Here is a side by side look at my Akubra Federation and my Adventurebilt Fortune and Glory.

Thanks for the pics, Prairie.
Nice looking hats - all.

Is your LC top dent identical to your other hats?
Your LC appears to have less pronounced front view camel humps (which is probably screen accurate - just curious how you achieved this).
Any other bash/brim differences in your LC Akubra (besides the front bash)?

Best Regards,

I certainly wouldn't call that Akubra 'tapered', but the AB has such tall straight sides, it really makes the Akubra look like it HAS tapered!

The LC Akubra has tapered, hence the lack of camel humps. I steam bashed it. You are right about the straight sides of the AB making the other Akubra look tapered. It's all in the shape of the block. Steve has created the perfect block for a Raiders bash.

Cool...maybe this means my medication is working then.

Thanks for putting up the comparison pic, PrairieJones.

Thanks for the pics PJ! Any word on the hat blocks for sale

offered by Fedora? And to get those humps in the AB , what

size crown should someone ask for?

what size crown should someone ask for?

The one that best suits your facial structure.

You need to PM him regarding it and he'll give you the info on the guy who makes his blocks for him. From there, you need to call the block maker to order your block. Steve doesn't plan on stocking blocks for sale himself, he's just giving us the info so we can purchase the exact blocks on our own. What's more, you pay the exact price that Steve pays, so he's not making any money off the deal. I'd PM Steve and he can tell you what block size to order, etc.

My crown on the AB is 5 1/2"

Well PJ, I'd have to say that you have done quite a nice job on all of your fedora offerings thus far. Maybe, once Steve get's too busy to keep up with the demand you could do some of the shaping for him.

Cheers!
