the benefactor. Heck, I just made the hat.

What bash is it?
Well, push the top crease in deeper, re-pinch the front crease, and you got yourself a Raiders fedora. Fedora
