Maybe you should be wearing the Fieldmaster in your avatar instead of that CAP

In time, in time. I've already had a fedora avatar, so I wanted a cap one. You ain't the boss of me.

Hadn't seen that one before ...

I'm very proud of my Resistwoul. Looks pretty amateurish, but it's the hat that has taught me how to reshape, iron brims, resize, and how to do edge binding. The edge binding still isn't finished. Maybe if my work clears enough, it might be done by Christmas.

So, as usual I'm confused....:eusa_doh: Who made the hat, and where do you get one?

JerseyJones, who posted in the previous page, is the Proprietor of the Camptown Hat Company.

Great hat Robin! You (and Ken:D ) do wonderful work!...Can you post a side byside of your Fed dlx and the Fieldmaster . I'd love to see the difference in browns.:eusa_clap

Yes, of course. I was supposed to do that for the review, but it slipped my brain. Some comparison pictures will be here soon.

Yikes! :eek: Someone is touchy!! The pic in the avatar is pretty cool though Robin. And I really like the Fieldmaster... looks great!;) :)

OK I managed to take one. AND it didn't take me a month to get around to it:

As you can see, the Fieldmaster is a much more rust-brown than its companion. You'll also notice I've put a diamond bash into my Fed Dlx. It looks weird from this angle, I know, but I've never really been happy with this perspective when photographing hats. This picture was really just to show the colours. The Federation looks much better in the other angles over in the Diamond Authority, so go look.

EDIT: Oops. I forgot we were trying not to use the word "bash" so much anymore. Sorry. :eek:
