I was just putting this out there for anyone wanting to talk about TV shows. My question is thus: what shows (old or new, whatever) are you addicted to and why? Guess I'll start. Undoubtedly my favorite TV show of all time is the american sitcom Friends. It's witty, funny and has a genuine...

By the way, I'm interested.. how do you guys steam your hats? Persoanlly I haven't really given it a go, Mumsie was making a cuppa and I put my Fed IV over the kettle where the steam was coming out. Worked quite well but it wasn't a true "steaming."

Wow, didn't even realise this thread existed! Well I guess now's the chance to introduce myself. I'm Daniel, but I prefer the name Johnny (duh). Joined the Lounge after buying my Fed IV and I just love it. The atmosphere is wonderful, everyone is friendly, and the discussion is intelligent...

I think a lot of people missed this point of mine way back on page four ;) - Johnny

Dodgy pic, but shows what I'm wearing (yes, I'm the guy with the tie). The other bloke is my best mate Aidan. Funny kid. Anyhow...

Mate, I was in exactly the same spot you were before my fed came. "What if I stuff it up? What that hell is steaming and how do I do it? WHAT IS ALL THIS????" Well, then I got the Federation IV. Didn't even use steam until I'd bashed it to my liking. Believe me, it's waaaay easier than what...

Ahh, Goose, I know what you're going through. When I was first wearing my dark brown Fed IV I thought it looked ridiculous on me; thought the crown was too high. However, now I'm liking it more and more with every passing day. It just seems to get better looking. Sweet job on the...

Bah. Some people really are idiots. I've been referred to as a Blues Brother by wearing a black Akubra Bogart (I know!) and I was getting milk down at the milk-bar with my dark brown Fed IV the other day and I walked past a teenager and I promptly heard him snigger. He was wearing...

Agreed, you did a great job on that hat Goose. I have a slight... proposition. Seeing as heaps of people are getting the Fed IV all the time, we're going to have a lot of threads about it (not that I blame the owners - the Fed IV IS something to rave about). However, if everyone started...

What can I say? I'd dress up as Indy. Pick up a few Idols and Holy Grails along the way while I'm at it, and fight off a few Nazi's in the process. Would be fun.

Haha, was that a direct quote from my mother? Kidding ;) Will do sir, yes sir! And cheers, by the way.

Here's the dent on my lid: Tad hard to see but it's basically a dent that runs the length of the crown. Same dent as Indy's hat. And by the way, I like the CEO. Very nice "Australian" hat.

Right.... so is this taper at all? @ Goose: Ah, I get you. My Fed IV is just a centre dent the whole way through.

Ahh, gotta love the vests. They're my absolute favorite. Thanks man! ;) Love the hat, Carey (dead birds or not). Really suits you! And you're right. Waaayyy cool.

I have a really newbi question: what's taper? Is it like brim bounding or the stiffness of the hat or whatever? I have no idea. Also, Goose, how did you get the crown on the Fed IV that low? Mine seems to be really high.
