The Definitive Cavanagh Edge Primer *

[DRB]

Thanks Alan, I am liking it more every day. It has become my most comfortable hat.

Does he have any taller hat bodies that you know of? Your hat has a lot lower crown that I like.

Andy, he probably has what you need as far as cavanagh edge or mink. As you know, cavanagh edged blank hats have to be made to the exact brim size and crown size. In other words, he only had 3 hat cav. edged bodies for a 5 inch open crown that is 21/8 inch brimmed. He might (guessing) have 20 of a higher open crowned 21/8 inch. Am I making any sense? Most of the guys/gals on the FL like the higher crowns, so they should be able to find something there.

I will be adding future Cavanagh Edge hats to the link: The Custom Hatter http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showt...-Custom-Hatter
once the hats are finished. I have 3 more being built. One is a dark olive Cav. edge (suitable for a black suit), the other is a Light sand color that is 70% mink and 30% beaver, raw edge. The third one is a slightly darker white (bone) with a gray ribbon with a unique centerpiece for a bow. Raw edge.

Thank you again Brad for this wonderful introduction to the Cavanagh Edge.

I recently rang the Akubra factory in Kempsey, to find out when they stopped doing cavanagh edges so I could use it as a dating device. I was told they still do it on a couple of lines, most notably the RENMARK, one of which I have and what prompted the enquiry. So it lives on.

I emailed Yates Menswear in Renmark, S. Australia and they replied:
"Thanks for your enquiry. The Renmark hat has a welt edge (felt is doubled over and stitched) and is a made to order hat, with about an April delivery.
Colours available are Cedar Brown, Valley Brown and Cruiser Grey.

The hat is $134.95 AUD and Express postage would be $15.00 AUD

If you would like to proceed, we accept credit card by phone, bank transfer, or paypal payments.
Just let me know which you’d prefer.
Cheers!
Regards,
Haydn Yates"

So the hat sounds very interesting, but not a cavanagh edge.

I was looking for info on Cavanagh edge and this thread came from the Fedora Lounge thread history. Great info.

If you have not read Brad's info, it deserves a gander.

Best, Eric -

I got two compliments on it from women today.

That's the main point, in my view. Underneath it all, that's it.
