    What to wear with a fedora....

    What an interesting brim shape

    HERITAGE grade Akubra Campdraft in Silver Belly Campaign

    Regarding shrinking, mine definately shrunk. When I got it, it was too big, but after a light steaming, and later getting it wet in the rain, my campdraft did shrink from to big to too small. I had to use the hat stretcher on it. So, in my experience, they come big for size, but get them wet...

    What degree of rake do you prefer?

    I like a medium rake, but for me it takes a fairly tall crown to get it, and some of hats have a more level rake because there just isn't enough room in the crown to do more, it seams. And then on a cowboy hat I have, which is a Resistol Black Gold, when I got it, it had a fairly low cowboy...

    Seriously?

    Wow! I never had the dye in the liner run before. The problem I have had is the dye in the felt run, and my black hats seem to be the worst, and my fingers will be black after shaping a black hat.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Thanks, That's information I might be able to use. I just think if I can knock the fuzz down a little, I will like the hat that much better.

    Yes, that is always an option, but I would kind of like to get this one, a little smoother. Maybe I am too picky.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    You may be right, I was not really worried about the feel, as much as appearance. I was looking for a smoother, slightly dressier, less fussy look, and I had read on here comments, about maybe sanding a hat, but not much did is see on how to do it.

    Harrison Ford picks the hat. Cowboys and Aliens

    I think Ford looks good in his new hat. I wish I had one like it.

    Harrison Ford picks the hat. Cowboys and Aliens
