Adventurebilt pictures
Cow doesn't have a whole lot of topics hitting the fedora section so I thought I might put this up for something for everyone to look at. This fedora is roughly 2 years old. It is my go to hat. I wear it everyday rain or shine. I wear it with formal attire and rugged attire alike. I feel naked without it. It started out as a AB CS beaver felt. I have done nothing but wear it and I think it has turned into a beautifully worn fedora. The ribbon is a little dirty and the liner has a small hole forming in it, but otherwise she is perfect. I wouldn't trade her for anything....
Hope you like,
Beaverlid

It looks really good on you...well proportioned to your face. It looks soft, loved and happy in that front shot. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing fedoras that are well worn.

Good looking hat. And it looks just right on you!
Re: Adventurebilt pictures
Thanks for the kind remarks gents. The fedora really is soft but solid at the same time. I am learning that is one of the great qualities of a beaver felt. She looks a little beat up and dirty but that is the way I like her. One day I will get Steve to clean her up, but for now I think I will leave it just like it is. Lived in.

Re: Adventurebilt pictures
GORGEOUS lid!
beaverlid, you're doing it EXACTLY right... THIS is the way it's supposed to be done!
Glad you're enjoying owning this wonderful hat... It certainly shows.
Thanks for posting this!
Re: Adventurebilt pictures
It is hard to get an AB to look like it isn't new out of the box. It has been said a thousand times on COW but I feel obligated to say it one more time; AB fedoras are as tough as they come.Indiana Croft wrote:Now that's a CS fedora, dang if it don't look like it's been acouple adventures.

Nice!! I love the brim swoop especially - it's almost a little Last Crusade looking!
Keep wearing that thing, man!

Beverlid, I must say that is one of the best looking ABs I've seen on this forum. Definitely looks better than brand new.
