Federation Deluxe... Just got one in.

[KingNothing]

So after a long story about how bad Canada Customs and Canada Post are, which I'll spare the details for now, I got my hat yesterday. (Ordered and paid on the 19th). Anyways, I have a question as a newbie hat wearer. It looks like the band needs to be changed on it to be more accurate. It's a weird gentlemans bow. If I order say Todd's hatband and throw it on, what info do I need for this? When I "tack" it on, do I sew through the lining to add the tack's or is there a better way? I tried searching for this but I'm not very good at it or there is nothing that I could find...

Anyways I'm hoping to add an AB to the collection too, before the price (and demand) go up. But I love this hat!

Also any tips on how to get a better bash would be great. I started with a Raiders idea, but sorta went on to the TOD/LC loose pinch. Is there a "best bash" for the Fed Deluxe??

Oh yeah... Pics.. Will get better ones tomorrow when I'm not tired and have the camera within arms reach.

My first one from years ago (Beaver Brand, don't know much about it)....






This is my first real "bash" so be fairly gentle. Did it in 10 minutes to go out for halloween.

I believe that's the brand Lee Keppler sells. It looks really nice, and so does the new Federation..
