It looks great, Holt. I'm trying to do the same to my Fed IV. Can you post views from some other angles?

That looks excellent Holt. A tweaking in progress! :tup: The shadows really emphasise the depth of your front dents.

My Fed Deluxe was dispatched last Friday :D :D and I am itching to get it in my hot hands. Still haven't decided how I will bash it - I am drawn in many different directions!

Cheers

This is the one that's going to be your travel around fedora, right? ;)

Do I recall correctly? One of them is being trained as the go everywhere hat? :tup:
thanks AC...yes this is the travel fedora.its a sturdy and stiffer hat..so think this one can take more weather abuse...

I think I will get a new hat for my display soon...but no soaking :wink:

ohh...BTW PM sent :wink:

I just use lots of tight clothes pinches on it to make the creases sit that tight.

I let them stay on for 5 nigths.just so the felt gets really used to sit that tight in over a longer period...when I take them of the pinch and creases stay in that way.

That's a very slick looking SOC Federation. Nice job! I am kinda curious, though, how tall is that front pinch?
