hi

im very new here and i have been looking for a really good indy hat for a while now. this forum has really helped me out so thanks to all you guys iv decided on a akubra fed iv. my question is where can i find a good, clear guide into bashing the hat to either the radiers or crystal skull style?

thank you
kind regards

Take a look here or here

These are the two tutorials I know but I bet there are plenty more out there.

thank you kindly

is the Akubra fed iv easy to bash? i know some rabbit fur can be a little arkward at times.

Yes it is dead easy. Set the bash how you want it, then use only an ever so slight amount of steam to briefly soften the felt (do it in one location at a time) and then hold it in position until the felt re-stiffens as it cools.
