A question about my new Adventurebilt Raiders fedora

Post by Bruce Wayne »

Just yesterday I recieved my Adventurebilt Raiders fedora in the mail (Thanx, Steve!!!) I just have one question about it. The pouncing on it seems less refined than on my previous AB Crystal Skull. Is it supposed to be this way?

Thanx!!!

Well, it's rabbit fur for one, not Beaver as on the Indy IV hats. Could that be the reason for the difference you're seeing?

No, I requested that it be made out of 100% beaver.

Have you contacted Steve? I would discuss this with him first.

Not yet, I figured someont here might know whether it is supposed to be that way in regards to screen accuracy. I would hate to bother Steve again since his inbox is already so crowded.

Always the very best to contact the maker for these questions.

That is what I ended up doing last night. I recieved a response back this morning & Steve stated that it has more to do with a particular run of felt than the pouncing. According to Steve: It is not an indication of felt quality, just "how" the felt was made at the factory.

Thanx!!!
