Wow, sweet collection! All 3 hats look awesome!!!
I know you bashed the Fed Deluxe yourself, but did you bash the two AB's, too? And are the AB's rabbit or beaver?
You've definitely got some fantastic hats, IF89!
EDIT: If you really want to make the "SOC" AB authentic, get it dirty and sit on it a few times!

need to buy some fullers earth*(spelling). I hear that will get the job done bought i don't want to permenetly mark the hat.
Well, coincidentally, I just got in a few pounds of the color used on the CS fedora. So, when I send out CS fedoras, I will include a little bag of the stuff for the customer to use, or I will dust the hat for them, upon request. But, I really need to wait until the film comes out in order to do a replica of how and where the dust was used. That is, we don't have enough pics of the hat so far to tell exactly how Bernie used the stuff. I am gonna experiment on one of my own hats today to see, or to learn how to use the stuff. Bernie would use a salt shaker I think, and then rub it in, in right places. I am figuring a piece of lambskin with wool attached should work fine to smooth the earth out. Since I use sheeps wool as a sponge in making hats, I have it on hand already. This should be interesting. Fedora
