    What is your favorite hat crease?

    RJR, thanks I did move the diamond down a bit from the picture I posted. I'm still learning all the hat bashing stuff. Thanks again.

    Stetson Stetsonian

    Sorry it's been awhile, I had rotator cuff surgery earlier in the month and I'm just getting back into things. Thanks for your comments. I took your suggestions and moved the pockets back a bit. It is a little difficult but this is what I came up with. Is it better? Maybe not there yet...

    Stetson Stetsonian

    Well I ordered the Stetsonian today. Shipping out tomorrow, should get it next week. Carbon Grey in color. Got it for $178.00, I think that was a good price. Hopefully my wife will let me put the diamond bash in it first before she wraps it up for Christmas, as it is my gift this year. I'll...

    Stetson Stetsonian

    Moontheloon, thank you sir. That is the bash I'm hoping for. Is it fairly easy to do? Do you start with a center dent and work it out from there? Can I ask how much rake you have on the crown?

    Stetson Stetsonian

    Moontheloon my I ask what bash you have in your Stetsonian? I was thinking of getting one and want to put a diamond bash in it. Do you think a diamond bash would look good in a Stetsonian?

    I was wondering what hat out there today would be the best "Bogart" hat one could get? Looking for as close to style, color, crease etc... What is the best hat to get (on the market today) if you wanted that "Bogart" feel?

    Akubra FD4 Deluxe

    What color did you get? Yes tracking is a nightmare, but not the fault of Hatsdirect.com, customs is the hold up and for lack of updates. I have ordered a couple of hats from them and Trudi and the gang over there are awesome to deal with. I love my Fed IV in carbon grey. Might have to get one...

    Hats Plus in Chicago: trip report

    Thanks for the review, I live in the west suburbs of Chicago and have been to Hats Plus. Great staff, large selection. I bought a Stetson Pinnacle, they had my size in all the colors. Just nice to walk into a place and have options. Glad you had a good experience.

    Akubra Overload

    Well I'm trying to post pictures for the fist time. Here is my first Akubra Federation IV in Carbon Grey. Have to say I'm in love with this hat. Very nice felt, fits great and was very easy to bash. It was my first time bashing a hat and was a little nervous about it, but it went very well. I...
