Hope you dont mind ... but I resized one photo
because it is a sweet looking fedora with great styling.

Caparzo this hat is a really beautiful one, classy shape :!:

Wow. Not my personal preference on the color, but the shape is near perfect I think.

Caparzo, you wear that hat well! I even like the color on you. Well done!

Great bash for that hat in my opinion, very "slick" looking lid. If the photos are true to color, that shade is also great for a somewhat dressier hat.

Oh yeah. What size is that fedora? And is it a regular or deluxe?

Caparzo · Post by **Caparzo** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 3:31 pm

The size is 56cm. It's the Regular. The Deluxe is not made in this color.

Thanks.

Did you have that blocked by someone? It looks amazing!

Caparzo · Post by **Caparzo** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 6:41 pm

No. It's my first bash.

Very well done Caparzo!

I just got one after Christmas and love it.
I do believe that the larger than 56-57 sizes
have better blocks.

I really need to post a pic.

The colour is sweeeeeet!
Ummm....did I just say sweeeeet? Seems weird coming
from the mind of a guy in his 4O's.

Ahh..who care's, It is sweeeeet!

what is the pre and post bash measurements on that crown? It doesn't look like a top hat as most of the Federations here do.

Caparzo, that hat looks great! Good job on the bash.

Cheers!

I have to say, I love the look of the tawny fawn! It looks classy, but yet I could easily see it as a adventurers fedora.

Now I am trying to decide if I want tawny instead of mid-brown federation.

well, you've got plenty of time to decide. Tawny Feds are on backorder until the end of April

-in my size anyway.

Oooo! That is one swell lookin' lid! How difficult would you say bashing and pinching it was? ...since you claim to be a novice at it. Looks great to me!

I just ordered my federation and I will be bashing my fed based on yours because it is so perfectly awesome!

Nice job again!

Uh you've just inspired my next hat purchase. I was a little hesitant with the Tawny Fawn but it looks like just the thing for me.

Chevalier Krak · Post by **Chevalier Krak** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 1:16 pm

Gorgeous color and snazzy bash. I'd like to get one like that.

Looks great. I wasn't too sure about the color when I first saw it but these photos have changed my mind. I'm still unsure if I can purchase a federation in fawn but it does look #### good.

Hey Caparzo! You out there? We need a tutorial on how to bash a Fed 'Cappy' style! My Tawny should be in within the next couple of weeks, and I want to completely copy yours.
Anybody heard from Caparzo?

gabrielle · Post by **gabrielle** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 1:29 pm

Did you dry bash that or use water or steam?

Inquiring minds want to know!!! So we can do the same...

Fatdutchman · Post by **Fatdutchman** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 4:50 pm

I think yours looks better than mine....I think I'm gonna rework mine a bit.
