The whole family:

I like the hat stand on the left!

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!

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

I 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.

Those lids look great!

Thanks Strider!

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

OK will do, then i'll post somemore pics.

Steve, can you say what the brim dimensions are on the KotCS fedora are?

regards fedoralover

Steve, can you say what the brim dimensions are on the KotCS fedora are?

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

Wow, those Akubras are looking better every time I see them

Great collection you have, 89!

Thanks you Canyon!

Excellent collection--three great brown fedoras, each with a distinct personality.

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.
