Wow, sweet collection! All 3 hats look awesome!!! :tup: :tup: :tup:

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! :wink:

Steve bashed the SOC style fed. I took my open crowned raiders AB and bashed it like KotCS. They're both beaver!

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

On the CS hats, tweak the front and back height to 4 3/4, front, 4 1/4 back. These are the official specs. Sometimes in shipping as with my other hats, the top crease that I put in come out somewhat. Fedora

I better wait on that for right now. I have given away too much already. LOL. But, you will see two brim sizes in the new film. Fedora

Great looking hats!

Hate to flaunt my ignorance but what's "SOC"? I don't think I've seen that acronym before.

Peaceful thoughts in the new year to everyone.
