I'm looking for a fedora that's indy style/color but smaller brim...I want something I can wear just messing around

Just like this:


I'm looking for something JUST like Michael J Fox's hat in Back to the Future 2. It's a fedora, with a nice short brim (not too short) and a tied bow ribbon around the crown. Even has a bash. Would love to get one like this in Indyish colors and even navy blue

Are you after something with the same crown height and a raw edge? If so, you could always get an Akubra Federation and have the brim trimmed down. Just a thought if you're still after something Indyish...

Actually, I think Akubra makes a couple similar to that. If not, try shopping for Dobbs hats. That is very much the sort of thing they tend to make.

Also, Duanne at thefedorastore.com has a "design-a-hat" section. You'd be getting a Beaver Brand with options you select, priced somewhere between an off-the-shelf and a custom. Duanne is good about communication via e-mail, so he can answer any questions.

I wear my Indy fedora when I'm just "messing around" and I've noticed no ill effects...

...or you could just try evilbay and search for gray fedora.........lots of vintage and new fedoras with that 2 inch brim..............AKUBRA HAMPTON..........also a small brim hat........

I ordered an Akubra Hampton in Cruiser Grey from hatsdirect
But since it was a special order, I had to wait 3 months to get it.

Last week, Jenny from hatsdirect wrote to me, to tell me they sent my hat, so I should get it this week.

If you want I can post some photos so you can have an idea about the hat.

Yesterday I got my Akubra Hampton, here three photos :

A comparison shot between My Fed IV in Carbon Grey and the Hampton


And the Hampton with its feather (I still don't know if I will keep the feather or not)


Here a link to my Hampton's album photos

Very interesting. You've succeeded in finding a hat that I like the ribbon trim around the brim.

I like this hat a lot, it suits me better than the Fed.

Nice hat! Looks good! About the feather, I say: "Loose it" - just my opinion!

I already take it off after my mother ask me if I was going to guard sheeps in the mountain
It's better without it, more "fashion"

On those smaller style hats I actually like the taper.
Very stylish SpeedRcrX
