Club Obi Wan

Cow doesn't have a whole lot of topics hitting the fedora section so I thought I might put this up for something for everyone to look at. This fedora is roughly 2 years old. It is my go to hat. I wear it everyday rain or shine. I wear it with formal attire and rugged attire alike. I feel naked without it. It started out as a AB CS beaver felt. I have done nothing but wear it and I think it has turned into a beautifully worn fedora. The ribbon is a little dirty and the liner has a small hole forming in it, but otherwise she is perfect. I wouldn't trade her for anything....









Hope you like,

THAT is a good looking hat!!! Loads of character on that one!

It looks really good on you...well proportioned to your face. It looks soft, loved and happy in that front shot. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing fedoras that are well worn.

Good looking hat. And it looks just right on you!

Thanks for the kind remarks gents. The fedora really is soft but solid at the same time. I am learning that is one of the great qualities of a beaver felt. She looks a little beat up and dirty but that is the way I like her. One day I will get Steve to clean her up, but for now I think I will leave it just like it is. Lived in.

Now that's a CS fedora, dang if it don't look like it's been acouple adventures. Mine looks like it just came out of the box.

Quality lid..... It looks lived in, but hasn't lost any of it's "soul"... Still clearly a CS hat.. Wonderful stuff.. And well worn by you!

Very cool photos...

Great looking fedora there...Doesn't look like the elements have even touched the block-shape on that...

Class!!

Ian

GORGEOUS lid!



beaverlid, you're doing it EXACTLY right... THIS is the way it's supposed to be done!
Glad you're enjoying owning this wonderful hat... It certainly shows.

Thanks for posting this!

It is hard to get an AB to look like it isn't new out of the box. It has been said a thousand times on COW but I feel obligated to say it one more time; AB fedoras are as tough as they come.

Beaverlid

Nice!! I love the brim swoop especially - it's almost a little Last Crusade looking!

Keep wearing that thing, man!

Shane

That hat looks fantastic!!!! Can't wait to get mine!!!!

After owning a beaver AB for 5 years i can only say, they get better and better with time. And yours is a proof of it!!

And those pics certainly agree with you.

Beverlid, I must say that is one of the best looking ABs I've seen on this forum. Definitely looks better than brand new.
