New Grey Adventurebilt w/ pics
Just received my grey Adventurebilt fedora a couple of day ago. I wanted to thank Mr. Delk for another fantastic job. I just love it Steve. I took a couple of quick shot's to share with everyone. I'll take more soon ( with me wearing it). I ordered it open crown and shapped it myself.

thanks everyone for the comments( I would love to hear what Steve thinks). My first time shapping a brand new fedora and I wanted an opinion other than mine. I'll take some other pics as soon as I can.

Great job on the crease!! By the way, the hat will darken up once the fresh pounce job oxidizes a bit. The inside of the hat, under the liner is what the color will be, if you want to peek and see. I do not like to oil my hats, which of course would make it look darker with no light areas, as well an evening out the color. Now, I am working on Michaelsons, "Abner Fedora", and will post pics of how his turns out. I think this will be the first for the Abner hat, to my recollection. My only qualm about Michaelsons hat is my limited long oval blocks may not be the best block to use on his tapered hat, but we shall see. I have a great block for the Abner fedora in the regular oval. Again, great job Mr. Penman. You make my hats look good!! Fedora

Sorry about my head shape, old friend. I was born that way.
If push comes to shove, and you're not satisfied with the final results, go with the regular oval and see how that looks.
Regards! Michaelson

Thanks Steve. Your great quality hats makes it easy to crease and shape. One question for you. Do you have any pics and still make the bogey fedora ( grey)?
